ANSWER THE QUESTION DAMN YOUR EYES | a year 11 gyg

HAHAHA DW SAME LMFAO
thanks dude! you too
bro choosing computer science itself would have killed me 😭
ohhh yes i've heard of anime haha, not the biggest fan myself but yess
YOU KNOW WHO COLLEEN HOOVER IS OMGGGG SHE'S MY FAVOURITE AUTHOR
this is so fun bonding with youuuu
i've read: it ends with us, ugly love, november 9th by her and i can't wait for 'it starts with us' AHHHH

hey babe, don’t worry about replying late lol🥲🥲 i have absolutely been there before and i know you’ve probably been really busy, so no need to apologise <3

ABOUT MOCKS: THEY STARTED LAST WEEK MONDAY AND ENDED YESTERDAY. I MISSED THE ENTIRETY OF THE FIRST WEEK BECAUSE I TESTED POSITIVE FOR COVID ON THE SUNDAY….. i’m not sure whether that was good or terrible timing, but it meant i only had to do 3 exams when i got back, which is better than like 10 lol. i’m actually writing a blog post about that later where i’ll elaborate on my feelings on that and like “what now that i’ve missed so many exams” so you can read that later since i don’t want to write an entire speech here😅

HAVE YOU DONE YOUR MOCKS YET??? IF NOT, ARE THEY SOON??? how’s revision going for that? don’t stress, good luck for whenever they are, i know you’ll do amazing💗💗💗 feel free to yell if you ever need some help or a motivation talk or for me to reciprocate how supportive you’ve been to me (thanks btw!!) <3

YOUR PRACTICAL EXAMS….. HOW ARE YOU FEELING???? i am exactly the same in that, for a while, all of my time went to my textiles coursework </3 BUT I HANDED IT IN TODAY AND MY TEACHER CALLED IT “TOP GRADE” SO IM FINALLY FREE FROM MY TEXTILES NEA!!!!

what do/did you have to do for both pieces of coursework? i’m more interested in food tech because i didn’t take it, but also textiles because we might be using different exam boards (i’m eduqas)

anyway, again, thanks so much for your good luck wishes and your support and blah blah blah!!! take care of yourself and don’t worry about replying to this

<— i feel like all of our subsequent exchanges are going to end with “don’t worry about replying to this” because of how stressful yr11 is and the fact we know what each other is going through lol

okay bye fr MWAH

Seeing as you decided to make a thread on a Student Forum, and therefore investing time into yourself. You will do very well

hope your gcse are going good
and hope you are well

Thanks bubbles! How are you?

im doing good thanks just been doing sm coursework cuz the deadline is close and need focus on revision smh

That’s good to hear. Good luck for your coursework and revision!

Thank you!

Hey Icy!!!
How's everything going? Hope GCSEs aren't stressing u out too much! How's revision going?
Also, random but I know u do textiles - what tips do u have for it? Because last week my class started our sketchbooks for our own theme which we do from now until the end of December and I need tips for presentation

Hi! I’m so sorry I’m replying to this 57 days after you sent it - I can’t even remember the original context of some of what we’re talking about LOLL. Remember when the biggest thing we had to worry about were mocks?

I handed in my textiles work last week too - the relief I felt oh my gosh

For food tech - the coursework (which provides 50% of our final grade) is a practical section. We basically have to make two dishes (used to be three but they reduced it because of our good friend covid) based on a brief and write a massive essay on it. We gave it in a couple of weeks ago - that was pretty stressful lol. The other 50% is a theory exam which I’m kind of relying on haha! There used to be another food investigation task before covid but they took that out

For textiles - we do art textiles in our school, so it’s like a GCSE art course but it’s textiles instead (we’re doing edexcel). We didn’t have a brief this year, presumably because of covid, but we still did coursework and that’s getting marked now!

Anyway lots of love
I’m sorry we didn’t get to talk in so long and I am so grateful to have someone just to talk to about all of this

DON'T STRESS ABOUT THE LATE REPLY, HONESTLY <3 IT'S SOOOO NICE TO BE TALKING TO YOU AGAIN AND I'VE REALLY APPRECIATED HAVING UR SUPPORT THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE YEAR

honestly, it's soooo weirdf to think that we're actually doing our gcses now lol. i didn't appreciate life enough when the only thing I had to worry about were mocks that would only ever be seen by my teachers. EXAMINERS WILL SEE AND MARK THESE PAPERS???? they make also lowkey laugh at my stupid answers lol.

actually, I take that back. I believe in myself and so there will be no stupid answers (hopefully!)

