A levels

[Trinity]

I did biology, chemistry and physics to first year Uni level before doing a degree in biochemisty.

The thing about biology is that you need to learn information. In physics and maths you learm mainly ideas and techniques.

I found just reading to be the best method of studying biology.

thats like Law and Psychology if you dont know the stuff youve had it.

Reading up on glaciers, its not sinking in. Its the part of the Geography module i am really struggling with. Tors, Cirques Moraines. I know the terms just no idea what they are/

Done 3 out of my 4 exams now! I had 2 of them yesterday. I was ok untill i got to 4 hours, and then i slowly starting dying, lol!

They went ok though. The English was a lot easier than i had expected, especially the Shakespeare module. Rural and Urban was fine in geography, but the Physical Landforms exam was pretty hard. But i gave it a go, so i dont care anymore Got about 11 days to revise for Politics now. Or. Actually. Make that i've got 10 days to doss, before panicing about my politics exam

[Katy]

lol, i have four weeks till geography, and its the landforms im panicking about, theres so many of them and to be honest with you i think they all look like a flipping hill. Thats it i couldnt identify a flipping moraine or an esker, its crazy.

I hate this time of year.

I'm fed up of doing revision now. One week to go until biology and business. Im fairly confident about business, as long as I remember the motivational theorists and their ideas, the rest of it's pretty easy, quality control, stock levels, interest rates etc.

I've got a few extra days to devote to physics so I'm concentrating mainly on biology. I'm really stuck on reproduction though, we've hardly covered it and the stuff in the textbook is confusing.

12 days to go until all the stress is over

[Katy]

12 days then ill just be beginning. Argh !!!!

I have my plan of action for today. I am doing half nine on the internet. THen the morning i am focusing on plate tectonics and facts and figures, getting my case studies sorted and then i am going to Tesco to get some coloured pens and this afternoon i am doing Psychology and the Environment, Environmental Cognition.

It was such a shock moving from GCSE biology to A-Level it just got so hard I didn't do very well in my A-level in biology lol oh well good job i'm now just studying drama got my exam for that next week...don't see me doing too well lol

[Abigail]

I've almost got all my revision cards written out and my mum has started testing me. Particle physics is going ok, I'm pretty good on that. I need to finish electricity and plastic behaviour and start mechanics. I have 8 days until physics so I'm concentrating on biology at the moment.

Business is all done so I'm ready for questions on that.

Biology, I'm going to fail that spectaculary. I think I know some of it then I come to do questions on it and I can't remember any of it. The reproduction bit is difficult seeing as I have none of the work for it. Apparantly, reproduction almost always comes up, so I'm screwed really.

I did 8 hours yesterday and I'm absolutly knackered. I'm spposed to be doing some revision now so I'd better go.

8 days until it's all over...

lol you sound like me! did alevel biology and just scraped an E, failed quite a few of my modules as well, the amount of money that subject cost me on resits! and like you im now doing a drama degree, no more biology or any sort of exams for that matter ever again yay!

[Abigail]

3 days to go until biology and I'm really starting to panic. I don't know anything and I'm so scared.

I'm thinking about not going back in September. I'm so confused, I need a science to get into uni and I really want to go but at the moment I'm struggling so much with biology. I can do the physics work in class but when it comes to exams I completly forget everything.

I don't know what to do. I really want to go to uni and have a great time and get a degree in something that I'm interested in and get a decent job. I'll be able to leave home in a year or so. But if I drop out I don't know what I would do. I'd love to go into the police force but with my illnesses I might not get in. Of course, I could neglect to put some things down on the application form that I know would most likely rule me out but they check your medical records.

I can't wait to go back to school and talk to one of my teachers and see what he says. I know he wants me to go to uni but I don't know if I'll get in. I feel like people expect too much of me sometimes.

Sorry for the rant, I'll shut up now
