Luckily textiles first (music and food allowed in this exams yay)
Then RE.

I'm most nervous about maths. because I only scraped a C by 4 marks in the mocks!

I should be more nervous really....:o

Sounds fun... Are you doing practical?
I dropped textiles, we had 3 teachers over 2 years and none of them were any good. 2 had breakdowns (no kidding) and the other one sat looking out of the window all afternoon trying to catch glimpses of another teacher. Needless to say most our the class failed.

Sam-Elle

Yeah it's alright, just a bit boring sitting in the same room for the whole day....

We kind of had the same thing in textiles, except only one teacher left. With 2 weeks notice. But she wouldn't tell us why...which was quite wierd! :hmm:

In year 9 in maths we actually had 4 different teachers who had breakdowns. Maybe that's why I'm only doing intermediate :p

I'm making my school sound really bad...it's alright Lol :p

and I had a wonky desk with scooch stuck in my head :rolleyes: how was I ment to do good. Oh well...

Layne
16-05-2007, 18:38
Oh we had our very last science module test today, but i had to resit one because i'd done badly last time, but they were taking forvever about it,we've done like 4 in 2 lessons once, we did 2 in about 1 and 1/2 lessons today :eek: we were all proper peed off as it was our last day and we had activities to go to etc.
But i started having this major laughing fit in the middle of the exam, i don't know how i actually managed to complete it!

Abbie
16-05-2007, 19:22

Chloe-Elise
16-05-2007, 20:07
Same here, I'm so nervous now. I've got RE which isn't too bad, I've already done 50% and I was happy with that mark, so hopefully it will be ok. More nervous about English Lit next week though...Good luck everyone :)

RE tomorow. I hope all the last minute cramming I've done over the last 2 hours work! :ninja:

Abigail
16-05-2007, 22:46
RE is probably one of the easiest exams you'll ever do. I made most of it up and got a B. Just remembr Catholics are opposed to most things - contraception, abortion, morning after pill, no sex before marriage. C of E are more open minded.

I never actually got to sit my textiles gcse for various reasons. I did start the practical coursework. We never seemed to do much work of anything. We made pan holders for a few months (nope, we didn't know what they were either).

Abbie
17-05-2007, 14:33
How did everyones RE exam go?
I thought might quite well really :)

StarsOfCCTV
17-05-2007, 14:41
Everyone found it a bit hard to think of loads of reasons for the questions..some of them were a bit pointless - 2 pages on singing...?

Overall ok...the next exam will probably be easier hopefully :)

Abbie
17-05-2007, 14:44
singing???????
what exam board are you on?

StarsOfCCTV
17-05-2007, 14:46
AQA..It was on how singing is important in worship :hmm:

Oh right well my exam board is Edexcel

.:SpIcYsPy:.
17-05-2007, 16:40
I think my first half of the 50% RS(RE) exam went well. I felt it was hard but for RS mock I also thought the same and got a B! I would be happy with a B for the acutal RS exam..

We got our results from our Science mock yesterday. I got a U.. and I'm doing higher paper which can't be changed.. 23 other people in my class got a U.. Well over 50% in our year got a U.. Only about 10 people got a A*(1 person) to a B.. Few got an C and a D..

I saw my head of year yesterday and started having a go at him.. Didn't mean to but I got angry over the fact that I have a good chance of failing because of the stupid dancing Science teacher I got.. He didn't get angry at me because he knew I was right and all the Science teachers were crap.. I told him that myself and he didn't really know what to say so stood there with a lost expression on his face listening to me shout at him.. Felt a bit bad after but the feeling is going because no one seems to care about Science anymore because they are not providing us with the knowledge and answers for Science. Two classes are getting extra revision classes after school and during lunch yet other classes are not allowed to attend.. Nearly 90% want the extra help because it's the real thing and need it but no one is willing to help us. We got 50% of our first GCSE next Monday and the other 50% Thursday after we come back from half-term.

I have no idea what I'm going to do but over the weekend and tomorrow and today I am going to try and revise Modules 1 like MAD! Thankfully we have a week off for half term so I can take Module 2 a bit easier..

Kim
17-05-2007, 17:25
We have Science in that form next year. We've done 75% of the course for this year, and the other 25% is 2 Physics modules on June 25th.

