I have university exams...they start on 19th but I am still REALLY scared

I've got my Higher and AH exams at the moment. Had my first one last week and am now totally panicking about AH English which is on Wednesday.

Good luck to everyone else.

I have Media and Poetry on Tuesday and Wednesday then I'm done until October! Yay!!!!

Had one AS exam already. My other exams are on the 20th, 21st May and the 2nd June - all in the afternoon luckily for me.

Ah yes there is always something nice about having exams in the afternoon Mine are too.

I hate afternoon exams..

So do I Nicki. Thankfully all but one of mine are from 9-12.

Oh, I have half and half I think. Either 9.30-11.30 or 2.30-4.30 ergh!

Yes, at least it'll mean I won't have to get up at 6 in the morning on an exam day.

I've done my french aural now.
Have physics on monday and then they all start. Arghh.
Never leave revision to late minute, not good!

I have my Higher English on Thursday.
I'm not looking forward to it.
At all.

My GCSEs start a week yesterday
Well, apart from french speaking and terminal task

To be honest though, right now I'm more scared at the thought that I only have four more days left of school in my life!! Exams in general aren't worrying me so much, I don't find them too bad, but the sheer amount of stuff I have to know for History and Geography is a bit scary
Good luck to everyone else doing exams

First exam on Tuesday on Differential Geometry! Wahey. Not. I've got one on Saturday too which is pants.

Just realised I have 6 hours of exams in one day on Electromagnetism and Quantum Mechanics...at least it's not Quantum and Fluid Dynamics on the same day, because that would be taking the ****

*goes on little trip down memory lane*

Lucky for me exams not until October (Open University) but I remember this time of year well when I was a proper student so sympathise. Also remember the joys of Saturday exams and my boss complaining about me having to take time off work

Anyhoo, good luck to everyone it'll all be over soon and then

Haha, I wish it would be party time. I recently got the nomination for the EPSRC research studentship so I am supposedly doing some extra learning over the summer. However my potential supervisor has different ideas, and hopes we will do enough work to have an article published...the prospect of having published something before I've even thought about writing a thesis (which I will do eventually) is pretty cool, but I am guessing there needs to be substantial effort put into it...

Well done on the studentship I won one of the Carnegie undergraduate scholarships and had to spend the entire summer in the Uni doing research as well (it was actually on Dirac monopoles and fibre bundles hence my love of differential geometry) but it was really worthwhile (money was terrible but I was working full time in the evenings anyway).

I never did get anything published as a result except in the Carnegie library or something so I'm in awe. Just think - you will get to have a proper publications section on your CV - that is soooo impressieve irrespective if you stay in academia or go into industry.

I'm sure there will be time for some partying though

Good luck to everyone doing the dreaded exams. Best advice I can give is to do plenty of revision beforehand, get lots of sleep the night before each actual exam, and try to stay relaxed during the exam - panicking never helps!

Hope to hear lots of wonderful results in a few weeks time!

What texts are you writing about? This will make me sound odd, but I really enjoyed the Higher English exam last year, so I hope yours goes well for you! Do you think you'll take English in 6th year?

Nice to now that I'm not the only one spending a sunny day looking at words like Dirac, debye, quantum, 3d wave functions and probability distributions. My supervisor only gave it to me on Wednesday and he goes away for a month from next week.... so I'm frantically trying to get it finished before then. At least there isn't an exam in it afterwards, but I am having to translate it as I go. And it's the last chapter !!! Yay !!!

We've studied Hamlet and Wuthering Heights and 4 poems; "Assisi" and "Visiting Hour" by Norman MacCaig and "Afternoons" and "Ambulances" by Philip Larkin.
Hopefully there will be a nice question on Hamlet and a nice one that I could do for Assisi!
Which did you study?
Nope, not planning on taking it for 6th year! I'm taking two foreign languages to Advanced Higher, though!

We did Othello, Iain Banks' 'The Crow Road' and 'The Death of Marilyn Monroe' by Edwin Morgan. About a week before the exam I realised I couldn't remember Othello in enough detail so didn't revise it at all and thankfully the questions on prose and poetry were great!

Is it French and Spanish you're going to be doing?

My first exam's on Wednesday week - M2 (Edexcel).....!

I'm doing that exam... My first one is German (OCR) on Friday though...

Dirac is currently at the bottom of my pile of paper, and I intend to keep him there for a bit longer

Christoffel symbols...ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! *runs away*

Nope, French and German
What subjects are you doing this year?

Ah, right! I'm sitting Advanced Music and English and Higher French and Latin. What else are you taking?

This year I'm doing Maths, English, Music, French and German, all Higher.
Next year I'm doing Advanced Music, French and German!
What are your plans for after you leave?

Should I be worried that I have my A levels this year and don't actually know when any of my exams are.

I should really find up my exam timetable!

I have a general studies AS exam tomorrow, Spanish oral on Tuesday and another general studies on thursday! Then next week i have 3 hours of Spanish exams on Monday, 3 hours of French exams on Tuesday and then 2h45 of music on Thursday!!

Advanced Music is amazing, IMO. Especially the specialist study.

Well, I've been offered places at Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Stirling University...hoping to do Music and English at Aberdeen, if I meet the conditions. Almost wishing I'd planned a gap year though.

anyone else have psychology investigations (methodology) today?? it was OCR
I guess it was ok, could have been better but could have been much worse
core studies 1 and 2 on Friday!!!

Done it ! I got rid of Dirac, Debye en co, and my supervisor has marked it all so that's that finished !!
Now to do a ppt presentation of interdisciplinary science projects, the problematics of teaching wave- particle duality and I can hit my mini thesis and last few themes.

Am slightly worried. Have my GCSE Maths next Monday ( fluffed up my maths last year ) and can't get anything higher than a D... I need a C...

Uh oh. -intense revision been going on recently-

What did anyone think of Higher English today? I thought the close reading was fairly straight forward and the essay questions were good for the titles i was writing about.

Done french aural, physics and rs so far .
Sports studies tomorrow.
Really should go revise hehe!
x

I heard that the paper was about agriculture - makes last years' paper on libraries look interesting!

I had AH English today - I was sooo pleased when I saw that the Janice Galloway question was on 'gender issues' as I'd mainly been focussing on the role of women, particularly in Scotland, and the media's portrayal of women.

Psychology AS (OCR) tmoz!!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Music (OCR) and Citizenship (god knows...) tomorrow. Anyone else doing them?
Good luck everyone

German OCR tomorow....
Good luck!

Had two exams by tonight. So hard...wasn't expecting it to be easy anyway but just didn't thought it was this difficult (I don't usually stay for the whole 3 hours to do the exam!)

Computing is tomorrow

I've spent the whole of today learning the whole course pretty much from scratch Fingers crossed, that will have done the trick

Good Luck for everyone else doing exams

[color=#330033]Hows it going everyone???
I had spanish OCR today!! anyone else do it??
the translation and listenings were [b]SO[/b] hard!!!!!

Geography exam tomorrow...

Car Expert

Arghhhh

I know!! Tell me about it Mind you, that was once we'd found enough tape players and an invigilator!



Need a hand? My MSN is on my profile (Or it was last time I looked !)

I've got Music on thursday and then my two other subjects the week after, but so far everythings going well =)

I have AS music on Thursday too Are you with edexcel?

I had Spanish on monday, and Frech today which were both fine, i think ... then after music i've just got LAtin and Greek to worry about

Snap, I've music on Thursday , the listening will not be pretty.... Before that I have mechanics to deal with, then statistics, C4 and physics afterwards. Joy!

Higher French tomorrow , Advanced Music on Friday .
