Bah I know exactly what you mean. That's what put me off this year...I mean when the poet is writing his poem I doubt he thinks of every single word and what its meaning will be...GR, I just found it so boring and tedious...probably why I'll be denied an A.

:( I barely revised Geography as I understood most things in lesson, just a quick scan of things to refresh my memory. I did spend sometime on the case studies though as the questions on them give you the most marks, usually between 6-9. Good luck with your exams, my first Geography one wasn't too hard.

Heh, poems are a fun and interesting way of learning absolutely nothing. Personally I feel most poets are pretentious tw*ts, however that opinion is void if my teachers are infact lying and each individual word hasn't indeed been picked simply so I have some intellectual points to make during my exam. Perhaps I just don't enjoy looking too deep into the meaning of a word to extract the meaning of the poem on the whole, but to a certain degree English Lit can get very annoying in this sense once you're past GCSE level. I mean there's interpreting a poem and there's dissecting a poem... I know which method of analysis I prefer.

Double A*. Chemistry mark could be a problem though. Speaking of which I didn't realise it'd got this late, Geography beckons. Laters.

Heh, know the feeling. I have a 2hr Geography exam tomorrow, followed by 3hrs of Physics on thursday, and then another 2hr Geography exam on friday.
Lovely. I'm sitting here, trying to do geography for tomorrow, yet still worrying about physics on thursday.
Why God, whyyyyyyyyy?

OK thanks for your views. If it's more of the same I should be happy just as long as there are no poems (2 of the 3 english exams I did for GCSE were on the Anthology) since I hate poems.

We got 1984 for GCSE Lit, that was a good choice. Play was The Caretaker, also a good choice. I was really really considering Lit for next year, but this year turned me against it (and Language).
What're you predicted for science's, Lipe?
