just writing to ask if you had any this week and what you thought of them.

business and communications- very easy, 2 exams, one on computer other is written

English Literature-was expecting it to be really hard so i revised all weekend and it payed off i knew exactly what to write

I.C.T- i thought it was hard, but i didnt revise as hard as i should have because i was too busy doing english

then ive got P.E tommorow and then none till after half term
 
i took mine many a year ago, i do remmeber thinking i did badly in a few, turned out ok!! good luck with them all..

if i rmember right worst was eng lit & history on same day.. that killed the hand!
 
i fretted about not really revising for gcse's last year but got 11 A*-B's which was quite a shock, in my a-levels in january i pretty much continued on this and got a C,E and U - which was a shock - I've had a resit today and am doing a statistics maths exam tomorrow, and i've not revised properly for this either!

morale = revise as early as you can and don't follow my role.

good luck and i hope you arent doing english :P
 
Did my GCSEs last year too, didn't revise but got again, got one A* in History, 4 A's, 2 C's and everything in between was a B.
Haven't revised for my AS exams either tbh but i'm doing alright with high B's and low A's in mocks and january modular exams.
 
Good luck everyone :)
I always remember my GCSEs as the most stressful exams I had, maybe because they were the first major ones for me.
 
I had English today found it ok. The questions were good but I had to write about 4 poems in one hour and a novel in 45minutes, not enough time in my opinion. I only have R.E chrisitian perspectives on Friday and I'm done for the half term. I'm dreading my Science exams, hence why I'm taking half term lessons

i can't be bothered typing properly at the moment haha, what are you talking about?! I got an A* in English Literature (and a B in language). I may have used possessive apostrophes a bit badly then but meh :p .

I had Business and comms yesterday which was pretty easy I thought. Had English Lit today which was again, pretty easy. I wrote about To Kill a Mockingbird for 45mins and then 4 poems for an hour. Can't stand the poetry bit though :D

Got two German exams on friday- listening and reading but they should be fine. French exams soon to come as well though :(

Good luck to everyone :D

I've got PE tomorrow too.
Due to my performance in the practical, I need to get 95% for an A :(

If I ever see another copy of A View From the Bridge again, though, I might just cry.

Nah, will just work considerably harder for A2's. Just aiming for 2 A's and 2 B's at AS. Just need a good pass really for AS exams.
 
How long did you have to do your English Lit ?


I had 2 hours and a half with WJEC

I also had ICT and was bored senseless for about an hour after finishing. :o


I've got my Welsh Lit exam on Thursday and I'm dreading it. :/
 
So far I've had a 10 hour art exam. Didn't manage to finish that. :(
1 Business and Comms exam on the PC's- That went pretty well.
1 Business and Comms written paper- That went pretty well too, although the clock stopped half way through so I slowed down because I though I still had a while left then found out we didn't so I had to do 5 questions in 10 minutes. Lol.
1 English Lit. The first question went well (Of Mice and Men) then I started to answer the wrong question so waisted 30 minutes. :(
1 ICT Exam- That was easy, the whole exam hall had finished within 10 minutes. :confused:

Not got any more until after Half Term which is good.
Although, I'm crapping myself over the Maths exam. :(

Good luck everyone!!!
 
Psychology - Thursday
English Lit - Friday

And a week off and then 8 more exams!

I go by the rule of failing is progression

:rolleyes:
 
I've got DT resistant materials on thursday along with English Lit. Friday is German listening and reading. Then a weeks break (revision time) until the next lot
 
Don't to lit :cool:

But I have 1 1/2 hr media exam tomorrow. Isn't to hard so not complaining!

Have Tech on Thurs and 2nd Humanities paper on friday! (Yes, we didnt get out source booklets either!)