I had an RE exam on Monday, just some questions out of an exam paper. We didn't have any warning and our books were at school anyway, so we couldn't revise. I was gobsmacked to find I got A*. I was making up some parts of it.

Have Business coursework to do, but I don't have a program I need on here, and my dad broke the laptop.

My school does OCR RE, and they had their Christianity paper today.

Chloe-Elise
17-05-2007, 20:17
Thought RE went quite well, got a bit stuck on a few of them though. I'm with Edexcel I think. Was loads easier than last years though.

anyone else on here that has done or doing a gospel paper?

You're lucky...the AQA exam for RE is hard!


I agree, i did the AQA short course RE exam, and it was hard. The whole of the first section we hadn't learnt/been taught! And there was an 8 mark question in the last section i didn't know so i blagged it :lol:
Citizenship this afternoon again how fun :rolleyes: You can't even revise for it!

DaVeyWaVey
21-05-2007, 19:24
I've got my English Literature and ICT Paper 1 exams tomorrow! I'm quite nervous, but i've revised quite hard. I'm more worried about English compared to ICT, i've struggled to learn quotes for it, but hopefully, tomorrow i'll be able to remember some of them somehow. I just hope the 20 mark questions that come up, i actually know what to write for it.

Good luck to everyone else doing English Lit and ICT tomorrow, i'm guessing you have those exams tomorrow too?

StarsOfCCTV
21-05-2007, 20:51
I have english lit...although I havn't really revised for it..I thought they gave you an anthology and a book? (or is that just my exam board...)

Also, we did modules for ICT so we don't actually have an exam now which is good. :p

Abbie
21-05-2007, 22:17
No im the same they give you a new anthology, im just reading through more notes now

Layne
22-05-2007, 12:23
All done now, well for 1 & 1/2 weeks.
English lit this morning went okay, the poems one was great, because the option they gave was the two poems i liked and revised for!
The 1984 bit, was okay, but the questions were a bit rubbish tbh, but i did the extract one and blagged it :lol:!

Abbie
22-05-2007, 13:26
Yeh I thought Eng lit was okay, which poetry question did you do?

Layne
22-05-2007, 15:36
the first one, with 'In Flanders Field' and 'The Falling Leaves', i liked that because i wanted those poems :p

DaVeyWaVey
22-05-2007, 17:05
My English Lit and ICT exams went actually ok today. I had to do two extract questions for Of Mice and Men and Blood Brothers which was worth 10 marks each and then answer 2 essay questions on both texts and the essay questions were worth 20 marks each, and then i had an unseen poem at the end of the exam worth 10 marks. But i actually did ok on my English Lit, considering it was a closed book exam. I remembered more quotes than I thought i did, and overall, i think i did ok on that exam.

The ICT exam was ok, but there were a few questions i didn't know and guessed, but the rest of it was alright. So i don't want to be too overconfident but i think my ICT and English Lit exams both went ok. :D

Layne
22-05-2007, 18:40
My god i love Of mice and men,they removed that from our exam board a couple of years ago, so we couldn't do it, i wish we could have though, 1984 is a pile of ****.

Chloe-Elise
22-05-2007, 18:42
Hope everyone's exams today went well :) I had English Lit aswell, was OK, was a bit rushed though. No more exams until after half term for me now :D

StarsOfCCTV
22-05-2007, 19:07
Same..I spent an hour and a bit on the of Mice and Men question (which was totally stupid) I started comparing the characters to wind and herons...stupid extract :rotfl:

Poems was easier to bluff :D

Layne, what is 1984? I have actually never heard of it :hmm: Lol :D

Abigail
22-05-2007, 20:13
Layne, what is 1984? I have actually never heard of it :hmm: Lol :D

It's written by George Orwell and it presents an imaginary future where a totalitarian state controls every aspect of life, even people's thoughts. In the news in the past few days there was a coper who said that our country was becoming "Orwellian" in that everything that we do is controlled or watched by the government, which is exactly what Orwell predicted.

I'm more nervous about maths :ninja: It depends on the exam paper..