CONGRATS FOR GIVING IT UR TEXTILES COURSEWORK!!! SO SO SO SIO SO PROUD OF U!!!! oh AND UR FOOD TECH COURSEWORK!!!!

HONESTLY BAE, IT DOESNT MATTER THAT IT WASN'T PERFECT OR THAT IT WAS STRESSFUL BECAUSE EITHER WAY, YOU DID IT!! coursework subjects are NO JOKE in terms of workload, so I hope you're happy with the outcome don't be too hard on urself!

ANYWAYS GTG BC FIRST EXAM IS TOMORROW AND FREAKING OUT HIGHKEY BUT FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT ANYTIME BC I LUV TALKING TO YOU BYE MWAHG

It was all going fine until…


BRO WHAT WAS THAT LAST QUESTION MAN I SACRIFICED THE TIME I KEPT ASIDE TO CHECK MY ANSWERS AND USED IT INSTEAD TO JUST STARE AT THE 3 OVERLAPPING CIRCLES FOR LIKE 10 MINS AND I DIDN’T HAVE ONE CLUE HOW TO SOLVE IT AND I LITERALLY JUST WROTE THE AREA OF THE CIRCLE


NOW I KEEP SEEING SOLUTIONS OF IT AND PEOPLE LIKE DREW TRIANGLES IN THE CIRCLES WHAT AND I DONT UNDERSTAND OMG

I GUESS I COULD HAVE BEEN MORE CLEVER BECAUSE THE ADVANCE INFORMATION FOR THIS EXAM DID SAY ‘AREA OF SECTOR OF CIRCLE’ AND ALSO ‘EXACT TRIG VALUES’ (WHICH I PAINSTAKINGKY REVISED SO MUCH FOR ME NOT EVEN TO USE THEM) AND I DIDNT NEED TO YSE THEM IN ANY PREVIOUS QUESTIONS SO SURELY THEY HAD TI BE USED IN THIS ONE?

BUT HONESTKY WHEW THAT QUESTION MAN

I THINK IT WOUKD HAVE BEEN MORE FITTING IF THE WHOLE 1.5 HOURS WAS JUST FOR THAT ONE QUESTION

Okay I’m done with my capitalised rant. Other than that question, I think I did okay but some questions I did screw up, namely the vector ratio thingy where I somehow got a negative ratio (?!) and also the proportion one (I really can’t do fractional indices omg).

In retrospect, that was a really nice question - problem solving questions like that are always so exciting and mind blowing. Like I’d never thought that using trig to find the area of a some bit of a circle was a thing! I want to try it again when I calm down a bit lol

Overall, meh week of exams. I definitely need to work harder though - there are some big ones coming up and I really want to do well in those. Can’t wait to get the rest over and done with tbh.

i'm so glad exams have been going okay for you so far!!!!! <3 you're doing amazing and I'm so proud of us for having officially completed the first two weeks of GCSEs. wow......

I'm surprised you found german okay???? you do AQA right? IT SUCKED. IT WAS ACTUALLY CATASTROPHIC????????????? i barely understood anything, and I cannot imagine my grade being good lol. i mean, at least I've got writing to redeem myself on, but GOD I came out of that exam and started laughing to myself because it was that bad << smiling through the pain

I'm surprised I didn't get more upset about it considering its an ACTUAL GCSE???? but I guess I'm like "whatever, at least it's done xx"

sorry to hear abt the English lang exam I'm sure you did okay! don't be too hard on yourself.

and with question 5, don't fret it!!! honestly, sometimes a year-1-diary-type story gets you marks lol. remember, we aren't writing to be *good* - we're writing for an exam, and to get marks. it's okay if it wasn't perfect, as long as you through in some jazzy words and language devices here and there.

AND SAM,E SAME ASAME SMAME OMG MATHS WAS WHAT ----GHCSHGJCBNJHEC JHKDS SAMN CDHJ CD THE LAST QUESTION...... I GOT THE AREA OF THE CIRCLE AND CALLED IT A DAYYYYY LOL.

the rest of the paper was okay, but that typical thing happened where you leave the exam and start realsiign you got more wrong than you though hahahahahahahahahah yeah not fun

anyways, off to revise a bit so will speak later but good luck with your revision bae <3333

AND MAKE SURE YOU'RE TAKING BREAKS AND GETTING REST AND DRINKING WATER XXX
