Hi!
This is my first time posting on TSR
I thought I should make a thread for the winter exam series this year because I couldn't find one. I still have about 2 weeks left of exams! Anyone who has anything to say about this exam series (rants about papers, grade predictions, etc.) are welcome to post!
Subjects I'm taking (they're all the extended syllabuses, so the maximum grade possible is A* in all of them):
-First Language English (0500)
-Foreign Language French (0520)
-Mathematics (0580)
-Computer Science (0478)
-Environmental Management (0680)
-Biology (0610)
-Chemistry (0620)
-Physics (0625)
(Note: These aren't re-sits, this is my first time doing these exams! My school chose the winter session, that's all)

oh my gosh that paper was so screwed up. i swear almost every paper this session was so different from previous years. but chemistry especially. i mean i knew most of the concepts but the questions were so weird. since the paper was quite difficult, i guess the grade boundaries will be quite low. it's usually between 140 to 150 out of 200 for an A* anyway. but i think i did well, idk. for all subjects, even if i don't know the answer to a question i always make sure i write something down because there's no negative marking anyway so i didn't leave anything blank. oh well, good luck for your results!
