Can't get A+ in AS exams (Why is that?Anyone know?)
I have Geography and Eng Lit on Friday, but my revision has been wrecked by finishing my Business Studes Coursework-about 40,000 words

All the best to takers of AS, A Level, Junior and Leaving Cert, Uni exams, etc

[harpskid]

I started mine yesterday, finish next Monday.

Have Quantitative Techniques this evening....which reminds me

[ollie]

excuse my ignorance and stupidity but what do AS and GCSE stand for??

btw finished my exams last thursday.all went ok bar 1 which was fair dodgy but what harm

[MariborKev]

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

The QUBDCFCSC will be making a complaint about the scheduling of exams

Revision is a nightmare today, i just can't focus on "Water on the Land" or "Population Dynamics" Give it a break for an hour or so and i hope it'll be okay. Anyone else find it hard to revise at certain times of day/night?

I won't go to that extreme I'd say , 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.

I found I had to be really disciplined. Its a case of getting a routine and sticking to it no matter what. I used to get up normal time 8am - Get up have breakfast, watch TV for 30 mins or so. 9am, i would sit down and revise. Every 2 hours i would have a 15 minute break. I would stop for lunch to watch neighbours and daignosis murder and then back to it.
then I would stop for dinner, allow myself to watch eastenders or corrie or something and then do 30mins more and then have a few hours off in the evening. Best tip i was given was to read over everything i had just done when I came back off break. Reinforces it in your mind.

Good luck

I don't like Soils either. I mean in all fairness what kind of topic is it anyway?!
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??

[jofyisgod]

Yeah, although to do AS/A Level exams, you must stay in post-16 education.

Roughly-GCSEs=Junior Cert
AS/A Level= Leaving

It's the biggest pile of pish ever man. It's basically just maths.

Now, have an exam on Company Law at 2. Collective rosary to be said for me

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.

the amount of times i was told to make a timetable was unreal and i still didn't make one.i'd always plan to have a routine like the one above but failed badly to put it into practice.i'm a disaster.but when the pressure is on like as in the the day or 2 days before the exam i could do loads.i suppose all this just means that i'm a lazy fcuk.

btw what is post 16 education?
and do AS/A level carry the same/more/less points as the leaving cert or whats the craic?
