my GCSE mocks are starting tomorrow and i am really scared, i have a maths non calculator first thing and i am terrified! i don't understand maths!!!!!!!!! *hits head on desk* oh no! precious brain cells! come back come back!!!! i'm going to fail!!! all i can hear in my head wen i try to revise is my maths teacher saying over and over "failure! failure! failure!!!!"

There are three kinds of mathematicians: those who can count and those who cannot.
Now, to which category would I belong?

ok, stay calm and try to think clear
you' ve studied it so you can do this... right?
though I tend to say something else from personal experience

You should get on of those little claculator watches and cheat!

lol

don't worry GCSE are just another hurdle in life.
JUst relax and have confident in yourself
And remember these ARE the best days of your lives so enjoy it
and good luck

I would say, you can make it with ease, you're smart enough

I don't worry about exams cus i know that i can only do my best on the day. As long as you study the main areas which you're not sure on you will be fine.

Ha I have one of those........somewhere
Oh and Cerm dont be scared.......you'll do great!!!
We have complete confidence

my tip for not failing an exam ---> just before the exam starts, go and hide in a closet somewhere and hope to hell that everyone forgets you exist, then go and live in Congo.

Don't worry about them I did them last year, it's not too hard...apart from the question we hadn't done in class...And it's only the mocks they're good for showing you how much work you'll need to do for the final thing.
Now if you want to be stressed you should be me...I've got my first proper, not mock they count, A-levels starting next tuesday and I need 2 B's and a C to get into the Uni I want in 2 years time. One of the subjscts my teacher's senile so I no smeg all. One's easy but knowing my luck I'll get too cocky and fair, one isn't a subject and I also know smeg all about (although unis don't accept it as an A-level if you get it so screw that) and the other one is Mathes which I'm OK at.
Oh and I have done little revision (80% on law, the one with the senile teacher)

lol

You will be suprised with the results when you get them. I hated math and could not do it, and now I am doing them for A Levels.

i did quite shit in the mocks but they are harder than the real gcse, and there is the percent for coursework to include... think i might do some proper revision for the real deal

Cheer up Cermie !

hrm. forgive my ignorance, but what's the GCSE? is that like the european version of the SATs?

CERMIE!! Don't worry about mocks WHATSOEVER! I got a low D in my business studies mock, and a High B in the real thing! Mocks are just to let you know what you need to work on.


besides exams are a stupid way to grade people, as how can a person you've never met grade your entire academic prowess on one hour and a half paper?

aw thank you everyone!!!! *lots of hugs*
i did my maths badly....i di the algebra ok but the whole thing with the shapes.....no.

i've just come home from my eng lang exam, i was so confused becuase there was this thing about Iceland. *deep breaths* calm....thank you you guys! you made me feel so much better

well, I'll help you out cerm!
shapes... er... well... on the Iceland ... hmm... well... er... I'm sure you did well

when you say shapes could you possibly mean geometry

circles, squares, triangles...?

Geometry

thinking

Isn't that what like the study of shapes is called
And then triangles is Trigonometry

*looks at the clouds passing by and is perfectly happy*

Just cuz you are on holiday does not mean you can't use your brain yerss

What is brain?

it's overheated at hte moment

from doing what
and Lance if you don't know then you prob don't have one

I never claimed I did.

probably i don't know all shapes!!

i got really panicky in my DT exam and when th4ey said five minutes i was so scare was like shaking!!

perhaps you were cold cerm?

maybe......but i was really scared!!! i just did RS and French......think i did ok..i wrote 12 sides for rs!!!!!

i start shaking when ever i have a test. I might faint when it comes to GCSE's.

GCSEsare so close!!!! i am going to DIE when i have to do them!!

You thin kyour GCSE's are close! My A-Levels are on Tuesday!

ive been there cermy!!!!!!!!!!
i know EXACTLY how you feel
you need a hug right now
*hugs*

*hugs back* thanks....i just had my physics mock today..........horrible!!!! why oh why did i choose triple science!!??

to annoy the living daylights out of yourself?

yes...that was it.......for self torture...

you know, cermie, sometimes you surprise me

why?

because I forget things

Everybody wish me luck tomorrow, I've got general studies, computing 1, and Law 2 (Except we're doing it before we do 1) and they're not mocks

good luck!! *hugs*

And I get out just after the bus is left so I need to wait an hour for the next one

i got to school today to find out that i'd forgotten my exam text so we ad to turn round...go back ....go home....then arrived just as they were starting my blog exam! eek!

but you got your text, right?

Well that was...interesting.

I mean my exams

...and the bus trip...

I got my Mum to come and pick me up

Exams make me so go http://images.killermovies.com/forums/moresmilies/Jumpy.gif
no good

and we just started

I know
but I' ve got everything under control

Just got Maths left to do

Just don't think about tests I find that the best and less stressful way is to say "who cares". I find that my grades are better because of that.

