Oh dear,

I should spend less time fiddling about on FS2004, and more time revising A/S Physics !


Anyone else sitting their exams this summer ?

My daughter will be doing her GCSE's Chris.
 
At 6th form she's doing philosophy, accounting, and one or two subjects relating to IT and business I seem to recall.
 
My sons doing sociology at uni.

Well if you think that then you will fail. My maths sucks..it sucks so bad that I have been moved to a "special" group because I got a G in the mock. But I am confident that I will be entered for the physics A-level and pass maths with a C. Just REVISE!!

Meee. AS Maths (Second try), Physics (also second try) and Applied Business Studies.

Every minute of effort you do or don't put in will be clear in August when you're sat with a piece of paper in your hands that lists your grades. I did three subjects last year at AS and passed one (Biology, E), take my word for it, it isn't nice. The simple fact is I didn't get my head down to study often enough and such I wasted a year of my life. Please do not do the same.

Really need to get head down this week, would really love it if it dragged a little though.
Many Thanks,

Ryan

There's a big difference between a pilot and an aviator. One is a technician, the other is an artist in love with flight.

Hey man, thanks for that reply.

Its given me abit of a jump start I needed.  I have to stay 3 years at college as apposed to 2 years, but it would be nice to get some good grades in the first year.

Good luck for your exams, and I'll let you know how i did in August.

I'm sitting AS Physics, Geography, and a bunch of Maths modules (C3, C4, M1 and S1, as I'm doing A level Further Maths next year...)
Trying to do an M1 past paper at the moment but as you can tell have become side tracked...
I need to learn all my case studies for geography as well...
Regards, Phil

I've got 13 AS exams lined up for this summer Cry

 - Maths C1 and C2
 - Maths Core combined
 - Maths D1
 - Further Maths D2
 - Further Maths FP1
 - Physics x 2
 - Economics x 2
 - Critical thinking (the most ridiculous waste of an hour a week lesson ever) x 3
 
I'm not going to be a happy bunny come May/June Disapprove
And the worst part about it... I'm having to get A's in three of those, if not four, to stand a chance at getting a place in Warwick.
 
Good luck with the exams everyone thoughThumbs%20Up
