I have fucking 6 A Level exams in the next month and I have to cram every single one. Anyone else doing A Level exams this Summer?
Yeah me
Bloxxxxxx
>>28424170
Isn't there a containment thread for all of you?
>>28424699
Yep, but it's a cess pool
>>28424170
>Aiming for all A*s.
GL OP!
>>28424170
Yeah, Biology and Stats 2 tomorrow and day after. Trying to cram both. Fuck this shit
>>28424786
Jesus Christ, good luck mate. I'm doing mostly useless essay based subjects.
>6
That's just fucking stupid. You brought this upon yourself. Also, A-levels are piss easy, I only spent 2 days revising for each exam (sometimes 1 day) and I got A* A* A B.
>>28424826
I'm a lazy shit, I've done this for GCSEs and AS Levels. Every year I say "I'll revise in advance this time", never happens.
I have nine in total
Maths, physics, chemistry and ICT
>>28424981
GL anon, hard as fuck A Levels you're doing. Except ICT (I also do it), easy as piss.
>>28425002
You can say that again, physics is killing me. Not so much the mechanics or quantum stuff, but waves are cancer
Good luck with yours too, hope you've started revising :^)
>>28425047
Eh, sort of started, mostly making summaries of the text books atm. I'll cram everything in a few days before the exam. (literally my only option)
I keep getting distracted when i revise and end uo doing nothing, anyone know what to do?
>>28425073
Pretty much what I'm doing, taking notes from the textbook over and over
What subjects are you taking anon?
>>28424760
dude you're literally on /r9k/
>>28425080
Nope been dealing with that conundrum since I started revising for exams years ago, easier said than done, but stay focused and take regular breaks. Usually the days before an exam, panic sets in and my body goes into auto-pilot mode.
>>28425080
Unplug your computer, take the battery out of your phone
>>28425102
Religious Studies, Geography and ICT.
I have 8 exams in the next 3 weeks
>I haven't even started learning the content yet
>>28424170
Computer science, Mathematics and physics here.
I dropped chemistry because I have absolutely no intention of taking to university and it was by far the hardest A-level out of all I'm doing.
>>28425131
Enjoying them all?
11 here:
>Physics FPaF
>Physics Newtonian World
>Maths C4
>Maths FP1
>Maths FP2
>Maths FP3
>Maths S2
>Maths M2
>Maths M3
>Electronics Communications
>Electronics Control Systems
First exam is M2 on the 18th
>>28425149
Nope, hate every single one. Geography is by far the worst, so much to learn, yet so little can come up in the exam.
>>28425175
That sucks then
What are your plans for after?
>>28425197
Got a Uni offer which I'll most likely meet. Computer Science at a Top 30 University. What about you?
>quick revision for 1-2 days before the exam isn't enough for him
were you messing around in class, normie?
>>28425215
Not bad tbqh
I'm still in my first year (no ban pls), so I'll probably drop ICT then try to get in uni for maths
>>28425166
C4 is alright, those further modules are supposed to be killers though
>>28425245
Yeah definitely drop ICT, it's a massive commitment in A2, despite it being a relatively useless subject. I regret not taking up Maths for A Level, most top Universities require it for Computer Science.
>>28425265
I'm fine with C4, M2, M3, S2 and FP1 but FP2 and FP3 are fucking mental
>pic related: mfw complex numbers and group theory
I've got 9 exams. Haven't revised for anything. Good thing I have an unconditional offer.
>>28424170
> Taking English Lit
> All the content is shite
> Haven't even read any of them, first exam in a week
>>28425298
All I do in the lessons is browse 4chan with a shitty vpn anyway
>>28424170
No because I'm not a fucking underaged cunt.
reported
>>28425312
Unconditional offers are a curse! I know someone that has one in my college, he does fuck all and will probably get pretty shitty grades.
>>28424826
>t.English student
Take Maths and Chemistry and get back to me on that one you chucklefuck.
>>28425348
I'm almost 19 ya silly cunt.
>>28425299
Good luck senpai, try not to panic just yet
>>28425332
English Lit at AS was hell. Horrid experience
>>28425348
>A2 level, taken at 18 years old
>underaged
nice
>>28425360
Yeah that's me right now. But even if I didn't I'd probably still be lazy.
