First exam is about 4 weeks away and I haven't started revising anything?
Am I fucked?
Post A Levels and how fucked you are.
Depending on the exam, 4 weeks might be long enough to turn it around. What are you studying?
Further Maths, Maths and Physics here. My first exam is FP3 on Wednesday. Bricking it, tbhfam. I feel pretty confident in knowing what to do in terms of method, etc but keep doing dumb mistakes like fucking up addition or keeping my +/- signs correct.
>>28586914
Maths, Biology and Chemistry.
Biology and Chemistry are fine but I can't do maths, keep failing past papers in C4. Integration is fucking shit.
>>28586437
>4 weeks away with no revision
Man I remember A-level exams, I put more time into them than I did my masters exams.
>>28587003
Sorta opposite for me. I'm pretty good at Maths but Physics is fucking me over. You doing AQA?
The Mathbox notes are pretty good, you can find them via Google. But really you just have to keep doing past papers and it will click eventually.
>>28587120
Oh fuck. Are they that hard? If so I am severely fucked.
>>28587148
Edexcel for maths. It would be fine if I had more time.
>>28587159
What A Levels are you studying, lad?
>>28587159
Their importance is really blown out of proportion, as they do kind of decide you fate if you want to go to uni.
I didn't do well in them (BCC results) and I nearly have a masters in science. They're not a great predictor of future performance.
>>28587295
That's encouraging. I got BBC in AS, and I need ABB for my firm and BBC for my insurance. What university are you studying at?
>>28587280
Maths, chemistry and biology.
Getting really worried now, it's like I need to learn all of it in a few weeks since I have done no revision until now.
I have Economics tomorrow morning. Was supposed to spend all weekend revising but as usual I procrastinated all of Saturday and did minimal work on Sunday. Feeling extremely unprepared, wish me luck lads
Any ideas on how to force myself to do revision for my next exams? Got Philosophy on Thursday and I'm scared that the same thing will happen again
>>28586437
4 weeks?
4 fucking weeks.
Mate I've got a physics exam for my first year at uni and I only started revising a week ago lmao
>>28586437
Final test is in less than 24 hours and havent revised in two weeks of free time.
>>28587349
I did Biology at the University of Manchester, they wanted BBB back then (2010) and I missed that so I was offered a place on the foundation couse. It was hard but it was a guarenteed place on the real course if I passed. Ended up studying Plant Science/Botany and got a 2:1.
Fuck all relevant jobs around so after pub work for a year I went to Harper Adams University for a Masters in Integrated Pest Management. Looking at research jobs and PhDs now.
>>28587413
A-level exams are way more stressful than first year uni exams though.
>>28587295
what uni did you go to, may I ask?
>>28587401
Do you have a console, PC anything like that in your room?
I took mine out of my room and it's worked quite well to reduce distractions.
Are Chemistry and Physics worth the commitment for working a profession after graduation?
I've yet to go back to school and am still uncertain on the things I want to do in life
>>28587368
Maths doesn't have much to learn, it's fairly easy to pick up the skills and you just need to practice using past papers.
The sciences on the otherhand are gonna need dedication. Best of luck. I have to relearn all of Unit 5 Physics again, I don't remember shit.
>>28587469
Yeah I tried that but I just end up procrastinating by doodling or rummaging in my room for old shit
If I get two Bs and an A is it likely that I can get predicted AAA* next year? How important are AS levels really?
>>28587563
>How important are AS levels really?
Underaged, but are you in SW england?
>>28587455
University of Manchester, almost went to Bangor kek
Christ I still get their newsletters, they're having a literal social justice fest.
>>28587563
I got AAB at AS. Resitting a couple of units so they predicted me A*A*A. It's too high and I probably won't get it, but teachers for some reason think I'm really smart so gave me high predicted grades.
I would say it depends on teachers and how realistic they are.
>>28587612
Oops. And I'm in L O N D O N
>>28587619
Bangor as in Norn Iron?
What the fuck? I thought all the liberal shits stayed in Belfast?
>>28587474
Pls respond
;_;

>>28587683
Bangor as in Northern Wales. I'm unaware as to what you mean by liberal shits, I'm as right wing shitlord as they come.
>>28587722
I'm not calling you a liberal shit me ol chum, I'm referring to the Social Justice fest or whatever it is.
I should have known it was wales, the only Uni worth going in NI is Queens, or at least it was, it's probably socialist central now
>>28587641
Ok thanks. I think I can pull off AAB, as long as I don't fuck up my RS. Not sure if I'm going to be able to pull off A* A A if I even get them predicted, but I really need good grades for my uni, especially seeing as I have 0 co-curriculars for UCAS.
Really don't want to take a gap year to re-do anything.
>>28587708
>>28587474
You need to make up your mind about what you want to do at university first. Almost all chemistry or physics courses at university require you to have studied it at AS and A2, so if you want to study that at university it's a must that you do it for A level.
Personally I wouldn't do it because they are some of the hardest A level courses, and subsequently challenging university courses. But I'm terrible at sciences - if you enjoy them and have passion then go for it.
>>28587794
The social justice fest is at Manchester Uni m8, the place is rotten with marxism to the core.
My current uni is great in that regard, isn't associated with the NUS, no faggot clubs, you'd probably get killed spouting off marxist crap.
Anyone else /IBDP/ ?
>>28587832
Inclining answer....thanks for the tip
What are you studying? Do you like it?

>>28586437
>tfw can't find it in myself to study
If it makes you feel better 4 weeks is a good amount of time. Just do past papers all the time and you're good to go
>>28587835
What's your current uni?
>>28588507
Harper Adams University, a tiny farming uni in Shropshire.
>>28586437
Fell for the college meme dumb nigger
>all these kiddies on /r9k/
Jesus fucking Christ why are you here?
I mean - sincerely, why are you here? You're what, 18, 19? You have your whole lives ahead of you, you have uni or college to turn things around
This place is a cesspit for failures - I'm a 26 year old virgin with a dead end job and it enrages and breaks my icy black heart to see young kids think that they've reached the title of robot. I don't want to sound like 'muh sekrit club', but you guys still have hope to live happy, functioning lives - leave now, and never come back.
>>28588695
>tfw I've been here since I was 11

>>28587835
>social justice fest
Shit, I have Manchester as my firm. Am I fucked?
Got 6 over the next month. Got my first one tomorrow and have done fuck all revision.
>>28588695
I originally went on /r9k/ because I thought it was funny. I used to think all of your terrible lives were just satire. Now I'm used to your shit and use /r9k/ for motivation of why I should never give up.
No revision, C1 maths paper on Wednesday. Feeling good about that, and the FP1 paper on Friday. Everything else is cancer so I'm probably just going to have a breakdown or something else after. Never did a proper exam, they didn't let me take my mock papers because I had a breakdown about 10 minutes before the first one because I'm an aspie wreck lmao
Last year before AS results, I couldn't sleep anyway. So I did an allnighter playing terraria with /v/. I was exhausted when I got my results but it made my disappointing grades less disappointing (BBCC, not as bad as I thought desu).
You guy up for an allnight terraria server before results day?
>>28589290
You do realize you're playing a dangerous game, Anon?
Some of us are trained in Gorilla warfare, yknow
How much revision does everyone do on average. I tend to do fuck all and have been getting C's and D's my whole life. Im not a dumb I just put in fuck all effort.
Doing AS maths, physics, chemistry and ICT
First exam is on Wednesday, C1 maths
Scared about the sciences, and I've got a fucking cold

>FuckYouTrev.jpg
>>28589294
Hey, I have C1 on Wednesday as well. It's... a resit. I have a clash with FP3.
It's pretty shameful. I'm really good at maths in terms of knowing what to do, understanding concepts and all that. But I am fucking shit at mental maths. I am nothing without a calculator, and that's why I fucked up last year.
I can do FP3 absolutely fine but when it comes down to doing addition or multiplication in my head, I'm either slow as fuck or prone to retarded mistakes.
>>28589361
I did shit all (besides from day before revision right before in class mocks). I started revising properly, with a daily schedule, at the start of May though.
>>28589361
I'm also on D's. I've done jack-shit. I could do so much better if I put the effort in.
Glad I finished with my A-Levels years ago, very stressful
Word of advice, in your second year retake as many AS's as you can, especially for maths. I retook C1/C2 and got 95%+ in both, which meant I didn't need to revise at all for C4 (which I was shit at) because I had a huge safety net
Only doing two and I'm still fucked

Yup, got 4 chemistry exams in the next 6 weeks - CHEM1/2/4/5 (AQA 2009 spec)
Did an apprenticeship in the merchant navy straight out of school now going to uni in sept hopefully to study chemical engineering. Taught myself a level chemistry in 3 months (AS+A2) and pretty confident I will get A/A* (need A to get in).
Chemistry is really easy imo, the maths is ridiculously easy and you are literally building off the concepts you learn first.