No joke

i have completely failed chemistry. it was an absolute joke. everyone started laughing when they read the questions. the teachers got so annoyed...........

however! i think i did ok on my maths calculator! yay! happy!!!

failed chemistry?

Quick cermie! to the laboratory! *runs off and smacks against a door*

first rule yerss.....solids are SOLID

Well, words of encouragement

Mocks are sooo much harder than GCSEs...you got nothing to worry about...and science double award (im persuming you're doing that) there is ALWAYS nightmare paper...when i took my mocks it was chemistry, but when i took my GSCEs it was Biology!! I still got an A and im sure you have done great...believe me

see, you're already learning

How was it funny?

unfortunately i'm one of those dumb people who took triple science .........so they're REALLY easier than mocks?????

thankyou!!!

i got a D in physics and biology, and an E (1 mark off an F) in chemistry

il need to do some revision

I got all B's in science....Why didn't I chose one of them at A level?

is that rhetorical

none of us could do it.....it was impossible!!


Burly - for whih exams?

mocks

i got an A* in ICT mock but it looks like I might get around a B cause our teacher is so bad and our coursework is shit

Yeah it was rhetorical. And for my IT we just had coursework for 2 years, no teaching. I got:
Final project - D
BSA - C
Exam - ?
Total - B
Nice

what is the ICT mock like? i have it on fri!!! we used to have a really bad teacher for ICT too!!! mrs warrington!!! evil evill.......we used to sing ompa lompa to annoy her

oh...does that mean Biology, Chemistry and Physic?

I had that too...but i was like in top group..or something

You seem really smart and academic, so you'll have no problem whatsoever!!


Burly> bravo!

really easy if you know your stuff
I was top of class

do some parts of the BBC bitesize
Hardware
Software
Data Communications
Databases
The Legal Framework


ta

all i know is that because i chose seperate i have to do an extra paper! mega unfair!!! i really am not smart....they put me in red group and i don't understand anything!! espec in chem....mayb it would help if i didn't stare out the window......and come up with bad excuses when my teacher yell such as "i was wondering about the chemical make up on the cells in the leaves miss, honest"....

HAHA!

It will all fall back into place once you see the paper!!

the real one?

I've got 2 FRENCH EXAMS TOMORROW AND I AM CRAPPING MY PANTS!!!!!!

awww
*hugs*

ok...

I'm going to fail! I'm going to fail! And i'm not attention seeking cus everyone in my class got below 20 out of a possible 30 on the mock tests today!!!!!!!!

thats not good

I KNOW!!! *CRAPS PANTS AGAIN* Its going to be sooooooo bad!!!

Oh and WE ARE IN TOP SET ASWELL!!!!!

Don't worry about it, mocks are stupid. I know someone who just joked around in them:

Science: Biology mock
1.) How do sheep get enzymes in them?
2.) Why were there gasses around when the Earth was created?

His answers
1.) Scientists spit in their mouths
2.) Because the dinosaurs kept farting.

He got a B at the end, so mocks mean squat.

HAHAHAHA!!!! Thats classic! Me and my mate couldn't be bothered to do the other mock paper so half way through we ripped up the test and started writing notes on it to each other while everyone else did it. We were on the same table though.

thats wierd...we dont take mocks. we just take the exam.

the mocks supposedly help you get the 'feel' for the exams. Man, i don't want to feel anything!!!!

its teh suckiest thing ever

its more like an omen, im guessing.

I've done the tests and i think i did quite well. The listening paper was solid but the reading paper was easy peasy. Teach said that the two marks go together so hopefully i have made up the mark with my reading test. Thank god its over. But now i have to do a 10 page english paper on 'How the audience is encouraged to engage and how themes are introduced in Act 1 of the play An Inspector Calls' for MONDAY!!!!

yay! happy happy! they are over!! and i am gettng results back...and they are GOOD!!! yay!!!!

*hugs*
see! I told you you would do it

thank you so much!! *hugs*

for saying you would do it?

oui oui!

it was my pleasure, m'lady *kneels*

you got ur results back alreadi??

apperently so

yes, our teachers marked them, so we got them back quickly...

that's their job

how were they?

I h8 exams. I am pretty certain i have failed my further maths A level exam! Its not my fault I cant do Mechanics!

they were horrible.....but my marks are good!!!!

You're doing mecanics...unlucky. They don't do it at my college as everyone failed, instead we're going to do desicion and discreet maths as the 3rd module.

Well i have done/am doing 2 discrete modules, 2 mechanics modules, 1 statistics modules, methods and 6 pure modules. I am just glad i didnt study english or history though. Just thinking of all those essays scares me!

my suffering will almost come to an end

is it already, storm?

kewl, when you finish?

normally she finished today
