ivilkillu Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 Now i know why people complain about how easy GCSEs are they really are so simple. Chem this morning actually a piece of cake, biology before was a joke....what do they expect of us, I'm predicted 8 A*s and the rest A's got A* in Maths a year early as well as an A in French last year hehehe. In addition I'm doing additional Maths which is rather harder and worse than AS and AS French which is okish. Currently flying through exams though and only 7 more to do.

Currently flying through exams though and only 7 more to do. 586072778[/snapback] I agree, my A Maths was a C5 :'( Didn't study enough for it. But my AS Pure Maths I felt was perfect. I got an A overall with Statistics being C (I changed to Mechanics for A2). It's A2 Pure Maths that is the problem now. It's becoming a pain in the arse, but with plenty of study it's easy to get through. Dont underestimate the power of Past Year Questions guys, they help ALOT! I had to resit my Physics AS and after doing one whole book full of AS paper MCQ's and Objective questions, I breezed right through. I got a D before :s. Reflecting back, I really did very badly for my AS Module...

FloatingFatMan Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) If you guys think your GCSE's are hard, just be gratefull you didn't have to go through the horrors of O Levels!!! Course work didn't apply to those... The entire percentage of your grade rested on the exam, you didn't get any help from your coursework at all! I don't know if any of you saw that program on Channel 4 (?) a while back where they put some modern kids through 1950's style school? All were predicted good results in the GCSE's, all got truly DREADFULL results in the mock O levels they did! The exams are definately getting easier! I don't blame the kids being more stupid though, it's the quality of the teaching that's dropped and you poor kids are suffering because of it. :no: For gods sake, if you get into college, study hard or those A levels are going to kill you! :wacko: Edited June 16, 2005 by FloatingFatMan Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311422-gcses/page/10/#findComment-586073597 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivilkillu Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 The point is they aren't hard at all, well except perhaps the shear length of writing you need to do in the time constraints in History and English Literature, and Triple science isn't that rare three of the seven classes in my year do it.

My teachers agree with me on that so its your word against a teachers there.The exams are getting easier but thast because the government wants more people to pass them. 586073616[/snapback] Well, my mother-in-law is the head of foreign languages at her school, and believe me, the material on the national curriculum is a LOT easier than it used to be. It's not the quality of how it's taught, it's the material they have to teach you... A question (as it's been 20 years since I was in school), during French/German/Spanish lessons, are you permitted to speak English? When I did French, from the 3rd year (year 9) onwards, English was not permitted in the classroom! My in-law says yes, in her class English is allowed (and it would be impossible to teach otherwise). She's the one who tells me the material is all watered down compared to the old exams, and getting worse by the year!

FiREFLi Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 (edited) 586073321[/snapback] u sure the answer is 2cm? 586073371[/snapback] Currently revising for my Further Maths A2...Using ratios and the fact that there's two similar triangles: 9+3 : 3 12 : 3 1/12(12)(6) : 1/12(3)(6) 6 : 18/12 6 : 1.5 It's 1.5cm - It'd better be because these A-level things are hard :| Turns out it is 2, as I first suspected: 9 : 6 = (1/9)(9)(12) : (1/9)(6)(12) = 12 : 8 = 9 + 3 : 6 + x = 9 + 3 : 6 + 2 Thereforel; x = 2. Got *ABBBBBBBCC for my GCSEs :D - If you think you're good at maths doing GCSE you just wait for AS maths... it's a big step. A2 is just rediculous. :laugh: Edited June 16, 2005 by FiREFLi Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311422-gcses/page/10/#findComment-586073718 Share on other sites More sharing options...
munashii Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I did the [international]GCSEs a few years back. They were extremely easy, if you paid a drop of attention in class over a few years then it should't be a problem, just revise your weak spots and you'll be fine. I got.. A*A*A*A*A*A*AABB, may have a spare A or B, but I did have 6 A*s. Would've had an A* in history as well, but DHL lost our package ! :cry: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311422-gcses/page/10/#findComment-586074562 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunatic Posted June 16, 2005 Share Posted June 16, 2005 I majorly bummed out on my GCSE's, but dont despair, im now a Sgt in the Army, with an HND, my problem at school was that i was to immature to realise the importance of the exams. But i have still got qualifications that surpass A levels. So dont worry, but please do realise the importance and impact that this will have on the rest of your lives. BTW i earn 30K+, so not all is lost if you do poorly, but my advive is try and do your best. I always thought that maths was a black art, but now i have studied it in depth i realise that it was something that i could have excelled at at school, had i applied myself, my time at school was wasted (by me), my only regret is not realising it at the time. But having an HND in Building services HVAC, my world has opened, but my reason for this is the Army giving me the chance to proove myself. During my HND i have endured more information overload than i could have possibly thought, but i now realise, the thing holding me back was me. I wont wish anyone taking exams goodluck, beacuse luck isnt what exams are about, good preperation and revision is what will get you through. Remeber the 8 P's. Prior Planning and Preperation Prevents **** Poor Performance. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/311422-gcses/page/10/#findComment-586074949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
