Razz Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I thought I'd start the annual exams thread seeing as I had a Biology module today, which went surprisingly comfortably. Chem tomorrow, not worried to be honest. Anyone else had modules today, or up coming ones? How did they go?
Slaggis Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I've got my geography exams on monday which are worrying me. I've also got the biology exam that people have done today, but in june. Was it hard?
Strider Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Today i had Biology, business and maths exam. They went ok, not amazing. Thank god the 6 mark question in biology was something i knew. (Inhibitors)
Razz Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah biology was fine really. There was the odd question that was tricky, but none of the bitch questions that you find alot in past papers. There was nothing on tissue fluid though, which sort of annoyed me because I learnt that really well.
Supergrunch Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Well, I'm revising for collections next week, which are sort of like mock first year exams, but only on what we've covered so far. There's an awful lot of revision to do...
ipaul Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I'm pretty sure the course I'm doing dictates I don't do any exams untill May 2009 so there will be nothing from me in this thread. Just thought I'd put that out there =/ Good luck to anyone who is doing them though!
Supergrunch Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 What do you do at Uni then? Natural sciences, which at the moment means cell biology, evolution, chemistry and quantitative biology.
Chuck Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Just done C1 Maths *very hard* , Physics on Friday and Ict + General Studies Monday
Guest Stefkov Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I've got 2 resits. C2 I think resit in Computing. General Studies resit. If I can get a high grade in the computing one I can get my grade to a B maybe and then my General Studies could move up to a C.
Strider Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Just done C1 Maths *very hard* Ict + General Studies Monday Ohh yeh forgot to mention, i have ICT and general studies on monday too. How do you think you did on C1? (thats what i did aswell)
Chuck Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Very very very bad, everything I didnt want to be in. But most times i feel bad about exams I do alright. So....
The fish Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 C1 seems laughably easy to me now, but I was shitting myself this time last year. I have C3 and physical Geography, and three retakes in the form of human geography, electricity/thermal physics, and my physics practical/astrophysics. Oh, and, of course, best of luck to you all!
Razz Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Everyone said C1 was really hard. So glad I didn't do maths.
The fish Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Everyone said C1 was really hard. So glad I didn't do maths. C3 is regarded by most post-AS students as being the hardest, and I'm doing it on Friday. I'm almost worried that I feel confident. I never feel confident about exams!
Strider Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I didn't find C1 too bad, pretty much like the previous year papers. I just wrote anything for a few of the question to maybe get the working out marks. My maths teachers are crap and we pretty much had to learn it ourself. What helped me (Which may sound stupid) is Youtube.

I never feel confident about exams! I'd say C4 is harder - C3 is mostly just making sure that your calculus is good. Then again, I forget what was in C4...

Razz Posted January 9, 2008 Author Posted January 9, 2008 Really? Youtube? That's pretty cool. The only sort of help video I've seen on their is for origami (Not me, our japanese teacher made us....)
stuwii Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I'm doing GCSE mocks at the moment, German Exam tomorrow. Today I only had Geog, I Knew a lot and think I did well
conzer16 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Finished my exams before Christmas. I now have New Zealand to look forward to in about 30 days
Zell Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 C3 is regarded by most post-AS students as being the hardest, and I'm doing it on Friday. I'm almost worried that I feel confident. I never feel confident about exams! Since I'm taking C3 and C4 this Jan, C3 seems pretty darn easy to me. Once you grasp the trig, everything else is pretty simply. C4 though, not much to learn, but the questions are pretty tough. Not to put any of you C1 people down but the step from C1 to C2 is pretty substantial, you actually have to learn new stuff rather than regurgitate GCSE knowledge. I've got a Physics retake this Friday, I don't know how I did bad in Forces and Motion, but now that I'm well trained in Forces, Fields & Energy, M1 and M2 it should be a walk in the park. Can't say the same for F,F&E though, lots to learn and probably the hardest Physics module. I then have C3, C4 and M2, and my last exam is Chemistry (Chains, Rings and Spectroscopy), which I'm dreading so much. I hate organic chemistry, it's just learn learn learn, hardly any thinking about it.
Goron_3 Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 MY exams are: Physics (Forces and motion)- 11th. Biology (Foundation) - 15th English retake (Spies)-16th Chemistry (Chains, Rings and Spectroscopy)-29th Pretty confident for all of them bar Chemistry, though I have13 days to revise for that. Really should put more effort in during lessons though...guess it serves me right for talking to zell so much *sigh*
dan-likes-trees Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I also had biology AS module 1 today. It were alright, but not as easy as all everyone were saying after it... think i did alright though. Nout on pressures in the heart, which i completely never understood. And then i have 2 sodding general studies on monday and friday. Urg what a pointless AS.