>>28425397
I gotta say bro, I found English easy as fuck, scored in the top 4% in the world for AS combined English. Had no time to study it either as it went back to back with P2
>>28424170
Where are my philosophy niggas at?
>>28425377
>revising for Maths A Level
Some of us have to be retards I guess.
>>28424786
Which Biology lad? Aqa?
>>28424170
Kek, relax. Did one week for math and not more than two days for the rest of my classes and it went good. Was probably harder than yours too.
You will laugh about it 2 weeks after it's over
>>28425531
>A levels piss easy
>"revising for Maths A level"
Something doesn't add up here you fucking retard.
>>28425553
CIE, all self-study, had a grand total of 5 days to learn the course.
Should be able to pull a C, will have to see what the paper is like, Glycolysis and Krebs is a bitch.
You?
>>28425635
I'm doing A2 AQA. And yeah respirations a cunt but photosynthesis can fuck off.
>>28425708
I find photosynthesis easier, just gotta remember one cycle (Calvin) and a few areas...
>>28425610
I meant that anyone who needs to revise for maths/further maths A level is a dumb fuck.
>>28425762
Agreeing on this, maths is pretty easy desu
>Take English Lit for easy A
>Closed Text
Fuck my life
>>28425762
Kek, anyone can fling shit on an anonymous image board my friend, by the fact you are still posting here, and obviously buttmad, I am gonna guess that you fucked it up.
Have a nice life.
>>28424170
>6 exams
What piss easy subjects are you taking?
>>28425777
I'm pretty sure he's implying it's impossible to revise Maths.
For mathematical type subjects practise is the only way to do well.
>>28425751
I'm quite bad at all of it but I'm still doing a Biology degree for some reason. Just fuck my shit up I suppose.
>>28425821
I wrote 6 at AS with all sciences, maths, english, history and geo..
It is not too bad, but full A I would imagine he must have dropped a few sciences...
>>28425821
Religious Studies, ICT and Geography. (pretty easy compared to the rest of the posters on this thread)
>>28425826
Meh, whichever
>>28425831
Eyyy man, just draw everything a billion times till you know all the diagrams off by heart, like I can redraw and label most of the textbook in my exam if I need to by the end..
Past that it is just logic, good luck man. Same desu tho, I am just going into Agriculture cus I like growing shit, and bio is the most direct route I see..
Enjoying how the people who know they're gonna fail posting Anonymously that A-Levels are piss easy to make themselves feel better. Hope the Tories win again and you can't live on the welfare state you pathetic fucks
>have 12 exams
Just fuck my shit up desu
>>28425899
How!?
What are you doing?
>>28425877
Yeah I have a photographic memory kind of - like I can remember stuff based on where it was written on the page.
Although most people probably do that so I'm no special snowflake.
Anyway lads what unis have you applied to?
>>28425982
None mate, I sperged and pulled out of all of them cus I have only had 3 months to study all my subjects. I am just writing for fun desu senpai.
>>28425820
No not really, just on here for some catharsis and to rustle some jimmies.
>>28424170
What does level _ mean? Difficulty?
>>28425935
Tbh they're mostly maths but it's still long as fuck and there's some stuff I've just given up on
>Maths - 8 for this I think
I have no idea what's going on in D2 so I've pretty much accepted I'm going to fail that and not bothered revising
>Chemistry - 2 exams
>Physics - 2 exams
Chemistry is probably my biggest issue atm but it doesn't really come into my uni offers so hopefully it'll be fine
How about you senpai?
>>28426029
It stands for their disability. Autists take A Levels, which explains why everyone here takes them.
>>28426029
'A Levels' are the exams you must do to enter University/College in the UK.
>>28426055
inb4 useless BTEC fags
>b-but muh BTEC is worth like 4 whole A levels guize!!11!!1!
>>28426043
I have like none cause I took the easy route out
>English lit- 2
>Computer Science- 1 written/1 on screen
>Gov/Pol- 2
>Economics- 2
>>28426055
Ahh, thanks anon.
>tfw plan to commute to uni (if I even get in)
I-i'll still be able to make friends right
>>28424170
Yes
>tfw haven't started studying yet
>>28426084
I only ever knew one kid who did a BTEC, it was a black kid on my uni course who always rocked up with his homies and stinking of weed. He never came back after the first Christmas. Fuck knows how he got on the course. Affirmative action or some shit.
