Amazingly enough I kept my calm during my GCSE's. My friends were worrying SO much and the worst part is when you get OUT of the exam and they keep talking about it...

One of my friends wouldnt shut up about the fact that in our German Listening exam, the voices were a bit muffled.

The worst one was media. We had to do 2 one and a half hour exams.
But in our mock exams, it was 1 three hour exam with no break...

But i got them out of the way this summer (for the smarter ones out there you'll notice im 16) and now i can relax... till A Level that is...

I used to give my teachers fits back in school. For some reason I would get at least B's on most of my exams, and I rarely ever studied for them. I just made sure I understood things enough during the rest of the week in order to pass them. But what got me was I was lazy; I would never do more than I felt I had to in order to pass the weekly quiz. I hardly ever did homework unless I had enough time to finish it at the end of class after all the classwork was done. So in those classes where the only aspects of your grade were from the quizzes and homework I'd either ace the quiz or get like a B, but since I wasn't turning in any homework I'd get C's and D's lol. Used to drive them nuts.

If I had the sort of drive that I do now that I've been out on my own and working for 7 years, I wouldn't have been such a lazy bastard in school lol.

Urgh, exams and coursework are like...blah, their everywhere. I do my mock exams next week, or the week after, i forget. I have to maintain my A/B grade in them too to be entered for the higher papers in june.

Maths, Science (chemistry), English, Pe theory, Geography, History, French reading, French listening and French speaking. Already done two Drama exams this year, and got an A on part one of two of my RE GCSE

English is the mock exam i have to ace though...but thats to shut up the fat woman who calls herself a "teacher"

And me and Jake are totally going to fail Chemistry

since Adam and Lucy do all the work for us XD

Okay, so what was the worst exam that you had to take?
Wow, the worst? That's a difficult decision. Not because there have been many bad exams, but because I can't remember the last time I utterly hated an exam.

I guess French at GCSE. I hated the subject, and I knew I'd do badly. I was positive it would be my worst grade - and I was right, although I passed with a C. I also wasn't too happy about History, since I revised for the wrong exam 'til a couple of hours before, but I somehow passed with an A...

Do you hate exams or do you love them just because?
I love them, to be honest, especailly when I know the answers! I enjoy a break from school work and always find exams to be a refreshing one. It's so much different to being in lessons and listening to a teacher talk at you. You get to write for a set amount of time about something you - hopefully - enjoy and can talk about. You have the opportunity to show what skill you have, and to try to write something that will later engage and interest the examiner.

I just dislike revision and getting results! The exams themselves are usually good, unless I know I'm failing and can't do anything about it.

Okay, revision isn't TOO bad. I just never feel I've done enough, and there's always more and more to do, but I sometimes enjoy having my future in my hands. I like making notes, too, for some reason.

Do you think exams as your most hated enemy or your 'grade' friend?
Haha, neither. I think exams are just exams. They're not something I long to have, but I don't fret over them either.

I hate exam time. 1 week of just exams for every single class, trying to remember what I learned at the beginning of the year, and all the new stuff! Whats hard is when you have 2 different exams for the same class on the same day! Thats right, after you finish one exam, I have to take another one!
