Well at least your doing the new science syllabus,ours is alot harder :cry:

I'd rather do the old course. I've seen mock exams and mark schemes and the writing is so shoddy, I'll be suprised if anyone passes. It's not about scientific knowledge, it's about opinion, and your opinion has to be their opinion to get the mark.

They've completely dumbed it down and give marks out for regurgitating the answer, but scrimp on marks based on knowledge.

I know a lot of people probably aren't gonna appreciate me saying this but GCSEs really are incredibly easy, especially compared to A-levels. When I started at college I took GCSE Spanish from scratch with hardly any knowledge of the language whatsoever and I ended up with an A* at the end of the year. So don't worry, chances are you'll ace your mocks and probably the real thing.

So save the last dance

For me my love 'cause I

I see you as an angel freshly fallen from the sky...

That's really good!

I'm doing the same as you, except I'm doing Italian, not Spanish!

everyone....

good luck on your exams! just relax, dont be nervous. bring your IPod or CD player so you can chill with some relaxing music beforehand. try listening to Jonn Serrie, that will relax you. http://vipinfo.com/jonn/ You can download his music and burn a CD. I turned all my friends on to Jonn Serrie. They all love him. Or if thats not your thing, go to your music store and buy anything from the Real Music label, lovely relaxing music. I believe they do sell those CDs in stores in your part of the world. the day of your exam dont worry and stress about it, think of something happy. when you get ready to do your exam just close your eyes and take deep breaths. focus on the questions not your stress.

I have to learn a whole french presentation by tuesday,rubbish.

ah nasty, i remember GCSE days. could be worse... all of my orals have needed to be in both languages obviously. so at GCSE (incl mocks) i had my french one day and then my german like the day after. thats no fun.

and with last year my ASs. French and German Mocks right near each other, aint nice.

However you will be fine! You get in and out and don't know what you were worrying about! They go a lot quicker than you'd think!

Saying that, orals are probs still one of the language exams that i like least. Ive realised they arent as bad as i thought they were though! Good luck with yours, you'll do fine!

    • The shows surely being driven for him so all he has to do is talk between the tracks and he can’t get even get that right 
    • I thought the same to that comment, the license fee is going on me babes 
    • What with Jamie Laing, now him. Is it time for a new Head of the station?
    • He also just said coming up we have brand new segment, I thought they were a band 🤣 how did this man get on Radio 1? Aled needs his head testing. It’s an insult people who deserve to be on the radio 
    • Of all the times not mention capital it's probably now? Jordan is flying on breakfast with chris & sian and there's a presenter on friday and saturday that doesn't know who a main r1 artist, tldp are. Mentions capital which surely has to be a big no no given recent events and then says the licence fee goes to me. Talk about vom. We can't have it on here no more as it's that unlistenable and I'm about to switch back for m&m, but this is a Maya Jama x50 level mess of a show. Forget fading the microphone down, the entire show needs fading down
    • As positives go, at least Danny said what the last song played was and upcoming song played was. Plus I guess in that link are perhaps ideas for content (asking listeners to come up with bands from things around them, things that have happened to them this week). That's where's the positives end. It comes across as no thought has gone into what Danny will say next. It gives me proper flashbacks to some Jamie Laing links (especially that one show where he was unexpectedly solo). It's ironic that for all the duos and trios on the station - the one show and DJ that is positively crying out for another DJ to help show them the ropes is left all solo. At least with Jamie Laing they learnt their lesson and he's not been left solo since.
    • How he was just faded out at the end of the link reminded me of the Oscars music fading you out 
    • RPReplay_Final1713612277.mp4   You’re welcome
    • At a time when Radio 1 has surely lost listeners to Capital at Breaktast you’d be trying to protect the station so people switch back.  Certainly yesterday I didn’t switch back to Radio 1 at all.
    • Was abysmal…Surely Danny can’t be a contender for anything permanent when the new schedules are locked in I.e Matt and Mollies slot 
    • Alexandra Burke creating the phrase 'Elephant In The Room' whooooooooo
    • Zane Versus.... Whooooooooo. Do You Do Fridays? WhooOOOooo.  
    • The Capital Breakfast show is right up my street so far - such a fun listen. You've both been great on Radio 1 and are sounding excellent again on Capital A few quickfire questions: You've both been part of some great pairings on radio and on podcast - what goes into making a duo or trio work and sound great on air? Also, Chris - were there ever any discussions about you moving over to Radio 2 with Scott or had the Global offer already come first? Also how do you both go about managing that split between your radio 'you' and the private 'you'? You share a lot on air but also there's some understandably some stuff you keep private (famously Jordan doesn't 'talk about those things'). And how do you make sure if you're having a miserable day or are a bit low that it doesn't come across too much on air?    
    • What a nightmare link at 11.15am this morning. Spent 30 seconds waffling about the name of The Last Dinner Party as if he’d never heard it before, then started mentioning Capital and the license fee, and how it’s been used to pay for him to be there, and was then cut off by the start of the next song.
    • Have been reading this all week. She's such a brave woman. Just got to the chapter where she explains why she missed Scott's leaving event at Radio 1. She talks about leaving Radio 1 because her mum's health got worse, and wanting to quietly leave radio at 44 just how she first arrived on the airwaves at 18. Worth a read!