>>28589470
what do you plan on doing instead of uni? I really don't fancy going but don't know what else to do.
>>28589518
How mate, I just can't do it. I sit there like a wanker just thinking about nothing, if I could master revision I think I could easily get A's
>>28589815
Surely your college would be able to sort you out. That seems absolutely shit

It's only expensive if you buy bulk off Modafinilcat or whatever. It's about 15 quid for eight tablets 250mg. I usually take 50mg, between one to three times a week. It's fairly affordable.

>>28590050
The amount of socjus shit at Manchester is sickening. As rowdy and laddish as Harper Adams gets (and it has a mildly fucked up past) there is none of this shit. It's a manageable kind of degeneracy.
As for your minority points? Sure, not really sure how. Do me a favour though, when you get there check out the botanical gardens (known as the Firs). You'll have to do some asking around as they're a bit of a secret but I put many years into working to improve that place. The few good memories I have from that uni are mostly from there. I hope it's being looked after.
>>28589815
They're scrapping ICT soon as well. It's a fucking useless A Level and GCSE. Everyone in this generation knows how to fucking use a computer, we don't need baby boomers explaining how important it is to learn the fundamental in ICT A Level.
I'm sorry, mate. That bitch ruined your life, you need to get revenge.
>>28590129
It's about principle, plus I got a better deal for a better course elsewhere.
>>28590137
might be too late now, but you probably could've complained higher up
it's their fault if they lose your coursework
>>28590241
Yeah, that's ridiculous. Did they literally just tell you to get it all done in a week? Did they not have any remorse or tried to contact the examiners? What the fuck
Who else is trying to find an alternative to uni? Im not going to any uni under rank 40 and cant get into any above lol
Whats a good alternative? Apprenticeships are all shit except for like 2% but they all either require the same grades or are closed already
anyone doing AQA econ tomorrow???

Physics is hard as my fuck, especially AQA Unit 4. I can easily get As in Maths and Further Maths, but the mark schemes were the written answers are just so specific. I always word my answers slightly differently and get no marks.
The ISAs are even worse. Got U initially, did the other one and ended up with C/B but the class was basically whispering to each other for help when the teacher left the room.
>>28590349

Any you fags at exeter? What's it like? It's my first choice despite knowing fuck all about the place.

Yeah, my supervisor was fucking terrible. It was the first time she handled the EPQ so nobody knew what they were doing. I stopped turning up to the weekly sessions too since they clashed with my other lessons.
I just read Student Room and found A* examples online, otherwise I would've been fucked as well. The problem was that everyone relied too much on their actual essay, and neglected the production log, time plan (both of which I fabricated to pretend I started six months prior).
Sorry mate, your D really sucks. At least most unis don't even recognise the EPQ. I only did it for Realising Oppourtunities.

I didn't cry. Basically the friends I hang around with are two of the biggest nerds girls out there. I couldn't cry in front of them, I'm not a pansy. Both got AAAA. I got BBCC. I hung around with them, didn't really eat anything, then after I went home, I got drunk and played vidya until the next morning.
Crying is for pussies. Man up, anon.

I cried alone, at home, in my room like a MAN.
did anyone do that fucking ridiculous FP3 paper last year for OCR? the one with that obscene groups question that almost prevented me getting into uni
>>28590980
That paper was my mock. I got 23/72, the only questions I could even try were the differential equations ones

Really? Our Abitur used to be 3 years too until a few years ago, now it's 2 years but it's even a bit harder because they didn't reduced the curriculum alot.
Do the years and normal exams before count into your final grade too? Or is it only the final exams that count? Also the amount of people having A's make it seem easier than you say, in germany an A in the final exam is not that common. Overall average is mostly 2.3 (about B-)

when i got that paper the first thing i did was turn to the de moirve question and hope it was an easy one, obviously it was the worst fucking type
why the FUCK did they do a groups question about groups of groups. they were high on something when they set a meta-group question
>>28591031
Nope.

Average 90% in C3 and C4 in Maths and you've got the A* there. You can do it anon. There's a lot of overlap with the integration. Practice that and you'll be sorted.

Awkward manlet who just wants to get by. Manchester is full of drugs, which sounds great. Already done weed several times, looking forward to see how far this rabbit hole goes.
absolutely fucked myself with biology which i am just too stupid to have a chance with. wish i knew this earlier. english, psychology and maths are comparatively piss easy but biology destroys me. it doesn't help that the only people in my class are girls and indians.

It's pretty basic stuff.
Some Linear Algebra, some actual work with vectors, more calculus. A little bit on proofs, just induction IIRC. More mechanics as well, SHM, some rotational mechanics if you go far enough. Good prep for most first years at uni.
>>28590910
you trying to tell me that they do A level further maths stuff in American highschools?
>>28591091
Complex numbers, Maclaurin's theorem, hyperbolic functions, first and second order differential equations, etc.

yeah, diffusion is one of the easier parts because for the 2 markers it's pretty much the same as GCSE.
it's things like the 8 markers on how aphids suck liquids out of plants without using their jaw muscles that fuck me. something something cohesion.

It's slightly unconventional for a C3 question. That's all it takes to throw some people off.
Medics explains a lot I think. Medicine is all about effort, and by putting in effort you can pretty much learn A level Maths exams perfectly. Rather than having an innate problem solving skill. Actual mathematical skill you only really start to need in uni.
>>28590968
Lancaster. Don't know what to make of it desu. The open day was good and it's a good uni but it's a small place.

I'm fucking crossing my fingers for Plato/Ontological argument to turn up. Fucking easy A if that happens
>>28591360
what uni are you at? my 1st year exams are 16 hours in total, much broader, more indepth, require real understanding and application and to top it all off they have explicitly told us that if you want higher than 80% you have to read around the subject and just hope that its useful in the exam
>>28589696

They should reform it and make it advanced programming or something

The method I used involve making two rearrangements and then dividing them by each other to get the final results.
I don't know whether if you can just do it in one single rearrangement. I guess that's sort of why people struggled?
>>28591438
>80% in first year
why even bother? 40% is considered acceptable
I've got more than 80% in one assessment, all the rest are 60 odd

Computing or Computer Science exists thankfully, but most schools don't offer it as ICT/Computing teachers are generally pretty bad. My ICT and "computing" teacher at GCSE was fucking trash. She knew nothing and was just reading from the booklet. There was a group of kids including myself who basically taught the class what to do.

American here. Do y'all get free college and this is just to determine which school? Or do y'all pay more for better schools, so if you're a poorfag and get into a good college, you can still be fucked because you can't afford it even with scholarships and shit, so you end up sitting out a couple of terms until you can get into the local state uni that's known only for being a 'party school' when you wanted to go into medical research?

>>28591562
sin^2 + cos^2 = 1
tan^2 + 1 = sec^2
1 + cot ^2= cosec^2
Just convert everything and rearrange for sec^2 and you can get it out

College (free) = Vocational stuff
University (9000 per year for England, some shitty places are less) = Academic stuff
You pay university fees over the course of 30 years and it's so little you don't need to worry about it. If you don't finish paying it after 30 years it's wiped from existence. If you never earn more than 21,000 a year then you never pay any of it back.
Anons is it possible to get into a top 10 uni with no work experience? I can't find any relevant placements.

I made an order and sent payment on a Thursday. He posted it early morning Friday. Received it at my door on a Saturday morning.
In bulk, you can get it cheaper from India or whatever, but for speed of delivery and small purchases, this works.
Depends on the subject.
Mandatory for Medicine, helpful for engineering, any other subject won't give a fuck.
I got into Cambridge Natural Sciences with no work experience for example.
>>28591719
I want to do an electrical engineering. The uni I want to go to mentions work experience in their requirements for your personal statement as well.
