"Exams"

Seeing as most of the clever and intelligent folk are in here I thought I would wish anyone else with exams, either at uni, school etc, all the best.
Good luck with the exams or the studying before hand.

Mine start next week so I am starting to study as much as I can, although trying to make myself do it seem to be the hardest part at the moment.

Anyway. Good luck to anyone with exams in the not too distant future

Are you sure you passed English?

Got my GCSEs in a matter of weeks but oddly I am not at all worried about them, besides the fact I am likely to flunk science. However I have my A levels next, then a degree, then I will get a job and nobody will enquire as to what I got for my GCSEs or A levels! Life is so stoopid!

Yes, because GCSEs and A levels are worthless!!1!!

Without good GCSEs you won't get into a good sixth form to do A levels, without good A levels you won't get into a good University and then you might not get a good degree (or any degree at all).

I sat my Art Standard Grade exam/GCSE exam last week and sat my English exams today. I don't have any exams tomorrow but I have Maths on Thursday. Anyone got any tips on how to revise for this biatch of a subject? I don't even understand trig ratios for gods sake :(

Yes. Cheat.

Read over all your notes from class? Your textbook should explain most theories in examples.

As Blokey says you need good GCSEs/Standard Grades to be allowed to do A-Levels/Highers but it is a well known fact that if you have the A-Levels/Highers then universities really don't care about your GCSEs/Standard Grades. However once you get your degree from univeristy employers don't really care about anything before them. Oh well you still need to be good at what you are currently doing to be allowed to do good in the future. Work hard kiddies! :D **remembers my maths exam is on Thursday**...Oh yeah :S

we had to hand in our text books as we aren't doing the GCSE/Standard Grade course anymore and although I have notes I have been in the top class for 4 years but in the last month I was changed into the middle class and all my notes on advanced maths are now useless and I have few notes on the easier stuff. What a world :(

It's a knock-on effect basically, you're only as good as your last major exams but in order to get there, you need to do well in the last set, etc.

If that's the case, are you now sitting a lower tier paper than you would have? Frankly I think that's a sorry state of affairs if all of your notes are useless...but they wouldn't let you take the test if you haven't studied the syllabus so I think you just need to find out maybe from a classmate what work they've covered and use your (slightly advanced) notes to learn it all. Better to know tonnes more than you need than a few tidbits less, to be honest.