>>28426084
All the people I know who ended up doing BTECs were literal retards. If you do a useful BTEC like Math, it's fine, but most of them did plumbing for some reason.
do any of you regret picking any of your choices/wished you had picked something else? what was living hell for you. For me it was physics.
>>28426090
I know some guy who I think is doing the same subjects, not sure if he does compsci or IT tho
Economics sounds interesting, I was thinking about doing it but my school only allowed 4 subjects
>>28426084
Not completely useless if your learning how to do some real trade shit like plumbing.
But lets be real it's only dumb girls doing hair and beauty or some shit
How are you man revising?
I'm fucking struggling with this shit. Been using Quizlet a bit to make revision cards. Doing some past papers.
It's a struggle to look over my notes because I ended up becoming really disorganised.
And I constantly end up procrastinating.
I need ABB for all my current offers, which will be tough, but the real issue is that I want to get AAB so I can reapply and get into Manchester because I really fucking liked it there when I visited.
>>28426103
Sorry but probably not. I have several normie friends who are sociable but still didn't make friends. Then the ones who moved out have made new friends. Good luck though :^).
Advice. Just join a society where you can drink a lot, might be a good way to meet people.
>>28426166
Don't forget childcare!
I've got 5 exams starting next Monday and I can't do any revision. My procrastination is getting worse - I used to procrastinate with video games or youtube but today I spent an hour re-organizing my folders instead of doing any work. How do I force myself to revise lads?
>>28425503
Yep. Aristotle and Plato are completely full of shit, why are they even on the syllabus
>>28426174
Summarising text from text books. Cramming shit into my head. That's about it. It's worked for me in the past, but it's definitely not an efficient method of revision.
>>28426151
It can be really interesting and just be like a fun version of maths, but it can be horribly dull.
The CompSci is the odd one out, but I know someone who went down the route of English and Compsci and now owns a castle in Germany so thats what I'm hoping for
>>28426084
How does that actually work?
I don't do BTECs, but apparently they give you loads of UCAS points. Like more than A Levels. But they're fucking BTECs, so they're supposed to be easier.
I don't get it.
>>28426174
Anki is fucking amazing lad, I was sceptical at first but it really helps if you need to remember a bunch of shit
I started notes at the beginning of the year but they didn't really do anything for me so I just gave up on that
>>28426145
Business Studies. The stuff you need to know is all repetitive nonsensical garbage. It all somehow boils down to motivation and fucking cash flow. It's so easy that I find it difficult. There is so much shit to write about that I overthink it.
>>28426090
Hey, I'm doing the exact same, except Philosophy and Ethics instead of CS.
What books are you doing for lit?
>>28426191
White cis hetero patriarchy. You'll learn that at uni.
>>28424170
>Made myself physically unwell studying for my a levels
>Got really good grades but the time studying would have been better spend learning social skills and relaxing with friends instead of learning about fucking mitosis
>>28426217
Most "good" Universities don't accept BTECs. I believe you get the same UCAS points. The highest grade you can get for BTECs is D* which is the same as an A* I believe. But yeah BTECs are supposedly easy as shit, no where near as intensive as A levels.
>>28426217
Only shit unis use UCAS points as admission.
>>28426185
>tfw don't drink
Welp, guess I'm fucked. I was thinking I could just hang around after classes and infiltrate some normie group but I guess that's not going to work either
>>28426231
What is Anki? Never heard of it.
>>28424170
>get straight A's (maths, bio, chem, phys)
>in local news paper (along with others who did well)
>still end up a robot
>but doing good at school is
important anon
>>28426187
Or double health and social!
There's one boy in my year who did double health and social, he sits in the common room watching minecraft lets plays on his phone. It's strange how people who do BTECs seems to be a whole new breed of subhuman
>>28426288
It's basically a flashcard program but had some kind of timing feature made to help you remember stuff more effectively (check out spaced learning if you're interested), I've found it really useful especially if you're doing a subject in which you need to remember a lot of facts
You're all a bunch of cancerous faggots and I hope you all fail your exams.
Your generation are fucking sub-human tier.
>>28426238
The Bloody Chamber for Prose
Twelfth Night for Shakespeare
Jerusalem for Modern Drama
Rossetti for Poetry
How about you senpai?
>>28426287
Easier said than done lol. I've heard from various normies that all their classmates book it as soon as class is over and they never see them on campus.
>>28426287
Why don't you drink? Just never tried it or specifically don't want to?
I feel like drinking is the only thing which could help me to make friends, but maybe that's because i'm boring.
I have 2. History. Get fucked lol
>>28426298
I know that feel, man. Pretty successful though.
Not me, i failed my AS levels and didn't want to retake them.
>>28426431
What you doing now anon?
>>28426103
>>28426185
>>28426287
>>28426358
I commuted to university for 5 years and I've just finished. It's obviously going to vary course to course, uni to uni, but I can tell you it is super super hard to make friends as a commuter student.
In 5 years of trying, I made one semi-friend. More a really good acquaintance.
>>28426262
>>28426217
>>28426271
>implying what university you go to matters.
It doesn't. Coming from someone who has been to 4.
Oxford has the same amount of fucking retards as Reading, as Brighton, as Sussex, etc.
Any STEM field won't care what uni you've come from, and if they do, their HR department is so retarded that they don't deserve you.
If you don't study STEM, it might matter to employers, but if you don't study STEM(or Medicine), don't go to university, there is no fucking point.
Even some STEM degrees are fucking pointless. Don't ever convince yourself any BSc with "Design" in the title is STEM either. It's glorified arts and everyone will think you're a faggot.
Fucked in pretty much all of them.
Maths I get C3 and M1 but C4 will dick me hard.
English is just boring and I can't be bothered learning all the fucking child theories.
Geography is a cunt and I have to resit the first year exam because I got a D.
>>28426442
Probably living life in Bradford.
>>28426351
Must be on a different course famalam
Tess of the d'Urbervilles
The Great Gatsby
Rapture (poetry anthology)
For my coursework I did
The Color Purple
A Doll's House
No Longer Human
>>28426466
Swear if you get into a Russell they'll like you more.
Which is why I want to up my grades because all my offers are just outside the Russell.
To all you children doing A levels - they are the hardest and most stressful thing you will ever do (IMO anyways). Just knuckle down and get through them and life is up from there
>>28426466
Suppose you're right, but it'd be a lie to say that the better the University is the more polish your CV has. If I was an employer I'd definitely be more impressed with a Math graduate from Cambridge than an ex-poly, but again, after you get your first job, experience is most important.
>>28426442
An ICT BTEC, hopefully i can get a CS degree and go into network engineering.
>>28426475
C4 is some shit. I am still getting U's this far into the year.
Also, did your school make you do M1? D1 is way easier.
What have you lot chosen as your offers?
I've chosen Leicester as my firm and Swansea as my insurance.
Rejected Kent as Canterbury seemed like a boring place, although the campus was quite nice.
>>28426287
>>28426387
Don't have to have friends that drink.
Lots of students like to smoke weed all the time and just chill with bros. Pizza parties and takeaway nights with friends and bongs are the best.
Bring a games console and really easy to pick up and play multiplayer games (mariokart, Mortal Kombat) and you'll be kings.
anyone worrying about a levels is a spastic, its not even funny how easy they are
>>28426518
No, I'm a fucking retard and chose it myself because someone told me it was easy.
Turns out that person did fucking physics. I never did physics so I've had to learn it all from scratch while all these other people breeze through it because it's essentially basic physics.
>>28426501
Had an aneurysm typing that out.
>you'd be lying if you didn't think*
>>28426519
Lancaster. I just hope it's not as boring as it seems.
>>28426541
The pressure that comes with them is much higher than anything at university. Also there are very few subjects which I would call 'easy'. Stop being a cunt and let these guys try and sit their exams without you belittling them
>>28426482
I'm on the new 'reformed' ones homie
We do 4 texts in total for exams, and then one of them for coursework. Your coursework sounds interesting though, we have 1500 words to write about a two side extract from Jerusalem.
>>28426501
Thats a HR department thing though, lots of businesses are fucking off their HR departments because they finally realize that HR is the biggest waste of fucking money in the modern workplace. Normally run by hugely unqualified and sociopathic morons.
But yeah, experience is key. For interviews though, cutting the "formalities" bullshit and going straight to business is the key player, in my experience anyway.
Anyone here /OCREconomics/?
>>28426598
I got full marks on my coursework, but I hated it. My teacher and the whole department are really liberal, so we basically had to do the 2000 word essay on 'otherness', racism and sexism basically. I didn't believe a word I wrote, but it got the marks.
