Me too Liam, i have my first day (AS Eng Lit and Geog) on the 27th :cool:
I'm not too worried tbh, not half a s worried as GCSEs. I feel i have worked much harder throughout the course, and also actually doing subjects you chose means you at least have some interest.
AS don't drag o for as long as GCSEs(5 Weeks!!), mine will be finished by the 9th June, with a mid-term between my 2 exams detailed above, and the other 3.
Good Luck!
I'm doing my Leaving Cert. It starts the 8th of JuneQuote:

Not to rub it in but Im finished all my exams, all projects are handed in! woo hoo! :D
Lads all the best with the exams, don't stress out and you'll do fine!just do what i did and concentrate on getting well and truly ****ed when they're all over and done with!
ya just to echo aidos and superhoops statements, if i got to college anyone can!! i assume ye boys are well prepared, if you have done a bit of cramming then dont try and know a bit of everything, concentrate on certain areas and know them inside out.
anyhow good luck and remember when its over the relief is unreal. :)
Good luck mate! Aye mines eng lit to but I have a break before my Geography ones (must be a different exam board?)Quote:

I have Geography and Eng Lit on Friday, but my revision has been wrecked by finishing my Business Studes Coursework-about 40,000 words :eek:
All the best to takers of AS, A Level, Junior and Leaving Cert, Uni exams, etc
I started mine yesterday, finish next Monday.
Have Quantitative Techniques this evening....which reminds me :eek:
excuse my ignorance and stupidity but what do AS and GCSE stand for?? :confused: :o
btw finished my exams last thursday.all went ok bar 1 which was fair dodgy but what harm
Queens obviously didn't take summer football into account when scheduling exams
Exam last Saturday monring(missed Pats game), though Friday night was spent in the library listening to the Radio 1 stream and ringing people at the match.
Exam this Friday afternoon (1.30-6) which means I can't go to Cork. Have thought about getting the evening flight down from Belfast but if all went well I would still only get there at half time.
Exams on Saturday 4th(9.30-11.30, 2.30-5.30). Means I miss the Derry Drogs game on the Friday the 3rd, and then also miss the Ireland Israel game on the Saturday. Giving the amount of hassle I have gone to regarding the eL allocation I am pure ripping at that.
Only consolation is that I get the train to Dublin and met up with the others after the game, then fly out the Faroes the next day.
And it's me birthday on the 2nd as well :mad:
The QUBDCFCSC will be making a complaint about the scheduling of exams :D

cheers and yeah i found the month off we had a nightmare to study couldn't get any thing done but the night before an exam i used to study til about 2 or 3.30.then got up at 6 or 6.30 go for a shower and then study til the exam.it worked for me anyway.Quote:

best of luck btw.
I won't go to that extreme I'd say :D , but i really cannot do anything in the afternoons?! I'll wait until after dinner maybe, can have evening TV on in the background then. Problem with Geography is just the huge amount of work there actually is to know off by heart. An amount of stuff. I couldn't take it as a Uni course, just too much knowledge needed.Quote:

I would stop for lunch to watch neighbours and daignosis murder :D and then back to it.Quote:

Good luck :)
Geography on Friday? Same here!Quote:

Population is my favourite, we already did the Skills paper in January, so i've got only 2 hours of exams to do on Friday afternoon.
Good Luck
Are the GCSE's and the AS state exams??Quote:

AS/A Level= Leaving

i found if you were smart enough, you didnt need to do much revision.
no need for lectures either just get the notes off the lads at the end of the semesters and 2 weeks revision you will be grand.
none of this routine muck.
Each to their own, but I would rather be prepared and know i had worked hard and covered all my bases. Horses for courses I guess.Quote:
