...they actually played the song out loud!

Man, we couldn't contain our laughter. :lol:

[Tom]

Lol omg :lmao: I do music too, I would fail the test if they did something like that. I wouldnt be able to concentrate :toofunny:

Would you say the exams were how the teachers told you they were? Or were they easier/harder?

This was 5 years ago for me so its hard to remember but I know I was extremely nervous, I shouldn't have been though really. What subjects do you do?

So you've only got like 2 months of school , we've got about 5 or 6 weeks

[Nirvana]

Ahh i've so failed i've got 3 left and one's today at 9 am it's 2:06 now and im just on my laptop listening to music and i literally haven't revised a single thing, Hope its going well for everyone else

[raz2911]

Im on study leave right now, my English exams in an hour !!! :worried: I don't like how they've spit in two now, so year 10's have to do half now and half next year, but I guess its better than doing them all at once :)

Yesterday was a tough one for me. had a 2 hour statistics exam, a French speaking exam and a Biology exam.

Good luck everyone taking them this year :)

[Nirvana]

Lol i was late to my first english one on tuesday, then i sat in the wrong seat and today was a total failure i got so bored and couldn't be assed to put any effort in

[raz2911]

Really, I found the 2 english papers quiet easy for a higher paper TBH, don't want to jinks it though, but fingers crossed we all did well :)
The only one I'm worried about is my statistics one, but that was only a mock so it doesn't really bother me...
Next one for me now is chemistry on the 16th, better start revising tomorrow I guess :(

[LindaC781]

UGH!! That sounds worse than ALGEBRA!!

[raz2911]

UGH!! That sounds worse than ALGEBRA!!

:lol: I find algebra easy actually :D

I'm doing my A-levels this year. I've been stuck in the 17th century all week trying to remember Shakespeare, Blake and Duchess of Malfi. That's my first exam, I got law and psychology after which I feel okay about, its the english literature that's worrying me the most. I tell you, I regret not studying like this for my GSCE's, I couldn't be bothered, but now I'm older and wiser (hopefully) and I know how important exams are.
Good Luck to everyone who has exams, GSCE's, A Levels, ect.
Keep revising, hard work pays off in the end!!
Good luck peeps!! xxxx

I managed to sneak Michael into my English writing to explain/describe/inform section today :) It was a question asking me to explain why or like/dislike celebrities.
He helped me get an A* in my English speaking & listening so hope the magic continues with today's paper!