>>28426392
did those BMAT and UKCAT tests (IQ like test/aptitude test) which show how much a autist i am (probably a good thing that route didn't work out).
>i'm 28 btw so i actually do wish you guys a better life than my mine. Learn to speak to people/get a long with them - i know it's easier said than done.
>>28426629
Bear in mind that going to a top uni will also make getting experience easier though because you'll be the first pic of any company offering summer internships. Being at a top 5 uni especially means that everyone is practically begging you to do work experience for them in 2nd/3rd year
>>28426358
Yeah and I'm not sure what to do about freshers, I assume everyone will be paired up with their flatmates which will be kind of awkward for me kek
>>28426387
I guess I'm not really into it desu, I've tried a few times before but don't really feel much apart from getting really tired
>>28426459
I think where I'm going should be fairly sociable but my course seems to attract a lot of autists (physics) so I'm not sure what'll happen desu
>24 years old
>starting uni this september
>going to be around 18 year olds who I have nothing to relate to on
Its going to be a rough 4 years
>>28426710
How come you're starting so late anon?
>>28426519
Southampton as my first and Surrey as my second. Doing Electronic Engineering with Nanotechnology
>>28426575
Yeah I personally couldn't deal with that small town.
>>28426727
Several years of horrible mental health after dropping out the first time plus one year spent in America.
Most of my interests are "international" and I have absolutely zero interest in anything produced in the UK aside from our current political climate. I haven't watched TV in 6 years.
would 10 old exam papers be useful to anyone of you? or has the syllabus changed a lot for (maths, chem, bio and phys)
>>28426706
Everyone flocks around like sheep with their flatmates at Freshers supposedly, with their only goal being getting shit faced drunk. I'd wait till after to get to know people, when people aren't acting artificial.
>>28426755
Fair, I live in Southampton.
It's a decent place, nothing super special but it's a nice place. Bit of a shithole but then again the whole country is.
>>28426766
More recent past papers are easy to find and are provided by the exam boards but cheers.
>>28426779
True but it's going to be harder to try and get into cliques after freshers compared to joining in, not sure about this stuff desu
>>28426519
Leeds as firm, Nottingham as insurance
>>28426876
Did you go to Leeds for an open day? If so what was it like?
>>28426876
So jealous.
Leeds and Manchester would've been my first choice but I got rejected from both because of predicted grades so I've had to fall back to Leicester.
>>28426903
It seemed pretty nice, right in the city centre if you like that kind of stuff and big reputation for being a normie party hotspot
Someone explain to me how people are panicking about exams literally a whole month away. Are all britbongs doing A levels so fully retarded?
>>28426968
Two of mines are next week (OP)
>>28426968
People resitting have exams next week.
Plus a month really isn't long at all.
>>28426940
Ah unlucky senpai, must have had some dickhead teachers because all of mine agreed to put my predictions slightly higher than AS
Tbh I wasn't going to apply there at first because be requirements put me off but they have this program where they put your offer 2 grades down if you come from a shit background. Got lucky with that because their standard offer is way too high for me kek
Revision tips please lads.
I want to smash my exams and overachieve.
>>28426940
>Leicester
Might as well give up on life now.
>>28426145
Biology is fucking me over, Edexcel can go suck a dick
>>28427037
Where did you go? Leicester's a good University.
Stupid fucking normies, I left school at age 16 and haven't done anything since. I live a care free lifestyle without the stresses of exams and mr shekleberg.
>tfw got all D's on AS because diagnosed major depression and never payed attention during lessons, and then not revising
>tfw didn't bother resitting them to improve my grade because major depression
>tfw didn't apply for uni because I couldn't go anywhere worth going
>tfw this year I just did the same as last year
I fucked up lads.
>>28426968
Because in the UK, you have one round of exams at the end of the year.
Its not like in the US where your final accounts for maybe 20% of your total grade, and the classes in A levels last for two semesters.
>>28427034
do all the past papers. especially for maths and sciences.
>>28426998
I could never start studying until 3 weeks before exams and usually get top marks anyway.
(It better be the same this time)
>>28427067
>haven't done anything since
Fun
>>28427037
And why would that be senpai?
Do brits have exams fairly often? any time you talk to one it seems they're taking exams or have exams coming up
>>28427106
Teach me your ways mate how do you do it?
>>28427120
Every year in the Summer. Some resits can occur in January, but it's rare.
>>28427109
Yes, that's all I live for. fun fun fun and more fun.
I'm currently dancing around my room to 90's pop music.
Have my resits next week and I'm heavily considering dropping out of college, selling drugs and becoming a grime MC.
I am black, but I'm from a middle class upbringing, if I say blud loads of time do you think anyone will notice than I'm not really from the council estate?
>>28427153
Should be listening to 80s pop.
I've got 5 higher a within the next 2 weeks. Spanish, French, Maths, Chemistry and Physics but they're all easy as fuck so....
>Taking 3 a-levels
>All of them are pointless arty subjects
>I'm failing them all
HAHA TIME TO KILL MYSELF
>>28427168
Oh I've got all night m8, first I started off with some scooter and right now I've come up with a dance for this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DNQRtmIMxk
lads I took 5 at AS, which justed myself, at ucl now kek
>that kid who got 4 As at AS and fucked up at A2 lmao
btw you're all cucks and it's not that hard
>>28427249
I have no idea what any of that means.
>>28427249
>no A*
>retaking C2
Step it up senpai
Christ I remember finishing my A Levels in 2010, planning out my research project for my Masters right now.
Time goes so fast.
>>28427387
You're still in tertiary education? How have you not killed yourself yet? Doing a 3 year Bachelor's is long enough for me.
>>28427321
I got three As
>>28427367
It doesn't really matter, as I only needed AAA to get my offer
I got AABBD in AS btw
>>28427415
Did 3 year BSc (with a foundation year due to mediocre A Levels) at Manchester. Worked in a pub for a year after that, I needed to get out and the uni I'm at/course I'm doing is great for the industry I want to enter (agrochemicals/crop protestion).
>>28427249
How did you do it lad like seriously give a dumb nigga a hand.
>>28427510
Ah right, GL. How was the Foundation year, isn't it just full of international students.
>>28427521
do every single past paper
(btw I would have done better if I had done some of the harder specification past papers, so do those too)
Anyone done their student finance? I still need to send it off.
>>28427627
I'm doing a gap year, I don't need to fill it out now right?
>>28427627
Done the application, still need to send evidence.
>>28427529
Thanks, on the path for a merit so far.
The foundation year was basically both years of Biology/Chemistry/Maths (mostly statistics) A Levels together in one year along with some introductory university level material. Most people dropped out but I'd say that's more a lack of effort on their part than me being great.
There weren't more international students proportionally than in my actual undergrad classes, this was more of a getting people who are just under the requirements but showed promise into the uni. I really kicked into gear then whereas I coasted hard during GCSEs/A Levels.
>>28427578
Thanks senpai.
Do I still have time or is it ogre?
>>28424170
If so you must be under 18, or at least very young. So leave.
But anyway...
>taking 6 A-Levels
>being smart
>being a normie and aspirational
leave
>>28427679
I'm almost 19.
>>28427647
No I don't think.
>>28427652
Evidence? shiieeet. I hope I haven't applied too late.
>>28427686
Also doing three A Levels, six A Level exams.
Maths, Further Maths and Physics here. FP3 in a week, I'm shitting it. Still hasn't kicked in that my first exam will be in a week.
>>28427854
Hard as fuck subjects. Good luck.
>>28425215
what uni nigga
>>28427889
Thanks, senpai. I think I'm okay with Maths. Further Maths, I'm getting there. But Physics, fuck, I just don't get it. I feel like I know the content but the questions in the papers just bewilder me. And I usually run out of time, resulting in me just guess ticking the multiple choice paper.
>>28428138
What boards? I'm with OCR for all my subjects
>>28428138
I failed Further maths in AS but found physics ok, have you done all the past papers?
>>28424170
Yes. I've got 10 exams starting end of may right until end of June. Haven't started revision for any of them.
>>28428190
>>28428174
I'm on AQA. And no, I haven't. I really need to. Probably plan to do at least one a week until my exam a month or so.
Also we only just finished Unit 5 last week, we were behind as the whole class had to resit the ISA. We got five U's and one E in our first try. I think I was a mark off a B in the resit, but it will either end up as a C or a B depending on the grade boundaries.
>>28428201
Start now you cunt
>>28424170
yeee buddy
history, sociology, english lit/lang and product design
>>28428243
RIP in peace
good luck anyway
Just cheat. Most people do.
