A levels

[Abbie]

You shouldnt put to much pressure on youself
Wouldnt you be pleased with a B

[Abigail]

Kim, once you get to uni nobody cares what A levels you got. Work hard enough to get the grades for uni but don't stress over it. And if your teachers put pressure on you to get 85%, take it with a pinch of salt. They may want the best for you but there's a line that has to be drawn somewhere.

You don't have to satisfy anybody but yourself. Your teachers and family aren't going to hold it against you for the rest of your life if you get a B instead of an A. After a few hours, they won't really care.

I really agree with abigail, at the end of the day as long as you meet what a uni wants, thats all that matters

I should really have looked at the specification for history earlier. Could have saved myself some revision on topics I didn't need to revise.

Surprisingly four main topics questions are going to be asked are on Versailles, Appeasement, Munich crisis and to the outbreak of wars. Emphasis on 1930s, specifically 1938-9 rather than 1920s. Obviously this is all including opposition, support, pacts, agreements, guarantees...

I am now currently on wikipedia researching the six specific events e.g. Stresa Front; they list. Revision is going so slow today...

You probably already know this but don't rely on wiki for accuracy. And don't cite it in your coursework.

Oh yeah I know, I've got a text book to check, its good but not specifically for the Edexcel course so its a bit lacking in detail in places for what I need.

I don't think I used Wikipedia in my coursework..

Had my biology unit 1 resit this afternoon

It went quite well, I felt really good about the paper I was on the last questions 30 mins into the exam but I had left the calculation questions till last and had to go back to them

[StarsOfCCTV]

Good to hear

Sampling testing and processing today.

Two five mark questions I had no idea what to do so I made it up. Think all of the calculations but one were ok. The third section of the paper was awful, I know they do something you don't have to know but Radon. Seriously. To get rid of radon gases you fumigate a house, right? Dear me. I tried my best.

Bit hit and miss that paper. Some bits I answered well, some I didn't have a clue. Overall I don't think I failed it spectacularly. I hope. ;) Yay for coursework.

[Abbie]

I always do that with calculations, I get confused and not sure what to do so I make it up
