Anyone started revising yet? I've done a bit; depression isn't helping. Have my exam timetable so I've had to start forcing myself to revise. Anyone else got their timetable? My first is the Christianity part of RE on 14th May and they finish for me on 11th June.
Ive not started revising yet, my 1st is on the 16th april which is my drama, and my last in on the 19th june which is graphics buts its also on the day of my prom lol, so im not too happy bout that but never mind
Awww at least it will make the day go quicker, cos my day went slow before the prom.
Cant believe its that time of year already, good luck to everyone
yh but i wanna get my hair and stuff done lol, its a late exam aswell, oh well never mind, not for yonks anyways
Awww is it an afternoon one?
Well you could get your hair and stuff done straight after, at least it will stay in better :)
yep its an aternoon one, i think by the time it finishes ill have about 3 - 4 hours lol, so should be plenty of time
whats your lat exam kim?
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.
Oh dear, tehy're just around the corner, just can't wait for them to be over really.
good luck to everyone doing gcses this year, im sure youll all do great! :)
Thanks Di M. How is everyone doing with them?
i dont think mine are going to bad but i think i have completely failed english lit which is not good lol but never mind how bout yours
Don't worry too much. English is a funny subject, as long as you have backed your answers up with good reasons/evidence you should do ok. A fair whack of it is opinion and your interpretation of poems etc.
im so glad that my year were the last year that could take annotated texts into the exam with us, otherwise id have failed so badly! im sure you did better than you think though leanne, good luck with the rest of them :)
I did something completely stupid in Maths :crying: :crying:
English and History tomorrow. Failed Biology so badly.

I agree with Kath. Keep positive! And if you don't get the results you hoped for, it really isn't the end of the world!
Had my mock RE & History today ;[ Have them all next week too!
They weren't as bad as I though TBH, but 2hours in the freezing cold sports hall isn't my idea of fun!
RE is great. The last part of each question you can basically say what you like as long as you can qualify it.
*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 got a B without completing the paper, it was pretty easy.
If you don't pass, don't worry. RE isn't as important as English (unless you want to a vicar).
I was shocked at RE as long as you remember your reasons and stuff its easy. I got a D in a mock and ended up getting an A in the real thing
i got an A in the real thing too, as long as you can blag your way though it you should be fine. i dont think anyone really bothers with re
No, I'm not too bothered about it tbh. Only thing is they expect us to get better marks in it as we're a Catholic school. However i'm not catholic personally so I don't really see it's importance.
I got an A* in the one we did in class 89%- we did a past paper last week to prepare for this one, so hopefully I'll do good in this one too.
You'll be fine :)
English Mock today. ;] Think i've done ok with it though. I finished half an hour early though, which makes me think I didn't do enough. ;[
There's no point worrying about what you did or didn't do. You can't do anything about it so it is pointless worrying over it :)
I ran out of time :crying: :crying: :crying: Media Studies.. I just knew I was going to fail.. Actually felt a bit confident before but then by the end I was in the middle of a sentence and I just started a 12 makr question and had to stop! It was the last question, on the way home I heard people sayng they didn't even start it, they JUST finished it, middle of a sentence, middle of the question :(
1 hour is nothing!
Awww relax Im sure it wsnt that bad you have the rest of the questions you answered that would have been good :)
1hr seems quite short if you had a 12 mark question at the end! im sure you did better than you think though, just cos you ran out of time doesnt mean you failedQuote:

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 thoughQuote:

I think the exams officers/invigilators check that you have filled in all your information correctly so they'll see that you havent filled the box in.
Anyone doing GCSEs this year? Or are we all doing A levels and uni now?
I'm doing GCSEs (N) had our last week of normal lessons this week, got block revision days and some days of normal timetable for the next three maybe four weeks and then that it, first exam is RS in 18 days i think!
Good Luck with your exams Hollie
thankyouuu :D
tbh i'm not that worried about any apart from history - which tbh i can pretty much garuntee (sp?) i will fail!
the only one i know so far i'm gonna get an A overall is science, i'm already 1 mark off an A overall and I still have to do my Chemistry exam cos we're doing Dual Award and i got A* in my Biology which i was sooooo chuffed with! I was even more happy cos it was with my favouritest teacher ever! Mrs Eulert and she was ded proud of me which made me feel even better :D
so fingers crossed!
