Starting next wednesday, I have Business, Irish, french, english, science, history, geography, cspe and maths tests over eight days. D:

Like 14 summer exams in the next 2 weeks. And no, I'm not confident.

I've got 6 - I'll simplify the data for you:

History Unit 1 - This unit is about humanism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Reformation/Counter-Reformation, Zwingli and Anabaptists. Obviously the exam isn't going to cover EVERYTHING, though. I'm expecting a C but obviously I'm aiming high. I was pleased to find I'm recollecting and remembering the whole unit quite rapidly and lucidly. I feel ready.

General Studies Unit 2 - I got an E on the first unit, like most people. But it's a load of crap. There's not many points for creativity and flair - although we didn't revise even vaguely the right criteria. I want the highest grade I can get, obviously, but either way I'm not that fussed since it's a wee qualification that isn't even recognised by a lot of universities. If I get an A that will level out my grade for it as a C... Satisfactory. But again, meh.

English Language Unit 1 - I got a high C overall for my coursework. For the exam I expect a grade C or B. I don't quite feel 'ready,' but I'm going to do the exam the best way I can. My way. Obviously. (This unit is between Language, Language and Power, Language and Technology and Language and Gender. I have to choose wisely on the latter 3 (which are optional)).

Sociology Unit 2 - The big daddy of the AS Sociology course. This one is almost twice as big as the first unit, but I got a B in that one without even being initially entered into the test. I asked to be entered in the first unit and only just managed to get it - I was working at a U grade and I was forecasted for an E grade, but now that's out the window. I'm expecting a B, which overall will give me a solid B.

Media Studies Unit 1 - I got a B for my coursework which I was quite chuffed about. I was very worried - I had a nervous breakdown, even, when nearing the deadline. I lost sleep, fell into some traps and I wasn't happy with the finished product. Well, not all of it, at least. Ended up getting an alright 62/80 in the end, which wasn't too far from the highest in the class. This exam involves us watching a video, three times in total, making notes then answering several questions about it and then doing a question about case studies.

History Unit 2 - Basically this is about democracy during several different times in several different places. I'm not too savvy on this unit but I have longer to revise for this one and I'm confident it will all stick. Lately my mind has been hungry for information and life and girls. I expect more or less the same like the first unit (which I haven't sat yet so who knows.)

So far it seems as if I'm going to surpass my CCCC alps for AS or at least meet the target. The things I need to revise the most are:

-English Language and Media Studies terminology

-English Language/Media Studies/History theorists/historians - which I need to apply in my exam. Quite a hassle for me to be honest, but apparently I need them for a good chance at getting an A grade, so they must be very helpful. The trouble is I haven't made an attempt to mention these kind of people in my exams at all. I haven't mentioned them at all. Zilch. Nada.

-Case Studies. I have quite a bit of time but, not even I can blag my way through this without thorough knowledge of a case study. I actually need to look at this. It's barely 'revision,' - it's more like first time studying. And to be honest I'm not completely certain on my case study. But I can't afford to be indecisive.

-My handwriting. It's bloody awful. Examiners and teachers are fairly good at reading it but I swear I'm losing some marks from it (probably) - I probably did lose some in my General Studies test which I'm convinced I wrote when I was high. I remember writing it pretty wildly.

The three other Irish ones are lucky not having GCSE yet

Well same thing basically

You guys are lucky xD. I have four exams a day, on both Thursday and Friday after half term. They're only my end of year tests though. We're apparently supposed to revise over half term though, but nobody will xD.

You younger ones are all lucky. I have a Spanish Writing Controlled Assessent which is 15% of my GCSE grade tomorrow and a maths module on the 2nd and a RE one on the 5th or so

I did alright in the french oral. 6/10

Oh I remember the French oral I did last year and 2nd year. Full marks in both lol.

Well I think learning a few questions and their answers off for 25% of your Junior Cert is quite handy actually.

We just have to listen to a CD for 40% of the french exam. Take that!!

\o Same here.

@k That's the worst in the class so far xD

lmao You're lucky HB, the two orals we do only add up to 30% together. Another 30% for two writing and then 40% for the paper with 20% for Reading, 20% for Listening. Sames for Spanish
