been out of re lessons all last week and only today does my teacher say we have a re mock on thursday...
and i dont know anything re-ish i need for it ... :eek: :rolleyes:
I've handed in all my coursework now, so it's just GCSE exams now, with my first one being in 3 weeks!
:eek: I didn't think they were until May/June. I wish Science and Maths were on the same board. We have a Maths module a week Thusday, then, 4 days later, Science modules. I've had to concentrate on Media coursework over half term along with Frankenstein, so I can't be bothered. My Media teacher said today that he's going to pressure us more than he should for a yrae 10 class, and I'm sat there thinking, 'Like you haven't done that already!'Quote:

All I have to do now is my tech coursework, which is driving me crazy
We were told to go on kangaroo maths which you don't have to have a password for, and there's mymaths which is a subscription service and it can get annoying.Quote:

Thanks, I'll have a look on Kangaroo Maths, my school has a subscription to Mymaths I think.Quote:

Join the club... my biology teacher has skipped pages and hasn't finished teaching the module, so my chemistry teacher has to teach us some of it. Which modules are you doing?
er... its 1A Chemistary, Biology & Physics - the double award.Quote:

my school only does the single and double award and its the bottom sets that are going the single, and im near the middle.Quote:

We did a mock thing in RE but we only had to do 1 cycle of questions and in a whole exam you have 3. I didn't even finish what I was writing as it is hard to get it all done in the time, but for some strange reason I got full marks.
In our Re exam we have 5 sections to answer, I have no idea how I will remember all the stuff.
Same here, theres way too many things to remember. I'm dreading my mock next week.Quote:

RE is the easiest subject to pass. Its not even about religions mostly, but more about morality. You can make most of it up. I didn't revise it at all (Didn't even glance at anything), and i got a B.
Rule to remember: If you have to go against anything, say the Catholics are against it. Cause 9 times out of 10, they are. e.g. Abortion, Sex before Marriage, Divorce, Cohabitation, remarriage etc etc. Say that everytime, and you'll pass it no problem :p
I didn't finish the paper and I got a B. I completly left the last question cos I got bored with it. So I reckon the marking is pretty lenient, although the grade boundaries vary year to year.Quote:

You can also write in bullet points which is easier because you can see how many points you have.
It depends what part you are doing though, cause in my school we are doing mark's gospel and different topics eg. conflict and argument on it for year 10, then all the abortion, sex before mariage in year 11 - which does seem easier than what we are doing now.Quote:

We did a short course for a year covering Christian topics - abortion, euthanasia, marriage, sex before marriage and something else. Memorise the basic facts, many of which we knew already, and the rest was easy.Quote:

R.E short course, you can get away with common sense with just a few simple facts thrown in. I didnt turn up to more than 5 lessons over 2 years and came out with an A
I've got my GCSE exam timetable now and have 17 exams to sit in total.
Ive had my exam timetablefor ages but I still havent counted the exams and stuff, maybe I should do that today
I have a maths module on Thursday and 2 science ones on Monday. Not looking forward to more than usual as I am ill, so I'm worried I'll get a B and then not be allowed to resit, because they choose your resits now. Must remember to read the questions properly - I didn't on about 4 in my mock and now my teacher probably thinks I am a total wally lol
Whats wrong with a B???? :ninja: :confused:Quote:

I suppose I should check that out.. :o
I'm glad it is on that date, though, because last year (well, graphic design, anyway) it was on the 6th June, which is not only THREE days after my birthday, but it was (and would be this year) just after my hols. It is a bit depressing to know that you've got an exam as soon as you get back. I had to take revision with me on holiday! Who wants to revise while they're on holiday?! :eek:
At my school, the GCSE one is on the 25th of May. That might help you a bit.Quote:

A B is a very good grade Kim! You should be happy if you get that! No need to resit it if you ask me as you would just be putting more stress on yourself when you would have other exams to think about. :)Quote:

ahhhhhhh im starting to freak out about exmas now!!!!!
Don't worry Abbie, chill..:) Have you had your GCSE drama exam yet by the way? I have mine in just under 3 weeks now..Quote:

You can also apply for extended time or a break halfway through.Quote:

I know this is probably no use as your exam was on Monday but it might be useful for future reference.
I had a 3 mark question in my higher science paper, "Why are some people opposed to the morning after pill?" What the hell has that got to do with science? What a stupid question. I had another one on rabbits. Can't remember what it was but we all came out saying how ridiculous it was, nobody knew what it was on about.
So Kim how did the maths exam go?
I found out today that my Science module exam and Geography DME results are in, i hope i did ok! I haven't gone to find out what my results are yet!
Aww , Im sure you'll have done great Dave
It was totally easy thanks, Abbie. If it didn't have higher paper written on it, with the exception of 2 questions that I think you definitely wouldn't find on foundation, I would have thought that it was the foundation.
I get those rests as a result of my disability, but I don't think I'm ever getting extra time, which I'm not happy about. I'm glad the cold didn't make me feel as bad as I did on Monday especially, as I certainly wouldn't be happy if I was only able to get what I am predicted from my CAT's.
The DME's at my school are in, too. This girl was walking down the corridor cursing as she failed hers and believes that it is because the teacher forced her to sit the higher paper.
Well thats good, glad you thought it was easy :D
