Anyone else here have AQA GCSE English Language today? If so, does anyone else know people that forgot to check the information leaflet properly, and ended up doing questions on only the front-cover of Item 2? I can't imagine how anyone does that, but I'd say a good quarter of people I spoke to did.

Not that I know of

I know some kids who skipped question 2 because "3's the one with all the marks"
Had geography as well, went better than expected

My friend did that, but he's the only one I know of that did it. That paper went alright actually, but Geog has kind of wiped all memory of me doing that paper away.

Geography was alright as well, bit rushed and I missed the last Case Study but enough for a C I reckon, which will do me fine. I had to make up a couple of case studies as well.

History tomorrow, I'm going to do rubbish in the knowledge exam but the sources paper is easy enough and my Coursework is strong.

I'm bummed for history tommorow.

What're you revising?

Superpower Relations (Cold War basically) and USA during the womens and black rights movement. Got to remember each of the meetings for superpowers stuff, what happened in them, who was there, when it was (down to the month in most). I haven't even touched on USA during the 50s yet.

You dealing a lot with McCarthy and McCarthyism/red scare then?

[Exxy]

Yep, which we haven't covered in about a year

[Red Devil]

McCarthy = Twat

Basically, he fed off people's fears which worked because anyone who opposed him didn't want to be labelled a Communist for risk of being investigated and losing their jobs. This forced people to conform in the 1950s where McCarthy got weaker due to many Republicans supporting EIsenhower and his increased desire for more media coverage leading to more outlandish allegations.

Had A2 Maths C3 on Monday. Wasn't too bad, nasty stationary point question though

Computing CP4 on Thursday. Should be okay apart from the algorithm question near the end, boo!

[Corazon de Leon]

McCarthy was a scumbag of a human being. He did more than anyone else to fuel the fires of the red terror in the late 40s and 50s. Black rights movement is strawberry float easy, just remember the major events, the Montgomery Bus Boycott, the Topeka Board of Education ruling etc, and it'll all come back to you. Interesting fact - Martin Luther King and Malcolm X were the inspiration for the characters of Professor Xavier and Magneto of the X-Men, respectively.

I've got a final exam at 12. Czech Language.

Hopefully once this is done I just have Biochemistry and Physiology to and I'm done for the summer.

Immune Response & Disease yesterday went okay. Surprisingly enough (being a microbiologist) I avoided the question of HIV and AIDS and did the one about xenotransplants. A question on vaccines came up as well, which was nice.

Bioethics tomorrow. 30 minute exam, bullet point answers. Not sure I can really be bothered to revise for it.

How did you find it? I thought section a was hard and section b was easy?

[Madness]

Section A was alright, i thought. We weren't allowed to see the question though until after the clip was finished cos the examiner was a thick bint, so I made notes on all the wong stuff.

Section B was slightly trickier (convergence we covered once in class) but I think I did alright.

Finished my last exam today

Probably the best of the six I had, there was a question on the Dutch Revolt which I looked at for A-Level and based part of my essay on, so I got to write a massive essay on why Spain failed and why Philip II was so unbelievable useless, the other question on American riches to Spain was also rather nice as well, so hopefully I'll get a good mark.

[Red]

I have finished! Unfortunately it's all caught up with me and I've had a splitting headache since yesterday and can't celebrate
