Good times.

This week may well kill me.

Maths for Economics tomorrow evening, should be able to pass the module on previous results and first two simple questions on the exam.

Economics (Micro and Macro) on Wednesday afternoon - possible fail. Did okay on Coursework but that's not worth enough to safeguard a pass. So much to learn.

Accounting - It's not actually that hard, but after only going to 2 out of 10 lectures, I'm having to learn it all and the exam is on Friday morning after I see Oasis/Kasabian/The Enemy all day on Thursday.

Lots of luck needed me thinks.

Oh History, I failed it at AS, got put in A2 class, then didnt do much work, then moved back down to AS, then kicked out of that cos I didnt do much work for it either.

I finished forever like 2 weeks ago :D

But now I have to find another job, or anther college <_<

Glad to see you used those two years of your life well then.

Fairly satisfied with this mornings examination.

Bloody hell - didn't realise that these had started yet. When are the other two? Thankfully mines the last one going on the 10th.

Maths calculator exam tomorrow.

Can't wait. :unsure:

Imagine doing that same maths calculator exam.

Only approximately 100 times harder than the exam your doing.

Thats what i face Friday. Wish i was sitting your exam, although i would still somehow not get 100% :P

Heres some advice, don't do A Level Maths :thumbup:

Turned up today thinking the exam was at 9.

Turned out it's at 2.

So I had to walk back home, and then got to walk back up there for 2.

I'm glad I have my referee watch lol

Section A spend 55 minutes on. After 55 minutes I had done 3 of 4 questions so I moved onto section b. My reason for this was that fourth question was worth 10 marks however section B was worth 40 marks (two 20 mark questions).

I completed section B, albeit quickly scribbling an end (I never knew the phrase "You have five minutes remaining" can make you panic and sweat :o) so came to a crap ending.

Then I did loads of bullet points for the A4 question so wonder if I'll get even one mark :dunno:

Why not just wait at school and do some revision?

People on the Management course at our uni could write their law module in bullet points, so I'm sure you'll be fine for GCSEs. In fact, I briefly remember back to one teacher telling us to do it for GCSEs if you struggled.

Agreed with most other subjects too. The jump between GCSE subjects and A-Level subjects is ridiculous. At our school they are changing syllabuses so I don't know if this will affect anything.

Yeah needs to be changed in some way. For example at school we did a fairly easy general science course for gcse, now I do biology and its a huuuge step. Geography and German hasn't been quite as big though.

Our school's excuse for the big jump was that 'it gets you ready for uni'.

I'm all for that, but at least do it in stages lol.

Tom, thought you had Comms re-take?

Uni accepted me without it.

Bollocks to revising when I could be earning and paying £30 for it.
