Aaahhh the good ol' days of GCSE, trust me - its A LOTTT easier than AS (not saying to this to scare you at all - just a lil warning), only revised a day before my geo exam and still managed a B.
I was told it was going to be a jump from GCSEs to AS level but damn, I underestimated the warnings.
Enjoy gcses as much as you can tbh , what subjects are you looking to choose next year for AS?
sigh , i miss GCSEs.
Uoeno
@HHC
Doing GCSEs at the moment.
Rather exotic set: Additional Maths, English lit, English lang, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, French, Art and Technology.
Not really too worried, which is scaring me the most. Took a day off today doing rugga.
I've got one relatively interesting story, maybe not, but halfway through a physics practical someone realised he had notes and a phone in his pocket and then went on to report himself to the teachers.
Personally I think exams aren't really much of a test on a students academic ability, some more so than others couch biology cough, but is probably a decent system of testing that isn't over complicated. I do think that even if we were to develop a new system after a while it would eventually revert to testing the same skills (or other skills that aren't academic ability) as the system we have now as teachers and examiners find cracks and exploit them to give their students the best chance.
