How do people get really high results in harder modules?

Well if you're exteremly ill for the exam, then you could get an exemptment from the exam and get a grade based on you're GCSE point score predicited grade.

Also, you could have asked for your paper back to see why they marked it a D. Like...get the photocopy version of your paper.
I got that for one Economics paper

Mm, although admittedly I remembered every point I wrote.

Also, i had doctors notes from my neurologist and GP, plus statements from me and my parents. Edexcel I think are probably nicer about such things, but supposedly OCR don't have such policies.

LOL - I had OCR for History GCSE

Didn't do too well on the c/w (E) - was sick often
but then came out with a B grade after the exam - how does that work lol.

Thanks goodness I have no OCR's anymore, all mine are Edexcel ^^

Applied for Uni? which ones?

Aha, nice. I remember when I did Geography for GCSE. Got A* in the coursework and decision making exercise but came out with a B overall haha. Must have done so badly in the exam, although.....i did answer most of the questions with (well drawn!) pictures...

Cambridge, Warwick, Bristol, Exeter and Manchester, where i've got an offer for AAB atm.

You? I'm thinking of writing to them about ongoing illness as all my tutor wrote was 'ongoing illness' which I think is a total understatement and evokes next to no sympathy whatsoever. The UCAS book said I should write to them anyhow, so I am considering it....

Lol...pictures..LOL I don't remember that in GCSE geography
Oxford
St. Andrews - MA Economics and Politics AAB
Warwick twice (i Picked two seperate subjects lol because I liked them both)
Edinburgh - ABB for MA EconMath

I guess I got all my offers (except oxford) because I sent off my application in early september - did Personal statement over the hols and my teachers ACTUALLY check thier mail to read it

:O what courses you got?

Also, check my sig and do my poll

As you go through the paper, check every answer you possibly can on a graphics calculator (assuming you have one) - integration, sums of series, graph sketches, partial fractions, solutions to trig equations etc.
My calculator saved me from making so many silly mistakes in modules (I'd probably have only got 100% in C1 if I didn't use it to check everything)

And obviously make sure you can immediately recall vital facts (like sin/cos/tan of 0/30/45/60/90 degrees (and what their equivalent angles in radians are))

My revision consists of going through the work the in the morning of the day before, doing past papers ALL DAY, then memorising the theory for 2-3 hours the night before. Furthermore, I found what works for me is making 3 copies of every past paper and doing each one over and over until you're getting 99/100%. And when checking each time, or if you're unsure of a question, go through it on the markscheme so you can see why you're going wrong or what you're meant to be doing and see if you can learn from your mistakes the next time.

95 in C2, so not 100, but safely an A.

Well done!

I swear graphical calculators aren't allowed though. ><;

What loser neg repped me for stating my marks?

Just to note, I didn't neg you lol

S'ok I'm assuming it was someone with around 8 gems anyways cos it took about 20-25 points off

They were on my exam board (OCR) except for C1; I always assumed it was the same for all boards.

yes Graphic calculators are allowed for c2 unless they allow you to properly differentiate, integrate....not even stupid ones like integration by parts etc..
On C2, you don't draw graphs from my experience
C3, 4, FP1-6, AEA...you wouldn't even dare bring a graphic calculator in lol.

Mine only did numerical integration; so I had to manually work out some limits if I wanted to check an indefinite integral.
Which exam board are you on, out of interest?
