G.C.S.E's

RE is the easiest subject to pass. Its not even about religions mostly, but more about morality.

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.

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.
We did Citizenship in Year 11 which was a load of rubbish.

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.

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

I was told that my product design exam was on the 6th June, but I was looking through the diary thing that we got sent at the beginning of the year, and it says it's on the 25th May.

I suppose I should check that out..

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?!

At my school, the GCSE one is on the 25th of May. That might help you a bit.

(They put the GCSE, AS and A2 exams on the same timetable, so we know when our mates' exams are, and can remind them to turn up )

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.

LOL, well thanks.
Unfortunately, only one (or maybe two) people in my year are taking this exam, so I don't even have anyone to remind me!
