A levels

As threads have been started for GCSEs and SATS. I thought id start a thread for all thouse for are doing A levels to discuss how things are/ arnt going.

im doing AS Levels, the revision aint going to well. I have such a short attention span.

Matters have not been helped by me having to re sit a geography exam that i failed last time.

my sisters doing her a levels this year everytime i see her shes revising but i spose it'll pay off shes expected all a's!

Well Im supposed to be doing revison and coursework. but at the moment it is still not happening. Not quite sure how im going to get it on track

same here, im so going to fail! revision isnt going well lol though i seem to remember stuff a lot better by cramming rather than trying to learn it months in advance then remember it! done all my cw and still on track with hw, all apart from performing arts, i really want to do it but the teacher is driving me mad!

yeh i know what you mean about cramming its so much easier and the exams still seems ages away. well a month away at least.... dam thats soon.

thats like me, i get distracted far too easily at school and end up talking or playing games lol! at home i try but sometimes i just cant be bothered, and half the time i can be looking at something for ages but nothing seems to go in

well ive had 2 exams so far, a maths retake yesterday, which was a lot better than i expected, and a biology practical paper today, which wasnt that good, the question was really stupid but everyone found it hard, tomorrow ive got another maths retake and then no more til after half term!

Eeep English language today...it went bad.

first one tomorrow, Psychology cores studies 1 and 2.

good luck :)
had the last of my exams before the half term today and it was ok, one of the questions was impossible, i had no idea so just drew a random graph and left it lol! the rest was ok though

the exam was ok but i think i could have done a little better one of the essays i didnt know what to write and a few 2 mark questions i didnt attempt as i couldnt even read what the words said talk about comples.

Geography tomorrow which im not looking forward to, 1 till 410. That sounds like what i do when i cant do a question, draw anything random.

English lit this morning, the most dreaded of them! I'm so going to fail.

i dont know anything either, its not good!

i ended up guessing half my geography as i had acomplete mental block on the case studies names.

Im completly begining to panic now. Ive been addingup my marks from last year to try and work out the marks i need this year in order to pass and get into the course i need. My first exams are tomorrow and i seriously dont know anything for them. I know i need to calm down but I cant!

ive got 2 biology exams tomorrow, ive already failed both of them twice so it should be "fun" to see what happens this time lol! :rolleyes:
