January is exam season for most if not all A level students and I think Uni students too. GCSE pupils maybe doing their mocks aswell. Anyone feeling the pressure? Realising you should've revised more? I for one have done the common habbit of not revising at all until the last minute, and will probably once again get screwed all over (Y). Release your exam woes here.

Hmmmmm, I do believe there's already an exams thread floating around the archives somewhere, I'll see if I can dig it out.

As for me I had all mine before Xmas so I don't have any at the mo.

Edit: Found the old exam thread - http://www.unofficialmills.co.uk/communities/showthread.php?t=7354

Our mock GCSE's were before christmas and they were good overall. I certainly didn't expect to get the highest mark over the year in Geography ;).

This week we have Science modules which are fairly tricky and tomorrow we have what has to be called the most pointless exam ever. In citizenship they make you all sit down in the hall to write up your coursework in neat, what's wrong with doing it at home, especially when most people do it on the computer and have to sit there for an hour.

I've got a thrilling 2 and a half hour English lit paper tomorrow. It's the only subject at my school which is doing January AS modules. For some reason, the department decided to make us do the WHOLE exam course in 1 term and sit the complete AS level exam now, so we've squished a year's syllabus into 1 term, with the benefit of having 2 whole terms to do 1(!) bit of coursework... It's barmy!

I'm currently doing AS Level and am lucky in that all 4 of my courses recently changed so that there are no January exams. This time last year I'd have had 4, now I only have 1 (General Studies).

There is a rumor going around our school that we have a general studies exam soon but it's never actually been confirmed.

I'm sure you did better than you think, some of my best results have been from exams that I was convinced I'd failed. And it's only a mock so even if you do fail it's not the end of the world, mocks tend to be just that little bit harder than the real thing to keep you on your toes.

You're good at Politics though aren't you...? Or am I thinking of a completely different subject? Nevertheless I'm sure you'll be fine :)

I used to be, I'm generally quite good during lessons, it's just this is the first proper exam I will have done in it (I did law at GCSE so wasn't worried about that too much), so I'm not too used to the writing style etc. That and I'm not quite sure how much I need to revise.

It was okay. Could have been better, could have been worse. I mentioned the RSPB about seven times.

In Politics? Glad it went alright though, I'm sure you'll be fine. We got shown past Politics papers today; uni exams really aren't what I thought they'd be.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing...? Some are better than others I find.

Oooh it's a good thing; a really good thing. 20% of the total mark is made up of us having to write down what ten abbreviations (such as DEFRA, etc) stand for, then 40% is for defining five political themed things (like pressure groups, for example), and then the final 40% is related to the section I've just described.

Not at all bad when I was expecting a GCSE History type layout! Not that GCSEs and degrees are the same, but I'm sure you get what I mean :)

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Rob86 · Posted

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.

      So pleased for Scott on his best entertainment show win. As much as I miss his R1 style, he clearly puts so much into his shows, well deserved and it’s a big two fingers up to all the abuse he has had since joining R2
