Title: Rate your QCE exams out of 10!
Post by: Joseph41 on October 23, 2020, 04:16:19 pm
With QCE exams kicking off soon, I thought it would be nice to have a place to rate your exams out of 10 as they come and go. When each exam finishes, use this thread to reflect on how you think it went.

Good luck everybody! :)

English: 7/10
Methods: 7/10
And I think methods exams were actually harder than mock ones.

English: 7/10 (Burial Rites, Q.b)

Maths: paper 1: 9/10
            paper 2: 5/10

I got biology coming up next, I’m going into the exam with 50/50 so I am hoping to achieve well with this exam too!

I wish everyone the best of luck!

Done with bio!

If I’m honest, I think I went a bit worse than I hoped I would, I would rank them:

Paper 1: 8/10
Paper 2: 6/10 :/

I know it’s still good and I’m going in with great internal marks but I kind of disappointed myself considering how much I studied.

I’ve got legal coming up next, I’m going into legal with 71/75 so I’ve got a good start, hoping to get at least 19/25 to hit that 90/100 :)

Hey Guys,

Sorry for the late response but here's how I think I went during my exams:

English - 7/10 - Hamlet (Question B)
General Maths - 6/10 - definitely could have revised some of the topics a little bit more.
Biology - 5/10 - not too confident about this exam to be honest - it was more Unit 3 than Unit 4.
Modern History - 4/10 - while it's usually my favourite and best subject, for some reason I had an anxiety attack during my exam and I didn't get to finish all of the questions so I know that I probably won't do as well as I hoped.
Literature - ?/10 - King Lear - my Literature exam is tomorrow so I'll keep you updated.

Hello,

Having anxiety attacks during tests can suck, it ruins your entire rhythm, but if you say that it’s your best subject, I am sure you are just underestimating how well you actually did, history exam is out of 75 right? So if you got some good internal marks, the exam should not affect you too badly.

Good luck on your literature exam :)

5 down, 1 to go! It's pretty annoying having French on the last day - my motivation is pretty much gone - but at least I've banked lots of points from the internals.

Maths Methods: 6/10 (and I'm aiming for 60%)
Legal Studies: 7/10 (some of those questions were so weird and unexpected)
Chemistry: 4/10 (so hard, I just hope the bell curve works in my favour)
Literature: 7/10 (the question wasn't too complex, but my answer could have been stronger)
Study of Religion: 9/10 (my best one by far, and the more difficult questions used a context I had studied luckily)
