The AS/A2 Exam Thread

[KneeOn]

Its that time of the year again guys...

So what do YOU have?

How have you prepared? What suicide method are you using?

I've had AS computing theory, and have AS computing practical in a matter of an hour and 46 minutes.

Who else has got these dreaded exams?

What will you do in teh eventuality that you MISS results day? Me, i'm asking everyone to not open it or anything and when i return, i shall read them!

Good luck with the exam mate. Managed to dodge out of doing any exams by doing a Btec so it's all coursework. May be worth nothing, but it's gotten me into uni so, safe as houses.

 

[Husty]

Had OCR Geography G1 and OCR Chemistry U2 on Friday which were an absolute doddle, OCR Core 1 Maths which is also far too easy and then OCR Biology (easy) tomorrow alongside Gepgraphy G2 which is when it starts to get a bit harder. Then OCR Core 2 Maths on Thursday then a few more after half term.

I've prepared by revising, although no where near as much as I should have.

 

[Haydn-4]

First is on Wednesday: Edexcel History with Biology, Chemistry and Psychology to come after half-term, with one day to spare before the world cup

 

[The Ringleader Returns!]

Doing my GCSE's.

Passed 3 earlier in the year and I'm walking all my Science modules so I have enough to get into 6th form already.

Got English Lit tomorrow and Chemistry & Physics later on in the week. Then I'm on study leave

 

[cjwoolven]

Got AS retakes on the way, with Business unit 2 tomorrow, and then Phys Ed and Economics both on friday.

After that, only 5 more to go

 

[Simon Morgan]

Completed my degree on Thursday and on the brink of getting a 2.1

Uni exams kicking off this week. 5 papers, 3 hours each, on periods of history I dont know well enough. All done by next Thursday.

 

[Wilko]

Out of interest - what colleges do students here go to and are you on study leave this week or are you still attending lessons when you do not have an exam?

Bloody hell that's a heavy workload! I had 3 2 hour exams, 1 performance exam (tomorrow) and then 14,000 words coursework. Was a lot but was quite spread out so not too bad - I can't imagine having to revise for 15 hours worth of exams!

This is my last week at college. EVER.

Only got 2 exams 22nd and 24th of June.

Tell me about it, only second year as well and doesnt count towards third year. We had a 6,000 coursework on top, but that wasnt that much work. They're all within 7 days as well. 15 essays in 15 hours, cant say Im too excited about it!

 

[brighton_girl87]

I have my final uni exam on Thursday and I only need 60% to guarantee myself a 2.1

 

[astevens76]

had 3 last week, now i've got 2 more exams this week to finish off my second year of uni. thought i came hear to do maths, but instead im doing a course in short term memory filling...

BHASVIC, and our study leave started this week.

 

[Safe.]

BHASVIC, finished last Friday.

It's silly isn't it. I've done about 4 courses this term and for all of them I've basically ended up cramming about 10% of the course content to do the exams - and it's not like I can't do the exams!

 

[willyfantastic]

good luck every1!

finished uni last year, missed out on a 2:1 by around 3% in 1 exam

 

[SeagullRic]

Just had my french AS paper 40 minutes ago, went pretty well all things considered.

Got Early modern history on wednesday, then a 2 week gap, then the last 3 within 3 days of each other.

I too attend BHASVIC, and left on the 14th May.
