maths 3/4- wish i had done more past papers and studied more on specific topics

chemistry/physics- i was pretty much confident most of the theory part much not so much on prac

I only had 4 externals during the exam period. So plenty of time, so I was fairly confident

Hmmm
English adv- Knew my texts inside and out, but looking back could have been a lil bit more prepped for certain bits!
English AOS- Yeah, all good. Memorised story etc, was way confident.

Ancient History- I didn't prepare much, but it comes naturally for this subject so I felt happy enough

Modern History- Prepared a lot but felt very unconfident... Modern just doesn't stick in my mind

Drama- Over confident I think. Such a bludge and only worth about 30 percent so blah.

Religious- 1U, v happy to do it, felt confident enough.

English extension- Memorised an 8 page story. Memorised quotes. Felt very nervous. Easiest exam of them all :D :S

I dont think i was confident for any of my Exams, but i got prety lucky most of my exams were alrite like the Economics essay i was luky enough to be tested on somthing i know too well... and others like Maths Ext 1 i was so unprepared. I remember planning to finish the MAths exam first then try my best to study Ext 1 that night. I ended up spedinig half the time on Boredofstudies discussing about tht maths exam... lol

I was pretty confident with 2 unit, not as much with 3 unit maths though.
