Yep defo, are you with edexcel??


I for one, am doing Edexcel Science, but only up to Additional. Currently going over P1.

Today I've done:
Lenses
Telescopes
Wave Properties
EM Waves

I'm finding it hard to study for my French GCSE. If you study a Modern Foreign Language, how do you revise it? I usually get A-A* in papers without revising, but I don't want to risk getting an A for the actual exam.

Thank you! Luckily Geology is available, but I don't have much of an idea what it involves - though I think it will fit in well with the science subjects I want to study. Good luck with your studies too :smile:


it involves the study of rocks and minerals going to the natural history museum and the geology bit would be good before you go to collage if your doing that.
