The fish Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Yes folks, it's that time of year again. It's time to panic. For those of you doing AS's (or retakes of AS's, like me), exams start tomorrow, I believe. For everyone else, A levels start on, as far as I am aware, on the 21st. Those of you already post A-level are finishing exam season this week, you lucky, lucky devils... Personally, my first exam is a geography retake on Wednesday afternoon and has anyone else got a whore of a week sometime? For me, it's a mechanics paper, and geography synoptic paper, and a physics synoptic on 3 consecutive days. Joy! So, do as you lovely people usually do around now and around January, and panic about exams! Oh, and I have a suggestion: if you need assistance on a particular area of a subject, yell, and anyone willing to help should add you on MSN and help via that, to keep this thread relatively clutter free...

Guest Stefkov Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 All of my exams are in June. 5th, 13th and 17th. Only General Studies and Computing, so I'll start revising for Computing when I can be bothered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twozzok Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Well, got my Physics practical a week Wednesday in the morning, followed by Core 4 and D2 in the afternoon. Then Electrons and Photons retake the day after. Then just under a fortnight when I have my first English GCSE exam (fuck getting a D at GCSE originally) Then 2 days after that, got my two computing exams at the same time as my second English exam. Meaning I have to have my english in the morning, be supervised for a few hours, then have 2 computing exams. That's going to be a long day. Then some Unifying Concepts for physics and D1, and Nuclear and particle physics. This is going to be one fucking long exam season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I had my law exam today. Was hard, but not as hard as I was expecting it to be. My next and last one is next Tuesday which is Business Enterprise and should be really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strider Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 All my AS exams are over by the 3rd of June. I had a general studies exam today (Ok that doesn't really count) although i'm crap at it so i have most likely failed or got an E (as i did in January). My first major exam is this Thursday, Maths AS Core 2, DUN DUN DUUUUN! I've just been going over passed papers and as usual i manage to understand eveything alot more, the closer it gets. I'm aiming for a B which i think is fairly likely, in core 1 i managed 67/100 (3 off a B) so it's possible. [EDIT] Question: Do AS levels go towards UCAS? Like when i drop a subject, will that grade make a difference at Uni? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dyson Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 I have lolectronics AS on Friday. Don't care about it at all. Got a resit in under 2 weeks then a big break before my A2 exams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Paul Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 My exams won't be too bad. PE synoptic paper on the 5th June French reading/writing/listening on the 16th June English Lang (Texts from Different Times, Accents and Dialects, Lang Change) on the 17th June English Lang synoptic paper on the 19th June. Not too worried. PE and French should be pretty easy. Only thing is French is the morning after the Isle of Wight Festival. Hopefully the lack of sleep wont affect me! Most worried about the Lang synoptic paper. 2.5 hours, it's pretty nasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gaggle64 Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 For some reason I read this as "The Bi-Sexual Exam Thread". Anyways, I'm lucky enough to not have any exams, but have suddenly found myself surrounded by deadlines, some unexpected, like a buck trapped by wolves. Having to move back home right in the middle of them ain't the height of convenience either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You realise a lot of universities don't even bother accepting it as an A(s) level right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haver Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 2nd year exams in 3 weeks, reckon I'm on for a Desmond. That is to say, I might look at the books in a week or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it well, it's just what i write thats crap. Although i do have a Science/Maths one on Thursday. Lol, sounds well fun. Most of the sci paper was on global warming, renewable energy and all that, which was fine as that was practically all we did in GCSE geography... Snap on the biology one. Genetics unit and Heart/Plants unit? Yeah I believe so. Well I have both modules on the same day - took the first one in Jan but got a C so I'm retaking... Shouldn't be too bad this time though Wait, what!? You willingly retook General Studies? You realise a lot of universities don't even bother accepting it as an A(s) level right? Yep, and yep, no idea what i was thinking. I only retook one paper of the 3 though, as I got ABC and that averaged to a C, one mark off a B. I figured I may as well retake the C to push it up to a B... blah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calza Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 RE GCSE on Wednesday. Joy. lol mate, just wait til next year thats when things actually start to matter This week.

In 3 weeks time Computing, yeah this is gonna be a lol, for the prelim I got the best mark and I was finished first.