Revising History is a real pain in the arse when you know your not going to need at least half of whats in the book
Why don't they just teach the sections in which are going to appear on the paper like in america?
I got it real easy for A Level, Media, Extended Project and ICT. My teacher for extended project is letting my submit my media coursework as a final piece for project.
On my media course there is a kid who is pretty odd, he has an obsession with Chris Benoit and our media teacher, to the point where he posts pictures of the guy's wedding pictures on /b/ and asks how people would fuck/kill his wife. But a part of our media work is too submit a 1400-1800 word essay which explains your chosen topic of study and how it ties in with a production you film. This is the email we got sent today, highlighting what we all had to do.
>>28428306
It's the same for Geography and R.E for me.
>revise shit loads of content
>2% of it comes up in the real exam
>>28425299
>can't do group theory
Retard kill yourself. Literally the easiest part of that module
>>28427249
>Not getting 590+ for maths.
You basically failed.
>>28428324
You're well fucked m8

How though ?
Original comet soaring
Who /realisingoppourtunities/ here? It's this bullshit access scheme for kids with low income parents, live in a shitty neighbourhood and whose parent's never went to uni.
It was fairly easy to complete. Basically go to two or three of their event days, do a life skills multiple choice test online, and complete the EPQ. You can get two grades off your offer at most Russel Group universities but Oxbridge and Imperial.
>>28428389
who le hell cares
>>28428421
no one cheats man
it's not a hard enough test to justify it anyway
>>28428389
Oh just fuck off with your obvious bating
>>28428421
>Get a pen with a rubber grip
>Cut the rubber grip off
>Write hints on a piece of paper
>Tape the paper around the pen
>Put grip on, cutting off a little more
>You can now rotate the grip to see hints hidden
>Do this with three pens
>Each pen has hints for three areas in the exam
Easy.
>>28428512
Easily caught. I prefer the speaker implant in the anus method for cheating.
>speaker in anus
>camera implant in eye
>send images of exam peper to genius outside of exam hall
>speaker implant goes off with answers
>easy
>>28428561
It's near impossible to get caught doing unless you're a complete retard. The pens look perfectly normal when held (you just rotate the pen in your hand slightly to see the notes) as the gap in the grip is small.
>>28428652
This is only useful for subjects that you need to remember a lot of facts for, pages of notes aren't going to help you solve an equation
>>28428725
not that guy but stuff derived from the trigonometric identities would have been useful for C3 maths
>>28428512
You mean a pen with a grip like in pic related?
>>28428755
The ones following from sin^2+cos^2=1 are easy to work out and most of the others are in the formula book, why would you need notes for this?
i don't even fucking know what exams i have or when they are. i have done no revision and am probably going to fail all of them apart from psychology which is piss easy. someone end my shit.
>>28428809
Think he's on about the dickhead ones in C4.
>>28428828
Tbh if you don't revise you'll probably fail psychology too.
Knowing the material on the exam is one thing, but the most important thing is knowing how to answer the questions.
If you don't know how to structure your essay properly you'll leave things out and drop loads of marks.

>all papers but should be good practise
My Physics exam are in a month. Is it too late or do I still have time if I start revising now and keep a consistent habit?
What's the best method to revise besides from doing past papers?
>>28428725
Oh yeah. It's only handy when you need to remember key things. I used it at Uni for Law. I just used Word to type in size 5 font case names in a one word memory jogger for the case. So I would put a 'key' on each pen so I knew which pen had what cases on. When I did a question on invitation to treat I would look at the pen and the hint would be "Fisher v Bell (Knife window)".
>>28428782
Yep, identical to the ones I used. Here, I made a quick example (Do it neater than this, I didn't measure it out properly or tape it down, also don't make the gap as big as I did)
>>28428839
Maybe I'm on a different board to you but pretty much everything on AQA follows straight from the formula book with maybe a couple of extra lines of working at most
>>28428894
>generally a normie, not chad but not too autistic either
>start going on /r9k/, mostly using it ironically or reading the sad and desperate shitposts for laughs
>discover an A level thread and start getting ideas about how to cheat from a twat off /r9k/
>end up fucking up when examiners starts eyeing me up
>spill all of my spaghetti and reveal the notes on my pen
>disqualified from all of my exams
>life ruined forever, destined to live with parents and survive off bennies
>transform into /r9k/ beta
This is a trap. Don't cheat.