I find geography easier because there's stuff like multiple choice whereas in maths you're either right or wrong :o

Why are all the exams concentrated in two weeks?! Not even going to see the light of day for revising.....There better be a good party somewhere when these are over :p :D

Abbie

Kim
03-06-2007, 23:19
I have revised some Physics and Maths today. I fell asleep whilst revising Physics twice. Forced myself to go through all of it once, then tried some parts again, but I got bored in less than 2 pages. I could sit and revise any other type of Science for ages. Really not understanding some parts of the Maths, and I'm getting really down about it again; I hate that teacher, I don't feel as if I can ask for help.

04-06-2007, 17:36

I found the geography really easy and I wrote so much for every question, even the 4 mark questions I worte like an essay, i think I got a little carried away lol, and then there was maths, that I have mixed views on cos it seemed ok but there were a few dodgey questions in and there was 2 I didnt answer, well I tired but got no where, i know a few people will missed loads out

Chloe-Elise
04-06-2007, 18:58

Science is Edexcel, we are with different exam boards for different subjects and we seem to be different to like everyone else.

And no Biology was okay, i guess! But i like guessed neary all of my pyshics paper and some of my chemistry one.

English tomorrow - short stories .... meh.

Abbie
06-06-2007, 18:36
Im on AQA for a lot of things lol but not all
Anyway AQA modular science iss the course that I do but these ones are the big exams that are not muliple choice, It was okay today and at least I know whats on the exam, well topics anyway, there was a few dodgey questions but I think it was okay
Yeh Im not looking forward to english either, the multi-cultural poetry and then its inform, explain or describe.

Chloe-Elise

Same here, I'm AQA for Science. Do you do Single or Double?

07-06-2007, 16:56
Last english paper today :) Went okay, i wrote about the two stories i wanted to write about and the other tasks seemed pretty good, obviously i added my own unique sarcastic twang to it :p

Only 10 more exams left...
French and History tomorrow.

Katy
07-06-2007, 17:20
thats double Abbie, the one my sister does. I dod Edexcel and then the teachers didnt like teaching it so they changed to AQA, it would be so much easier, if everything was made by the same one.

I had French listening today too, and I found it pretty easy too. I did the Foundation paper, what paper did you do?

I also had French Reading but I did Higher for that - I found it quite hard, but i think I may have possibly done ok..i will just have to wait and see!

And I have my reading paper next friday

Abbie
08-06-2007, 16:28
The fire bell went off!!!
So did you have to leave the exam or anything?

Layne
08-06-2007, 16:33
No, because people at our school find it funny to set off fire bells, so if it goes off in an exam, then we stay there and a teacher goes to check if its real or not, if it ain't we stay were we are.

Abi
08-06-2007, 16:37
Some stupid year 10 did that during my AS English exam, Layne. We all knew it was fake, it always is, so we just carried on working. They gave us 10 minutes extra because of it. Not really the point though, its pretty pathetic to do it in any exam, let alone A Levels and GCSEs.

Kim
08-06-2007, 16:47
People like to do that at my school, as well. Only they would get us all out. In one exam, the inviglators let them carry on, because they knew it would be fake, especially as the new fire alarms don't even have the glass panel on. So the site manager found out and had a go at the person who first said everyone could stay there, and now we have to go outside.

I just hope it doesn't happen to me. Even if you do stay in there, it must put you off.

Got the Literature oral back today, I got an A :eek: Also was told about one of my Media coursework pieces, which was 2 marks off of full marks :eek:

Yeah, people do that at my school aswell. 3 in one afternoon once, must be a some sort of record.
Glad all your French went well today :) I had History, was OK, easier than I thought it was going to be, bit rushed for time though. Only 3 left :D

it seems everyones finishing there exams, A2s have quite a while. All feel sorry for me. Exam on my 18th Birthday.

We had a german listening and some plank legged it down the corridor screaming it was pretty funny seeing how much commotion he caused the teachers were going bananas.
We also had to spend 4 hours on the tennis courts and playing fields during the GCSE period when i was in year 9 due to someone who didnt want to sit there exam phoning up and saying there was a bomb in school. It was like something out of the bill. There plan didnt work, they all moved into the school next door and had to sit it there, while we had a mass football match on the field. It was great,

di marco
13-06-2007, 20:41
And then had history this afternoon, went okay, apart from the fire bell being set off :angry: And i kind of rushed the last question but yeh was okay :)


No, because people at our school find it funny to set off fire bells, so if it goes off in an exam, then we stay there and a teacher goes to check if its real or not, if it ain't we stay were we are.

lucky for you you didnt have to go outside but i bet it must have been distracting! people always used to set the fire alarms off in my school and when i was in about year 8 it was set off in an exam, i remember all the people sitting the exam standing on the field really apart from each other lol!

I get my AS results this Thursday. I'm so worried, as my target grades are so high (three Bs). I completely failed my Jan exams (one E and two Us) so I'm really scared that I've failed this time.

I shouldn't worry much about GCSEs. I missed most of year 11 and didn't revise much and I still got top grades (I have no idea how I managed that, wish it would work for AS).

Good luck everyone and remember, it's not the end of the world if you don't get what you hoped for. As long as you know you did your best in the exams then nobody can ask anymore of you.

Good luck Jelly Belly - can't you resit your AS anyway if you don't do as well as expected?

I can resit AS either one module in a subject which wouldn't be too bad or the whole course which means that I won't be able to do the A2 in September. I know I'm going to get a low grade in Business because I got an E in Jan and didn't resit it in June. And I'll be shocked if I get anything above a D in
Biology, I just don't understand any of it.

Thank-you :)

1. I got the exact same grades in my mocks and in my real GCSEs. I got a C in Maths.

2. I studied by looking at my exam timetable and revising a week before my exams (about 1-3 hours a day leading up too it)..and I revised by making notes and looking through exercise books, looking through past papers. (rereading my set texts for English). I rarely used any revision guides.

...and no to the last 2 questions.

1) I got mainly B's in my mocks, if i remember correctly. I got DD in science, because i failed the Physics part. And i got a C in maths. In the real thing, i got 6 As and 5 Bs (BB in science, A in Maths). So i did a lot better in my real thing.

2) I got my grades by working hard in lessons towards the end of the year, and asking lots of questions. I barely revised at home.

3) No, its too expensive for what you get. Not worth it.

4) No

1) I got like just a C in my mocks and I mean barely a C and then I got an A in the real thing
2) I just went over and over the stuff and really paid attention in class :p I did a lot of past papers and at home when through my revsion guides and remember the key points on certain methods and subjects. In the exam if there was a question when I wasnt sure I just tried anything I could think of that was realvent to try and work it out.
3) No
4) Not really but when we were on study leave I did go to the extra maths classes where we did past papers and then before the scond paper we had a class as we could work out what would appear on the paper

1) erm got A* for maths in both and i think i got pretty much the same in my mocks as i did in the real things (apart from for RE, which went up from a D to an A!) in the real thing i got 2 A*s, 7 As and 3 Bs and got roughly As and Bs in my mocks i think
2) didnt really study much, did the past papers and exercises in class, and started revising for the real thing a day or 2 before if that!
3) No
4) Only once for statistics cos that was an extra thing and we hadnt learnt it in class, only stayed for about 10mins though!

although saying this, its different for everyone. i might have done better if id actually revised properly and went to extra classes but i just couldnt be bothered at the time! also remember that your final grade is made up of your cw marks as well as your exams so your grades will probably differ from those you got for your mocks cos of this

Abigail
06-01-2008, 18:04
After you have done your GCSEs and moved on to A levels nobody asks you what grades you got at GCSE. As long as you got at least a C in English and Maths nobody is bothered about the rest. Just make sure that you pass in English and Maths and don't stress too much.

I only have five GCSEs. I missed the whole of year 11 and did no revision at all and got 2 As and 3 Bs. Nobody has ever asked me about them since I started my A levels.

that isnt strictly true. to get my place at uni, i had to have 5 gcse at grade A - C, 3 of those had to be english, maths and science. also (i think i said this in another thread) some of the top unis, especially oxbridge, will look at your gcse and they will be looking for all As at least. and youd normally put your gcse on your CV so although employers will look at your other qualifications first (ie. your degree and/or alevels) they will still know what your gcse were so obviously the better the grades the better. so yes if you do really badly in your gcse its not the end of the world but obviously its best to work hard and get good grades

Physics, which is in the afternoon. I have my third and final History paper on that day in the morning. Not looking forward to that if no one can get me any transport in between. I hate Physics too.

