Err, think it's AQA arjun; we didn't get to choose, we were taught those 4! Could've done fun stuff like deserts and rainforests but noo, coasts and food supply :(

Ah right I just misread. Yeah we did Hazards/Globalisation/Coasts/Rebranding. Coasts are just so so boring :(
 
Iv got 7 exams in 10 days starting 1st june and as im doing a law conversion course that is almost equivalent to a whole undergraduate degree within a year. It going to be hell. I have hundreds of pages of notes and thousands of cases to remember :(
Why I thought it would be a good idea to go back to studying I will never know, should have realised I dont enjoy it after my first degree !

What's the new Computing Specification like? Am finishing the old one in A2 and literally half of CPT 5 is one database question :/ (29/60 total marks last year!) Only need about 10UMS in order to get an A though. Do well at your first exams and the last ones don't matter :p

Well the exam I've just had consisted of a few different sections - A general theory section based around binary, hexadecimal, bitmaps and audio files. Then comes a section based around the preliminary material we were given, including a skeleton program - identifying variables and other such things. Then comes writing a program from scratch, and finally adding features on to the skeleton program (Which was hangman in this case).

*Ogles* That MPS looks pretty awesome! It reminds me of the pneumatics kits I used to work with at school, but looks a lot more advanced. How many years have you got left?

And yeah, I'll be avoiding the STDs thanks!

It was great to see it actually do everything we expected it to do in the end and was good fun to play with. This year I'll have my level seven award, I'm coming back next year for a level eight and then I'll probably stay and do a masters after that. Of course this is my fifth year in university since I left a course I wasn't enjoying after two years and basically started again from scratch so by the time all this studying is done I'll have been in college for the best part of ten years :eek:

How long do you plan to be hanging around in college for?

Hah, the epitome of the eternal student! That's a lot of time at college, I bet you'll be glad when you eventually start earning a full time salary.

My degree has been three years, and assuming I don't totally pancake on these exams I'll be staying on for another 3 years to do a PhD. After that I'll hopefully get a postdoc position at a university but I'll not be a student any more!

I think that's one thing I really miss from my technology classes you know, spending ages putting a system together, troubleshooting it, presenting it and then seeing it working. And then playing with it. Microbiology is incredibly interesting, but at the end of the day you've a plate of nasty smelling, fuzzy fungus and a few graphs to play with. It's not quite the same, but then I guess that's what hobbies are for.

AS Geography Skills on tuesday + the 2 hour beast Chris? Unlucks.

Skills is easy but the 2 hour one si going to be a paaaiin. Case studies suck.
Click to expand...

Thats the one (actually 2 :D) Not looking forward to them. Got a revision guide from school the other day and we found out that one of my teachers hasn't taught us some of the human part. Oh well, hopefully i make up for it in the rest.

Yeah, skills isn't too bad. Remembering all the facts for case studies is a blag :( Good luck anyway :)

Nevermind that Chris! The ICT tomorrow is gonna be a blag! :p

I've got:

ICT tomorrow
2x Physics on Thursday 21st (2 x 1.5 papers)
History on 2nd June
History on 8th June


I took Business Studies at AS which is all coursework and one exam which was done in January, so I have a easier set of exams than some.
 
GCSEs started earlier this week, not that stressed at the moment really.
Just looking forward to getting them done, cause in my opinion teenage summer holidays are fantastic.

Statistics and mechanics paper for additional maths tomorow though, its looking pretty grim. :(
 
8 Exams over 5 days this year.:(


1st: Mechanics, Structural Engineering
2nd: Materials Science, Thermofluid mechanics
3rd: Electrical Engineering
4th: Information Engineering
5th: Mathematical Methods, Selected topics

edit: beaten by seconds by my counterpart

What exactly does an A2 Photography exam involve?
Click to expand...
Printing our final pictures and mounting them on boards.
We need to make a sketchbook to explain about our project as well, but we could do that outside the exam.
15 hours is way too long to print 4 pictures and stick them to boards though.