>>28428919
Yeah, AQA are pretty generous for formulas. We get the compound angle formulas, so you can easily derive the double angles from that. And then just substitute sin^2 + cos^2 = 1 or whatever to get the other formulas you usually use.
Any thing else I should remember? I also do FP2 and FP3 but that's a whole different story.
>>28428865
i've got all that shit down from being forced to do literally dozens of essay plans. i don't feel as though i know anything but i can format essays well. i somehow pull in a c or a b every mock we do. everything else i'm predicated an e or a d if i'm lucky.
>>28424170
2nd year trying this and im cramming too
Just dont give a fuck anymore
Fuck A levels and fuck university tbhq

i quit 6th form to play ultima online and hldm in 2000, i've been on benefits ever since
>shitty school anyway and i couldn't take the female teachers seriously, stupid roasties
Probably will kill myself I don't get into university. Need ABB for Manchester and BBC for Liverpool, and they're both with reduced offers. I can't waste that opportunity.
>>28428981
how could this even happen? if they do call you out on it somehow you just take the paper away and there's nothing they can do just because they saw you looking at your pen weird.
>>28429040
There's always clearence
>>28429040
>reduced offers
How?
>>28429045
They would probably confiscate your pen and examine it if they notice something suspicious. Especially if you're have several and you've been cycling through them.
A kid got caught doing this during GCSE (he got Us for all his exams for History I think) and he ended up dropping out before Sixth Form. No idea what happened to him.
>>28429040
Also if you are a grade or 2 below your firm offer there's a high chance they'll still take you. So if you get BBB it's not the end of the world Manchester could still accept you.
Good luck senpai. Just remember we're all fucked with you.
>>28429087
Realising Opportunities, see >>28428424
To be honest, I think it's unfair as although I fulfill those criteria, I don't think I am at a significant disadvantage compared to my peers. But you know, universities and their diversity and outreach quotas. I was given the opportunity and by all means took it even if I don't agree with it.
>>28428981
>>28429100
No idea how you'd ever get caught. It's not like you need to hold the pen in a strange position to read what's on it. You can basically just write and glance at it. Rotating the rubber grip is piss easy, people play with their pens when they think. I just twisted in between my hands while pretending to reread my current answer.
Also you don't mix up the pens. 1 pen per question you need to do. You just swap the pens when needed. Just keep the other two in your pocket or sleeve or just on the desk. The people who watch exams aren't the Gestapo.

I don't mind going to Liverpool. But if I fuck up badly and fail to meet my offer, I'd probably beg to do their Foundational course or something. I don't think I would like to go to a bad university just for the sake of going to university. My offers (BBC) are already incredibly low, due to reduced offers, so I don't expect to find any reasonable clearing university that would accept me if I fuck up that badly.
>>28429193
You are very fucked
>>28429040
Why do you need to go to university?
>>28424826
not everyone can do things like that friend have a little perspective about others but u probably can't because ur here :)
>>28429163
You're lucky, mate. I don't know what the fuck examiners are like at other schools but there's usually three guys. They never smile, always show the same stoic emotionless stare, and constantly walk around the exam hall staring at people's desks. I was looking at the clock once and accidently caught his gaze. He stared at me for about ten seconds until I look back down on my paper.
>>28429227
I'm in a bottom 30 uni and it hasn't been too bad so far, even the worst ranking unis have strict standards they have to meet and if you do well you stand out a lot more

My brother went to university. So did all of my cousins. And for some reason, they always assumed I was the smart one and everyone has big expectations of me (they're all about five to ten years older than me). My parents don't know I'm struggling as badly I am and I currently have no other backup option. It just seems like the next logical step in my life and if I don't achieve it, I could just always go for an apprenticeship or something but the idea that I fucked up getting into university would always torture me.
>>28429271
You just need to remember that it only looks obvious to you because you know you're cheating. You know that there is paper under the grip so you're far more aware of it. They won't be thinking "I'll just go pick up that guys pens and check to see if he's removed part of the grip to hide a hints sheet under it".
They will only lock onto you if you act like a spaz and hold the pen like a book and twist it around, clearly looking for something.
They have 30-100 other students to watch, they aren't looking out for an obscure detail like that.