My prom is on the 9th July - they usually do it on the last week of June, roughly a week after the last GCSE exam but they couldn't book the place for that. It's going to be well weird having a prom on a Wednesday.

*Sighs*.. RE/RS exam... I felt I could have done better but it's half of it is your opinions and backing up what you belief and opinions and whatever so I think it went okay'ish but because it's the long'ish essay type questions I don't think I did to well.
I did 50% of it last year and did my other 50% today.. Last year I got a B so I hope I can least match that or do better..

i dont think it matters, they probably wont refuse to mark it, i think its just in case the sheets become unattached from the answer paper they can easily match them back up, i dont know for certain but i wouldnt worry about it though

Don't worry about it; this boy on my bus did about an hour's revision for History and got a C. If you have a sources paper it's pretty easy to blag. It's surprising how much the sources remind you of too.

Yep, don't forget your calculator either. If it's anything like my maths GCSE you'll finish it in 20 mins.

Good luck, glad they've been ok so far. Do your best, don't stress, exams aren't the end of the world.

Are you going to do A levels after?

Kim
15-05-2009, 21:07
Yeah, I think Maths is actually the only subject they give too much time for. I finished 10-15 minutes early and I never usually have time to check anything and sometimes don't even finish.

No luckily my school is quite near.

yeah, i'm doing a level human biology, psychology, socialology + ict :D

Abigail

Good luck with A level biology :p If you do Edexcel there's a lot of course content. Keep on top of it or you'll not understand some of the later modules and A2 work. I passed it at AS but failed at A2. I hated it.

I have noooo idea which exam board it's gonna be with yet, hope fully not that one ha. I get on really well with my biology teacher at school and she's said if there's any times that I can't get to see my teacher when i'm doing at college i.e we're on holiday but school is still open then I can go see her anytime I want which i'm extremely grateful for! Cos she's done a levels and a degree in it :D.

Plus I really enjoy doing biology and i find that in the lessons I love I do get good grades, but maybe it'll be different at college :/ I hope not!

Abigail

Biology at GCSE is completely different to at A level :D I'm not trying to put you off, just giving you a heads up that it's not easy.

Abbie
16-05-2009, 13:15
Yep I do it and its hard you need to work a lot

No, i'm glad you have told me! At least it gives me some idea of what to expect. I got a letter through this morning about a new student day on June 25th but i've just realised that I can't go because it's the same day as prom
:( and I need all day cos i've got appointments booked and that. Plus on the letter it has what subjects i've chosen and it says if they are wrong or you have changed your mind to cross them out and write what you actually want to do and it says:

AS Human Biology
AS Biology
AS Applied ICT
AS Psychology

I was like :O noooooo not both biologies lmao. would be pointless anyway so i dunno how they've got mixed up. and i've changed the applied ICT cos i did actually put just ICT on my application and at my interview she wrote applied ICT for some reason :S

Abbie
17-05-2009, 10:14
Thats odd that they do both biologys, my college only does the one

Kim
17-05-2009, 11:22
Some schools/colleges only do Applied courses in some subjects. The ICT is applied at my school, and I do Applied Business because they don't do normal business. Other than having crazy amounts of coursework there's not that big a difference.

Hollie-x
17-05-2009, 11:44
Ooo, i'm glad N+CC do both, I absolutely hate all the parts about plants and that in biology; one word - BORING. well for me anyway lol.

Ahh i've just checked in the college prospectus and they do both, it says that the applied ICT is more on the media side and graphics and that which I do have an interest in but i'd rather do just ICT.

Spending all day today revising for our first RE exam which is tomorrow; got an email off my RE teacher with some stuff she was sending me to revise from and i'm glad she did because i've just read it and didn't know half of it before. We've had loads of disruptions with our lessons since year ten, our proper teacher Mrs Thompson went on maternity leave last March and only came back this march, then the teacher we had this year instead of Mrs Thompson got pregnant but she went into early labour and the baby died so she's had loads of time off, so through no fault of anybodies we've missed quite a lot of stuff; thank god for study leave is all I can say, we're going in on the days we would normally be timetabled for that lesson so we can get back on track! And with being at a Catholic school we he have to have 3 hours of RE a week so we've got a lot to do!

