One More Exam Till FREEDOM!

So this has been a intense week. By intense.. I mean.. borderline loss of sanity intense.

I had 5 exams crammed into 4 short days which has been, in all honesty, HELL.

These exams included my latest maths module Core 4, I came out of the exam worried that I had bombed out on this exam and failed at an epic level. I had a browse through The Student Room forums and it turns out that I didn't do half bad!

Physics latest module was Tuesday and that actually was a nightmare. I crammed a whole years worth of notes and books in one night and thought I had pulled it off. I came out the exam feeling confident.

This is possibly one of the worst feelings when coming out of an exam, although you don't stress about it because you think you have done well.. the reality of it is that you actually may not have done so well.

I again decided to look through student forums at the results and my heart sank as read answers off. I really hope the grade boundaries are changed and there was also a fault on the paper. One of many of this years exams to contain a fault.

The question was given in centimetres although in the diagram of the question the same measurement was given in metres. Surely they can mark one right and the other wrong when it was the exam boards fault!?! If I lose marks for it then I think heads will roll.

Yesterday was Further Pure Mathematics 1st module, this was a resit from last year and I should have completely flattened that paper. With having time to learn it all again and sort out the kinks from the last paper I was able to finish the paper with plenty of time to spare and check everything thoroughly!!

Also on Tuesday was General Studies, it is a compulsory subject in my school and it feels pointless, it is good in a way as it can give people extra points towards university, but the lessons for the subject involve sitting around talking or watching documentaries on subjects that may not even be tested! The exam is random and you cant predict the questions on the paper and so have to hope that you have some knowledge on the topic! It was a 2 hour exam and my longest one. With being involved in all the number subjects I don't have much time to write and practise essay skills... this is a major disadvantage to those who take English for example! But I will just have to wait for the results in August to see how it went!

And today .. was THE hardest exam I have ever taken. Further Maths Pure 2nd Module. Those words have been haunting me all year and today's exam has gone as expected! I was expecting a crazy hard exam, and that's what I was given. I managed to get through the whole paper giving working out and calculation steps and the occasional answer so hopefully have passed the paper!

But on the bright side..

MATHS AND FURTHER MATHS AND GENERAL STUDIES A LEVELS ARE OVER!!

3 down.... just Physics left, but at least I have the weekend to nerd up on it! and a party Friday and Saturday! should be fun.

Going to need a few of these things. ( image from http://revimgs.bevnet.com/media/monsterenergy/monster-can2.jpg )

We leave for Bulgaria a week on Monday too! so I have a crazy schedule over the next few weeks

Desperate Times Call For Desperate Measures

Dear my faithful followers, and more than welcome newcomers,

With the pressure of exams really hitting me hard. Also the realisation that I have 5 exams in 4 days next week. I have decided to hang up the gloves, or my mouse and keyboard as it may be, and stop with the blogging.

Dont worry it will only be for a week or two, by which time I will have plenty of stories and fun things to post up. So in the long run I am doing my faithful followers a favour instead of drawling on pointlessly about nothing.

I have my school prom shortly after the end of my exams and then from there it's all about our lads holiday in Bulgaria!

Should be a laugh with nearly 20 of us going, hopefully we all return in one piece! touch wood.

I will probably have the rime after the exams to pop another post or two on, but that's just a maybe!

I will see what I can do for you.

See you all soon

Love
Jay

First two exams over!

So after a hard night of revision... which I didnt really do much of!

I kicked off the start of the exams this morning by sitting 2 of my 12 to be taken over the next month, most people complain about sitting 2 or 3 exams... but hey what can you do!

I am pretty happy todays exams, they both didnt seem as bad as I thought they would be

Its the final push to get into university at the start of the new school year and so its vital I do well in all of these exams.

So now I can just kick back and chill out for a week or two until the next one!

I am back!

So yeah I only just realised I had a blogger after attempting to log in after browsing random blogs!

Thought I would use it for the reason I intended to .... two years ago... and blog!

But at the moment with it being the night before two of the most important exams of my life.... my A levels .... I really think I should keep it short and sweet!

I have two exams at 9 am in the morning and so have to be confined to a small room for three hours. not fun.

But hey after tomorrow it will be 2 of 12 exams completed!
