As you might be already be aware of, I haven’t updated my blog since Spring, so its been a few months… oops?
As you can tell by the title I have one exam left. Honestly these exams have very mixed feelings. So the first half of term exams was like being stuck in a nightmare, especially Science. The Science exams… lets say for everyone was a nightmare, my exam board is OCR 21st century, so people who did this exam will know what I mean that it was a Faulty paper. It was just ridiculous – I even made a petition which read:
“Students across the country have spent the past 1 or 2 years studying OCR 21st century Science whether it be Triple or Double we all took the Biology 1-3 exam, this afternoon. And let’s face it, we all felt like Neanderthals with food stuck in our teeth – annoyed and disgruntled when trying to work out if Janes mum had the faulty allele. However one thing for certain was that we got a faulty paper. This exam paper was ridiculous considering in the text book there is little mention on Neanderthals and more mention of the Carbon Cycle and Nitrogen cycle, which meant that I (unlike Neanderthals) had no food stuck between my teeth at the end of lunch because I was revising. Examinations are even more pressuring than they ever use to be. Don’t give students even more stress and pressure with exam papers that hold no/little relevance to the subject or syllabus. This is our futures and your kids futures, all in one 60 minute paper. “
Honestly I loved how I had written this and felt that it was too good not to be featured on the blog! I even felt quite proud of myself!
However on the other side exams had been pretty good until Physics has completely beat me up today and by the looks of things the rest of the country, thanks OCR. Unfortunately there’s not much we can do now except make ourselves feel better by mocking the paper – which is enjoyable 😀
I have one more exam which is History – British society – which is a pretty simple topic and I have 3 days to revise!
That’s it really, and so I will be back and posting but that will probably be in a week or two once I regenerate… Thanks for reading ❤
