Geography is one large case study learning fest

Very true, the subject itself is very easy, it's just learning the case studies that is the hassle of it all. The annoying thing is that if you don't know them you simply won't do well.

I'd love to say my GCSE's but you all know I'll be lieing

Haha yer, too many distractions to revise, no fair.

This week I've been going into school to revise even though I'm on study leave, there are no distractions, what do you do if your bored? Pick up another book, theres nothing else you can do, whereas at home, internet, music, TV etc.

Ahhh.. Don't even go there.. It was so hard! Probably guessed half of them! What is balanise and Javanise (or however you spell it)??

I personally didn't mind that paper at all, the only difficult questions were in area of study 4! Just wondering as it pelog or slendro??

It is such a time consuming process that I am glad that I spent my time on learning the syllabus instead of doing something which I agree can be improved takes out a lot of lesson and home revision time.

Takes ~5 hours for an A* in maths coursework.

Same for statistics.

Both higher.

fair enough, when i did mine a few years ago, it was pretty easy about some game they made up, and didnt require much thought or anything !! bonus

Yeah, it's not really that hard, just takes time (arg the number of cumulative frequency graphs i had to draw). But then again, my teacher blatently said to us that "it was not worth our time" to try and get an A* as we would find it too difficult , so it's sortof working as a disadvantage for me.
