I guess most people have finished them by now.

I have 6 GCSEs left. Sadly I was feverish when I did my English and Geography, so I'm unlikely to do too well in them.

I still don't know how I managed to put South Park and Monty Python references, and a page on magic and social structure into the English paper.

English Literature was strange...

English Language 1 was cool.

Maths 1 made we want to cry. That was hard... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif

Biology was fine.

French wasn't so bad.

I have about 8 to go, I think.

I hate you.

So much.

First Maths was weird. Half was amazingly easy, a quatre was trickey and the last bit was just random stuff I had never been taught.

What exam board did you take it with? I just realised that we might be talking about different papers.

Edexcel I think. The one everyone complains about. You're probably doing the Welsh exam board one or something?

I don't think it matters too much though. They always seem screwed up when you take them.

No, I'm Edexcel too. What the hell was that probability question at the end about?

I'm going to have to do well on the calc now...

Yes I know. I mean it had no connection at all

Just for anyone else who is interested it was something like:


Quote[/b] ]The probability of two people choosing different colour balls is 4/9.

How does this prove n^2-35n-98=0 ?

I solved the quadratic in part A, but what the F*** did it have to do with the probability?

Edit-The equation was 2n^2, not n^2

It was great going back into education as a mature student and doing what I wanted to do (ancient history and archaeology). Not that maths bollox you guys are talking about And all the other things you probably couldn't give a stuff a bout

Good luck

Thinks back to the halcyon days of GCSE, when I did no work...

Thinks back to just before the exams I had this term, when I did no work and went out all the time. I think now is better. Especially as I've just finished, paving the way to yet more drunken mayhem.

No more exams for the forseeable future (At least until part-finals, or prelims again if I've failed, or mods if I succeed in changing course)

Yeah me too. Made sense up to that point, I don't think anyone managed to work it out.

Exams? I finished those up a month ago, did good on them too, at least I assume I did because my grades were great

Trick is to tie everything to something the teacher emphasized, WWII, or some obscure reference that had *something* to do with the subject.

This tricks never fail me, still love how I tied up the abuse of native americans to the american involvement in WWII among other things.

Love college, got an A in a lab I only went to twice (the first two classes).

My politics exams went well, a lot of the discussions in this forum helped me aswell as other things. I should get a very good mark - I hope.

History went OK, though it was fairly hard. The 2 essays on Mussolini's Italy were tough and so was Russia in revolution paper, however the Germany paper was easier. Not sure how I have done.

Philosophy and Economics on Monday, need to revise a lot because there is a hell of a lot to cover :|

the trick in a history exam is to put in completely irrelevant historical points (like talking about Napoleon's dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire in an essay on the treaty fo Versailles)

On Monday I have the middle of my three science tests, not too trickey but still loads to revise. Then English Media (which basically means looking at a newspaper article and saying how the pretty colours make it sell better - yes this is for proper English, not even Media Studies...).

Tuesday is Maths (might be easy, might be a nightmare) and History 1 (International Relations 1919-89 and the Russian Revolution - how did they manage to put so many bloody Russian names into one paper?).

Then another science and history the week after, then a summer of freedom

History soon (not good).

Maths was ok, first bit of mental work out I have had recently. The other exams are just writing effort or knowledge, and require no mental effort.

Well. I just found my results out.

Good news is, I passed my physical chemistry and my mathematics.

Bad news is, I failed my organic chemistry and my inorganic chemistry.

Looks like I'm going to have to change my location tag.

Heh, I have science tomorrow. I looked through my notes.

I have absolutely none on chemistry. There is no revision guide, the notes I took in class are crappy and piecemeal, the sheets the teachers photocopied suck, and due to some stupid admin error during the revision classes we spent ages on the dead easy biology modules and none at all on the super-hard chemistry ones.

So I'm going to fail so horribly tomorrow. Hopefully my coursework will push it up a bit...

Well I'm finished with GCSEs completely and utterly No more French, no more History, no more RS, no more English... ahhhh

I am doing A levels mind, but they should be quite good fun. I'm doing 4 A levels: Maths, further Maths (2 seperate A level subjects), Ecomonics, and Communication studies.

9 weeks of holiday to look forward to, ahhhh.... and I'm bored already.

All finished 3 days of school left (gah) then free for ages and ages.

Then in August I get to see how badly I have screwed up Chemistry and English (and French, geography, technology etc). Don't be feverish when you do exams. It's not fun and it didn't even make sense to me when I tried checking it at the end.

I am now a MEng Chemical Engineer with Environmental Management with merit.

this is the result of 5 yrs work, and the merit plus a couple of awards puts the icing on the cake. I never need to do an exam again ever (I hope...)

Good luck to everyone else with their exam results
