My friend's getting one, not for her result in particular though. She got a C in Maths, which she was thrilled with as she kept failing in her mocks.
Teacher's disappointment round 2 yesterday. Now he's decided I could resit and come out with an A without doing much revision :rolleyes:
well done :) they arent crapQuote:

im sure youll do fine, with a C you would probably get in i would think. are doing cw for alevel or the written practical paper?
We do both, coursework and an exam in the same unit
so im guessing the exam youre doing is the synopsis paper? we didnt do cw so we did 2 exams for that unit, one which was on a practical experiment instead of the cw. as youre doing cw that should hopefully help higher your grade :)Quote:

Good luck :D
My first exam isnt till friday
Had a Sociology Unit 1 exam yesterday, General Studies tomrrow and ICT Unit 2 on Friday! :)
how did it go?
My first exam English langauge resit, im resitting a B, is on friday morning
I only started revsing this morning but I can only revise for half the paper AND I find the stuff easy to remember
I had Psychology Unit 2 this afternoon. Business on Monday then English on Wednesday. I hate them all being crammed in, I think I focused too much on Psychology. I have like 2 weeks after English until Economics.
How did it go Abbie? I'm resitting a B in January I think; didn't want to do it in June as it is at exactly the same time as the Unit 2 so I would've had the whole AS back to back which I didn't fancy.
I loved it!!!
:lol: lol I know that sounds really odd to say but it was good. Text Analysis was good, I did the paragrahs in order that my teacher sugested. Hes an examiner so his advice is always good.
The the esssay on language and representation was the best. It was quite broad in a way even though it had a focus but it was the best question I could have got. I just hope I got an A otherwise there would have been no point in me doing the exam!
good luck to everyone :)
Good luck to everone sitting their exams over the next few weeks.
2 down 2 to go. 12 mark question on Interest Rates in Business... Economics saved me! We've covered them in Economics but not in Business.
you only have 4 exams??
In total I have 10
A2 finals are a killer. I did more resits than A2 summer modules. Shouldn't have bothered, I failed anyway :lol:
Good luck to you all. Don't stress too much afterwards, there's nothing you can do about it.
Yeah. It's because most A Levels are now only 2 units in each year. I'm not resitting the B I got in Economics yet because I could make up the marks on this one anyway and it clashed with Unit 2. English is 1 unit coursework and Business is 3 units with 2 courseworks. Psychology I got an A for in Jan so only had the Unit 2 to do (thank god, there is too much on that unit as it is!)Quote:

Drama practical on thursday, can't wait for it to be done and over!!!
hey Layne how are you finding the Unit 6 stuff?
I have decided to prioritize, history sources paper and pre release science paper are going out of the window until a few days before the exam! I know thats not what your meant to do but the pre release you can't really revise for its more general knowledge and depends on the questions on the day and the sources paper is pretty basic..I didn't revise for that at all last year. This year I have actually looked at the material a bit.
Throwing myself into revising for physics paper and the essay bit for history because those are the ones I really need to revise for!
Good luck everyone. :)
thats what i used to do, only revised the things properly that i really needed to and just looked over the restQuote:

One more left :D And that's not for 2 weeks. I went to see one of the Economics teachers when I got out of my English exam today and got him to email the powerpoint he was meant to have emailed us before. He told me to take a break for today. So I won't argue I don't think haha.
I hate the fact none of my exams have happened yet ... ii want them over!! Haha!!
Abbie - i know what you mean about Trojan women its so .... meh! I deffo need to major annotate it up for the exam, ive already page marked the different units and the major points :D
It seems like the A2's are starting late, when do you finish? Do you get annotations in the drama exam then?
My friend had her first exam today and her Music and Physics clash tomorrow. I've found 3 in the last 6 days too much.
My first A Level exam is on the 8th of June, and my last one is on the 18th. I've started revising Paradise Lost over the past few days, as that's my first exam - it's all good :D
Good luck everyone :)
A2 exams usually start a couple of weeks after AS start.
Pleased to hear your exams are going ok so far. Good luck for those that haven't started and those with a few left to go.
Celebrate in style after your last exam :thumbsup:
