Just finished My GCSE's :)

[Rorschach II]

So basically I just had my last GCSE exam today and I will get the results sometime in August. Meanwhile I can enjoy the summer

How did you feel when you did exams like these? All my teachers say that they're important but I think that A levels are more important (If you're American, I'm sorry if you don't understand any of this)

GCSE's are basically exams you take at the end of year 11 (Ages 15-16) and cover pretty much all the topics that you do up until that point. I'm pretty nervous about getting my results but I feel that I did quite well.

How did you guys feel about recent examinations? I feel like some positive reassurance could be something I might need.

In the UK any and every exam is bigged up as being the most important of your life but they're not! Not even final year uni exams (which I finished a few months ago) are. So don't fret about results, enjoy the summer as well as the rest of the WC!

On a side note what A-levels you picked?

 

[Crayzor]

My exams have gone pretty well, I think. My last A2 exam is on Wednesday.

 

[the_pleasure_is_mine]

My current feelings are: Bloody hell A-Level maths is difficult...

 

[Rorschach II]

On a side note what A-levels you picked?

Music Technology
History
Business Studies
and *Sigh* Media Studies

I picked media studies because it seemed relevant to what I want to do as a career. Which is music so making a music video seemed quite cool. Qualifications don't bother me so much as long as you can meet the right people.

I finished on Friday. They weren't as horrifyingly hard as some people said they would be, but they did stress me a bit... Glad to be free now...

 

[Marter]

All of my exams went well, except for Social Studies. Turns out the teacher didn't teach us about 50% of the content we needed, so I'm pretty certain the majority of our class did poorly.

same I can't wait for it to be over

A Levels are far more fun than crummy old GCSEs, which consist of a few enjoyable subjects and a shitload of brain-meltingly dull ones.

I just finished my AS levels (Year 12 for those interested, not the main super-duper even more important ones in Year 13) and so I'm patiently awaiting results so I can apply to a university.

I did the same except English Lit instead of Music tech. Media Studies is a crock of shit though, total doss and drop subject. Luckily mine was a double on Friday with RE (Catholic school) after so I got a three day weekend for a year. So in hindsight was a good choice.

Oh and meeting the right people is defo QFT which is why you should start trying to get into music internships/summer ***** jobs asap.

I find your comment about Media Studies...disturbing.

You should see the new workload. The Year 10 course (mine), is a whore-load of coursework. We then, have a 2 and a half hour exam, and we have no revision material. Nothing. All I know from that subject is Todorov's narrative theory and Propp's character theory. I guess that is all just down to my awful subject teachers though.

I just had my first of many to come ('least they said it was a GCSE) I found it realy easy spent 'bout 10 min's sleeping at the end. It was on physics.

 

[cptn ricardo]

I have my final A2 tomorrow. Physics of all things. Gotta save the best til last right?
And good luck to everyone who has exams or has done them. Hopefully results day will be one of celebration not comiseration.

Heh, you think that's bad?

Of our 1hr, 30min AS economics paper, I spent the last 40 mins sleeping.

I did the same thing with many of my GCSEs.

It either means you've done really well or really badly. How confident are you?

 

[AngryMongoose]

Just finished my AS's, but I've still got another freaking month od college. What a jip!

 

[GrinningManiac]

Pfft! GCSE!

Ha!

I laugh at your mere 'answering of questions'

God I miss GCSE, I can't believe that I found them worrying at the time. AS is a real fretter, and A2 looks worse

...having said that, I don't do Maths anymore...

WOO!

 

[Timmey]

Just wondering, did anybody actually try when they did GCSEs?
Nobody I know did and we all got good grades.

No i thought they were fairly pointless and did no work for them, but still ended up with good grades.

AS's i tried hard for though.

Realy well though 2 question I had never done before so I made a logicle decision. The test was 30mins' long and some people said it was hard... I try'd not to laugh, Failed misrebly, got slapped, smelt of perfume for the rest of the day.
