    I was wondering would it be silly to drop to pass maths today i'm so scared that I could fail it and then that would make the work I have put into other subjects a waste of time. Is anybody else thinking of dropping today and is the course very different at ordinary evel

    If you've made it this far, chances are you can pass the paper. How did you do in mocks, practise tests etc?

    your name is cool as f***.

    GL OP, don't drop down on the day, OL might be tricky like last year.

    I have always been getting around 50-60% in class tests and in the mocks I got 48% and then in another one I done I got 52%. I am just really scared that it might be a hard paper since the last two years have been easy

    Don't even consider dropping to ordinary level, it's just your nerves before the paper. Once you open the paper & look over it you'll be fine , and once you start the paper your anxiety will leave you. Don't forget to let us know this evening how you got on . Good luck .

    If it's a hard paper, it's a good thing.

    You won't be the only person in the country finding it hard and it'll be marked fairly liberally.

    Yeah I probably shouldn't drop at this stage. I'll just try and attempt everything and hope for the best. Thanks for all your help and good luck to everyone today