Abigail
17-05-2009, 11:49
I did the one with plants *falls asleep* Transpiration, phloem, xylem, parenchyma, companion cells... couldn't have been more boring.

The first module on Edexcel is cells. Right down to micro organelles, ATP synthesis, ADP and loads of other stuff that I never understood :p

It's not an easy subject.

Hollie-x
17-05-2009, 11:51
Ohh sounds fun lmao.

Ahh i'm into the cells part :D is the ATP in that something-triphosphate? about energy. i remember doing something about that with the equations in anaerobic and aerobic respiration and that

Abbie
17-05-2009, 11:51
Yeah I did the same at Abigail

Im resitting that first module on cells, I dont mind some of it :)

Abigail
17-05-2009, 11:54
Adenosine tri phosphate. It's an amino acid with three phosphate molecules (I think, don't quote me on it :p).

Have a look at the modules (http://www.s-cool.co.uk/alevel/biology.html) for all the exam boards.

Hollie-x
17-05-2009, 11:59
That's the one lol I never ever can remember the first word lmao. They were the first things we did this year, but obviously not in as much detail as you will have done lol.

Ahh thanks for that link :D

i always found french was a subject they gave way too much time for, i always finished in about half the time!

glad your drama exam went well hollie and good luck with the rest :) and like abbie and abigail have said be prepared to work hard in alevel biology it is so difficult and such a huge step up from gcse

RE exam today was fair easy :D although went to see my RE teacher at the end of the day and she said it was the hardest one they'd had in 8 years - so I then thought I might have done it wrong, but I told her most of my answers and they were right! phew. Luckily all the stuff she was emailing me with yesterday wasn't on it and she came over to me twice during the exam and asked how if I was okay which I thought was ded sweet and also possibly not allowed lmao.

Maths - i'm doing foundation anyways which really winds me up seeing as I was in set one last year - but I found that eeeeeeeasy. started at 1:35 and finished at 5 past one - with nearly an hour left.

English Lit + ICT tomorrow ):

19-05-2009, 16:18
ooooops. lmao yeah I did ha.

English lit today was okayy, although our teacher went it's time you moved onto the poems now - i hadn't even compared the second story! So I had to rush through that. Then ICT this afternoon was easy, I finished with an hour to spare so I was just sat there laughing because we got told yesterday that the teachers all play a game with the invidulators and that where they say a question to each other eg, who has the best hair, who is most like to.... and then they have to go and stand next to that person! So I just laughed today whenever someone stood next to someone for ages.

Thank god I have no exams left this week!
I am so tired, I fell asleep in the bath last night! And I got told by my RE teacher today that I look ded tired and I told her I'd fallen asleep in the bath and she laughed at me! Then told me it was dangerous ha.

Kim
20-05-2009, 17:29
Did you have an exam today then?

Hollie-x
20-05-2009, 17:32
Yep, citizenship; it's so easy. Complete joke. We have one lesson a week, it's short course so only half a GCSE and we learn nothing. Our teacher was walking past me and a friend when we were walking back through school and she goes; how was the exam? I went it was okay... no thanks to you!
She can't control a class for toffee that one, I was in a class next to hers today revising by myself waiting for a friend to come out of the spanish exam and they were so noisy and shew as just shouting over them but nothing happened. It does my head in.

we had to do citizenship for half a year in yr9. our teacher was a complete joke as well!

glad your exams are going ok :)

I think we get to choose between General Studies, Critical Thinking and Citizenship next year; maybe I should avoid Citizenship then!

Abigail
21-05-2009, 21:55
Critical thinking is really difficult.

di marco
22-05-2009, 14:58
i had to do general studies and got a B without going to any of the lessons as most of the papers are multiple choice so its pretty easy! my sis had to do critical thinking and she got a B as well although she did have to revise for it a bit. i think most places prefer critical thinking over general studies now though

Hollie-x
22-05-2009, 17:49
I hate it with a passion. There is no point in having lessons on it, well I think anyways, because for the most part it's about current afairs and that; what's going on in the news etc.

Went in today for some revision and yet again ended up chasing two of our science teachers around the department firing the foam bullets at each other. I'm gonna miss them lot so much!
