fellas, im living in Aus and therefore miss GCSE and spent the last two years chilling.

Now I have to do A levels next year does it matter, any tips

Had maths and electronics today, I have serious problems with electronics, mainly a lack a of caring. Anyway I didn't revise because I'd pretty much failed already so i think i've got an F in that if i'm lucky.

Maths my coursework was pretty bad but if it scrapes a B then I say I'm getting a high mark like A/A* overall because the first test I did quite well on and that last one I found as easy as any ever. I knew the answer to every question I think. (hope I did well now )

Only one i was unsure of because I as rushing was

4 3
_ +_ =1
x x-2

Anyone know the answer lol

I finished my maths re sit today, was happy apart from this question:

Which persentage was higher:

42 out of 50
48 out of go

I got 81% for the first one and 80% for the second one. Am I correct.

 

[Sureshot]

48 out of go? Do you mean 48 out of 60?

If so, yes, 80% is correct for the second. First one would be 84% though.

However, if you got the answer right you'll still get marks. Can you remember how many marks the question was for? If it was for 3, you'd probably get 2 marks. As long as you said 42 out of 50 was higher. If it was for 2 marks, you'd probably get 1 mark.

Finished my Maths today, don't think I got 100%, but I think I was easily past the 60% grade boundary. 2 more English exams this week (tomorrow morning, Thursday afternoon) then i'm done with those 2 subjects, forever hopefully.

Can't believe that it's a year since I had to do it! Anyway, I had the day off today (well revising), but have the worst exam of the lot tomorrow - History Paper 1

I am so worried about History. There is just too much to remember for Soviet Union and Superpower Relations - too many treaties, industrialisations and agriculturalisations.

I'm doing Superpower Relations and America - A Divided Union. I think the worst thing for me is the timing - you cannot take your eye off the ball for literally a second. In all the mocks and practise papers I've done, I've ran out of time for a good final answer. I'm hoping that the adrenaline will help tomorrow or else I'm screwed.

 

[Leicester Fox]

That would make sense madman, I put -2 in a rush which is definitely wrong, think it's the only question i really screwed up on though, well hope anyway!

I want to get marks now. This is gay.

Oh well 10 more exams for me, although 1 doesn't count because it's electronics and one is a bloody retake which is gay. I don't want to wait for these results, now I've got that question wrong I feel really nervous

That Maths exam yesterday was extremely hard, everyone around school was saying it. The first one wasn't too bad, and I got full marks on my coursework, so hopefully it'll be ok.

History, Medicine and Germany (1919-1945) today, not in till quarter to 12 because the exams in the afternoon, way too much to remember!

Im sure it was 2 marks.

I think it really was easy, all 6 maths papers have been easy!

I'm worried about mathsnow, I thought it was easy but I know i've got a question wrong. Oh well, had English today which was ok, going back for history later.

Did you get the one about a woman having a rant about how they were greener in the old days?

 

[Leicester Fox]

Yes! I hit back with my damning essay blaming old people for global warming, over population of the planet and war though
