    Why not try these websites which might help you understand it more:

    http://www.s-cool.co.uk/topic_principles.asp?loc=pr&topic_id=24&subject_id=4&ebt=254&ebn=&ebs=&ebl=&elc=13

    I use http://www.sparknotes.com/ which helped me understand the poetry I was doing because my teacher is not all that great either so have to teach myself most of it!

    Hope this kinda helps :)

    Anybody else with General Studies 3 tomorrow?
    Me :)
    What are you thinking of revising for this? I actually have no idea what to revise for General Studies :confused: I have mainly been focusing on my Maths as there is no way I can pass M1 without going over the entire module again.

    Good Luck ;) to all members taking their exams and studying for them. It is rotten that exam time comes around in the summer. I took mine in 1976. A scorching hot summer.

    Had my French oral today! It was quite good, really. Really basic set-up about a tennis tournament, and leisure activities. Some things I screwed up, but I did most of the grammar well.

    It was interpreting, by the way. It's like an imaginary conversation between two people, neither of whom speaks the other's language. You have to orally interpret for them. Harder than it sounds.

    Wednesday is my German one! :O

    I have my french oral tomorrow.
    I had my Tempest exam earlier. It was quite easy, managed to write 2 sides which is more than usual and it was about the lovely Miranda, and the relationship she has with her father. I think I may have started waffling for a bit though and I didn't follow my plan at all :(

    Good luck with German oral, two languages would make my brain explode, it was hard enough at GCSE

    Anyone here got General Studies at 13:30 ?

    I'm not looking forward to it - the mock papers were terrible revision.

    Yeah I have. We barely got any past papers so I'm just going to have to see how it goes.
    Good luck.

    Our past papers had had the sources removed 'due to copyright restrictions'!

    Good luck to you also :)

    Wow, I thought it was a pretty good exam! I'm so glad that two out the three questions were geography related!

    I think I had a different one to you. Mine was all about families and working parents.

    Good luck to everyone who has got exams today. I've got my psychology investigations paper :(

    Hey there!

    Did anyone here do the AQA Computing CPT3 exam on monday?

    If so then what exactly is the 'Program Listing' we were supposed to have done? No-one in my class had any idea what it was, not even the teacher.

    Geog exam next tuesday :eek: really need to revise my case studies!!!

    Good luck everyone!
