Have the trig proofs ever come up outside question 6? If they haven't then I'm definitely not doing them, I can always make a decent stab at the other option for that question seeing as we've covered it fairly well. I don't recall seeing them in the papers at all. I'd be kicking myself if they came up with a construction as one question though, I can pretty much do all the constructions in my sleep! (Doing DCG actually has it advantages.) :eek:

@HistoryKitten someone mentioned them coming up in question 6 but I've never seen them there. :P
@YeaaahFaoiSin exactly! Hopefully they'll be nowhere on the paper. 0 -

Never seen them in 6 but sure yeah they don't have any proper layout yet so expect the unexpected crap .. Personally I think we will get loads of proofs this year for p1 and 2 :P I have my own little predictions on maths done out in my notes@HistoryKitten someone mentioned them coming up in question 6 but I've never seen them there. :P
@YeaaahFaoiSin exactly! Hopefully they'll be nowhere on the paper.
I wouldn't freak out bout it though if you're given proofs you can make them up as you go along if you know the jist of them 0 -

STILL can't get my timing down!
I'm seriously freaking out I can't get any English, Geography or Home Ec questions done in the allotted time!
I'm not gonna get the papers finished because of the fact I just physically cannot write fast!
Best thing to do is start bullet pointing the **** outta your answers when you've got ten minutes left. Proves to the examiner you knew everything asked of you it was just a matter of running out of time. Should pick up some extra marks! 0 -

Cultural nationalism, treaty negotiations/civil war, social problems in britain/germany inter war years
Same for documents, katanga makes very little sense and india is so easy0 -

What about Stalin's show trials? Yes I've heard economic and social problems during the inter war years are likely too. Would love to avoid Sunningdale it's far too political, Coleraine would be bliss! 0 -

Geography is the greatest subject everrrrrrrrrr My answers are only 1 and 1/4 pages long and my options 2 and 1/2 :P I had 20 minutes to spare in the mock and people were just looking at me like what the fuuuckkk :L
But yeah, it's such a handy subject!0 -

History is way worse at least 4 pages in about 40 mins and its not just laying down facts its bout discussion and arguing your point and laying your paragraphs right so it flows. its always changing you should see our ridiculous documents :P id kill to do geographyPictureFrame wrote: »
You should try Geography. Absolute joke of a subject. An essay (albeit about 1 and 3/4's of a page) has to be done every 12 minutes. Hate it. And to make matters worse they've started changing the exam structure and adding in weird bits and pieces into questions that no-one has ever seen before. Between it and Hamlet i'll actually die. GahhhI think English will be my only time demanding exam.
I can't think of ideas quickly enough in that exam. 0 -

For geo I just RUSH the shorts, then I might do the option first afterwards, then rush the A parts. My teacher advised us to pick questions then do the atmosphere question first, then write on a rough sheet anything that comes to mind on your chosen core/elective questions. Might or might not do it in the exam, just thought yous might like the tip.
Oddly I dont think I was under time pressure in geography...I write like a maniac when under that kind of pressure. Then I go back once the damage is done and rewrite the words that are impossible to make out :L :L0 -
My last exam is Chemistry and I have about 5 days to study for it. Would ye suggest doing a little bit of work now but mainly leave till them days??
Its just its hard finding time for it atm!
If there's anything in it that you really don't understand it'd be worth looking at it now so that you get it. Then you can just revise over those 5 days rather than having to almost re-teach yourself certain aspects (which is what's happening to me with chemistry at the moment!) 0 -

Well at the moment I feel pretty good with Chemistry but I worry that I would have forgotten stuff by then :P I think I will just keep doing 30 mins a day of just looking over stuff so it is fresher in my head! Ahh..So much work...So little time..! 0
