I started my GCSE's this week and I was wondering if anyone else has exams coming up or has started any. If you have then how do you think they went?
I had maths and English literature this week and I think they went ok but I know I did rubbish in some parts. Thank goodness for English coursework to bring my marks up. :lol:

I am in year 10 - I finished my RE Short course exam a couple of weeks ago.
I have 3 science exams coming up in June and I had one Science exam in January (I got a B).

I'm in the middle of AS Level exams at the moment.

So far I've done an English Literature exam and two Physics exams. I just have Chemistry and Biology to go.

Good luck with your exams, by the way.

I'm completely done with school, I took my exams in the beginning of May. I studied so hard for 3 cumulative exams for Cognitive Science, Calculus, and Organic Chemistry. The Cog Sci and Calc ones werent bad but the Chem one was really hard, like I nearly died during that test, but still ended up with a B in the class which was pretty good considering the average grade was like a C/C+.

After the half term I am doing about 3 GCSE exams (I did my other ones early), then I've left for good. Yesterday was my "last" day, very sad too, we had a leavers assembly in this church and loads of people were crying including me, I didn't think I would though.

I'm doing my AS Level exams at the moment.

I've already had 6 (5 of them were last week). Here are the grades I think I might get in them:

13th May - Geography: Global Challenges - B
19th May - Geography: Geographical Investigations - C
20th May - Maths: Core 1 - A
21st May - Physics: Physics on the Go - B
21st May - Physics: Physics At Work - B
22nd May - Maths: Core 2 - A

Then on the 3rd of June I've got both Chemistry exams, one straight after the other (Oh God).
After that, I've got a Decision Maths exam on the 17th of June.

6 days til finals. Finals are so much easier than real tests because they want to grade them quickly so they do lots of multiple choice.

Yes, we did 'Physics on the go' and 'Physics at work' too.

Finished finals three weeks ago. Ended up being mostly B's with a couple of A's; one final bumped my final grade up a letter, but had I scored a point lower, I would have not went up a grade and all the effort would have been futile.

That being said, my friends in high school start their finals this week.
