    Every day this week I am planning to do an essay plan for English because I think that it's one of my weakest subjects at the moment!

    On a side note I seem to be the only person who seems to be completely shocked by the thought of doing 8+ hours of study a day, even with frequent breaks my brain just can't cope! I know is not about how many hours you do but let's face it, the more time you spend studying the more you are going to get covered surely?!

    English over phew! I was quite happy with paper 1 rushed question Aiii a bit but I am always stuck for time it's an achievement for me to just answer every question!

    P2 hmm not happy :( definitely lost purpose marks in poetry and Macbeth because I only half answered the second part of the question. Like there is always kinda two elements to the questions but I didn't answer both parts equally! And the comparative don't even want to talk about it... Did the two part cc question, part a page and a half part b two really awful pages of nothing! I didn't have enough time at ALL

    Hopefully praying maths goes better!

    So maths! I was happy at first but now looking at the maths thread and answers I'm not so sure... Worried about the marks being front loaded because I actually got more of the part b's and c's rather than the part a's where I made really stupid mistakes. I think I'm looking at at B3/B2


  • Registered Users Posts: 148 ✭✭tianna


    So an update!

    Maths paper 2
    I'm happy with how this went, a lot better than paper 1, a few unnecessary mistakes as always...stupid exam pressure! B1 I'm praying!

    Biology
    Definitely my best so far! I'm not going to over analyze it like I've done for everything else to keep me sane! I don't want to get my hopes up but maybe an A2!

    French
    Happy with the aural thought it was easy enough. Except for the first question on the last page I mixed up incendie with inondation so I said fire and I thought I was really smart for getting it :( Comprehensions for the most part were fine. Had a nice bit learnt off for equality and phrases for the journal intime but I feel like there were probably spelling and grammar mistakes in the first question. Overall pleased probably a B1!

    Business
    I honestly have no idea how it went, I'm just so glad to have it over with!! If I had, had more time I think I could have done really well but was rushing through it to get it all done. Wasn't my best work but not bad, guess well just had to see! I'm gonna predict a B2.

    Only music left in 6 days time and then I'm free :)
