Any linguists out there??? Do you have to understand every single word to do well in GCSE Spanish? I can normally get the gist of stuff quite well but my vocab isn't fantastic. I was the only person in Spanish today and my teacher and I went through two past papers and I have a page and a half of new vocab to learn.

I couldn't say for Spanish, but in general, no - one of the skills of being a linguist is "getting the gist" and working out meaning from context. I was still doing that in some instances in my 4th year Russian exams.

Remember that depending on the particular task you have to do, you don't always need to read in detail/understand every word: getting the gist of something is a skill in itself

31 May - Analysis
1 June - Aural
2 June - Counterpoint
3 June (a SATURDAY!!!) - History of Opera
5 June - Harmony
6 June - 20th Century Music and Ethnomusicology
7th June - Keyboard

with the exception of Keyboard, which is 5 minutes, they are all 3 hour exams...

methinks this calls for muchos celebrations afterwards... or at least until i find out that i didnt pass any of them!!!

Then perhaps you'd like to help out around here today. There's a stack of washing-up to do, and we need to get ready for the early(ish) morning customers who will want tea, coffee, toast, toasted teacakes and possibly some Danish pastries.

Or do you have revision to do?

Yep me too! Need to revise every subject though - from the fifth to the fifteenth or so I have an exam every day...

There is one TMA for block and 3 and 4 combined, so a little respite right now. Its due in on June 20th so things will start hotting up soon I guess.

I think the OU swot has done her's though

I feel left out. No exams for me.

But I ought to learn all the piano parts I'm required to play for my pupil's grade exams, and in the case of my Trinity pupils, gem up on their pieces to help them with their musical understanding section.

I suppose that's revising of sorts. The I've got a concert programme to write, and a sponsorship contract to sort out. The there's the Tax return.

So even without exams, there's enough to keep me busy.

Just think when you lot leave school and college deadlines still exist!

See? You're gonna do fine!
Have you got a doctors notes so that you can get special consideration?

Rainbow

May 25 2006, 10:04 AM

I'll hopefully be getting one for Monday because that was when I was worst. I would really like to actually do my Spanish exam in the gym with everyone else today (instead of in the exam office) but methinks that might not happen........

Good luck - sometimes with Maths, things just click!

The amount of English I have to do is huge! Less so for Tony Harrison and Antony and Cleo, but for Jane Eyre, they could ask you to talk about any chapter. I made chapter summaries on paper, but only got up to chapter 14 so have scrapped that idea and just reading and annottating the book. Only 24 more chapters to go

Tony Harrison question - I am either going to somehow do ok or really badly!

Antony and Cleo, the closed text, it depends what they ask, but I think I have to do 2 questions for them - GAH!

Eeek, that sounds awful! I never have to do English Lit again, thank goodness!

The thing is, that Sociology had literally so many facts to revise, I have had to leave English. I enjoy the subject, but not the teachers

I did medicine through time for GCSE History. Plus the American West.

Am off now, will be back in about 30 minutes when it'll be lunch time (and maybe a 1 hour break...might have to be a bit shorter)

Any ideas for lunch?

Rainbow

May 25 2006, 10:24 AM

Sandwich, omelette, salad.......

I don't think I'm going to be able to eat anything!

I'm pooing myself about the thought of RE. I completely forgot about it till yesterday, so I've done zilch revision. The revision guides are just scaring me!

Rainbow

May 25 2006, 10:30 AM

Good luck with it, when's the exam?

isabelsmells

May 25 2006, 10:33 AM

Friday, first thing in the morning. Theres a revision lesson straight after Spanish, so I'll go to that and then cram tonight probably.

Rainbow

May 25 2006, 10:35 AM

I've got Humanities paper 2 tomorrow morning - not good!

isabelsmells

May 25 2006, 10:37 AM

I cannot wait till they're all over. I was really motivated for the mocks but for this, I'm really not. It's quite worrying really.

Rainbow

May 25 2006, 10:39 AM

I'd better go and make some lunch and work on my vocab list. Mucha suerte, adios!

Try and eat something...even if it is just a yoghurt which you can slurp down. Revision break will be shorter today, I didn't mean to leave it this late, but I couldn't have done much else differently.
