marshmallow

well accounting didn't go too well.. Left straight after, I hate analysing who did what!

Dante

Anyone else wanna join my failboat? Have done **** all study and I got English paper I tomorrow!

Did English paper 1 today, it was a nice theme and all the questions were fairly straightforward. I just hope the lack of structure isn't completely obvious in my QB and Essay. I thought I was being all clever quiting Voltaire in my functional writing piece, until I found out the girl sitting beside me did all the same questions, and also quoted Voltaire, so that's going to look pretty fishy!

I think I might have messed up the personal essay, I always took to it mean write about yourself. So my essay was all me me me, I I I, My my my. Very self-absorbed. I since found out loads of people did the same essay but just wrote about their take on the particular issue, not the issue in relation to them (which is what I wrote) whoopsies.

Great to hear that Ais. Just hope the same works out for me! :P

yesterday I had paper 1 and paper 2 with a 15 minutes in between.I felt ill after that ordeal.I'm fairly pleased with it but English is a hard one to call points wise.If anybody wants a heads-up give me a shout.I was supposed to have Irish paper 1,Irish aurals and maths paper1 today but our school is closed because of the snow.Oh well onwards and upwards as they say.:D

Futurism

My school,being the scrooges they are,haven't closed. So I missed Maths Paper 2 and soon enough,I'll have missed Biology.

Jammyc

Had English paper 2 today.
Wasnt awful! Put me in a decent mood to ehh, 'study' for paper 1 tomorrow!

Leejo

Anyone done engineering yet? How'd it go? I'm not too worried about it myself, concentrating more on the practical side of things now 'cos we're re-doing every topic from the closing date of the project to June.

BlindedByGInge

I'd just like to say that

I HAVE ONLY ONE EXAM LEFT HAHAHA

. :D Its Applied maths tho :mad::( X 236!!!!

Pigwidgeon

had maths paper one and geography today

maths was grand... but i did manage somehow to get 7 questions done in just over an hour, so i think it's either a really good sign or a really bad sign... i'm hoping good.

geography... i have never made up so much as i did in that exam, i didn't open my book before so should be interesting to see how i did!

pureirishsugar

found maths horrible, eng paper1 was lovely though, i had seen a good few of the essey titles already from actually exam papers, and the images were all from the sunday times magazine, nice seeing something familar

chem tomorrow though

It's paining me not to look at that spoiler Jammyc
I have English paper 2 tomorrow and have done sfa yet. Not looking forward to trying to learn of a heap of crap later!

Today was English Paper 1 and Maths Paper 2.
English Paper one was grand. I would hate to be the person reading my 14 pages of absolute waffle though...

Maths Paper one was awful, as was expected. Everything I didn't know was there. I hate not knowing formula, when the question would be so easy if you knew it. I also learned a heap of proofs and not one of the ones I knew came up. All in all, maths was a complete shambles. I'm glad I don't have to see another sum for 3ish weeks!

What a fitting user name you have, so!

The teachers are usually sent on both, and they choose the one that they think is better/ their students are better prepared for/ whatever.
I got a pretty even mix last year.

RE and English 1 tomorrow, my first exams. At least I don't have to do any study for English 1, so I can concentrate on RE tonight.

W and X are just variables meaning they could be any number. All that they were looking for you to do was it leave it in the form of say:

2+3i.

Which is in the form w+xi.
