Mock exams coming up
Well, our mock GCSE examinations are coming up and I am actually going to have to do some revision. I’ve been very studious and got a timetable ready plus brief words on what I intend to do for each subject. We have some study leave which makes the xmas holiday period longer so I have plenty of time to get things done. Because I can’t read the rubbish I’ve scribbled down over the years I intend to use online revision for almost everything. Wish me luck.
On the subject of this blog, I’ve realised that I really am not going to get anywhere with posting real comments like all these hip blogs nowadays, simply because I don’t have enough time to read through everything in the newspaper. This is partly because I don’t have enough time in the library and also due to competition from others for accessing it. This is a serious disadvantage. Ah well, looks like my dream for this blog is far away :\ Additionally, I’ve been considering the possibility of once again expanding this site to contain things other than the blog. But, what? It’s difficult as I don’t want to break links so I think I’d have to make a new design and incorporate the blog into that, as I’ve had before. Or, I could dig out one of the old designs and use that. This time, I’ll go with a simple design that will actually work – right hand navbar, header, text or something. Usual CSS system, I suppose. It’ll be v3!
I remember when I moved my blog from /news to just /; I still see some people hitting /news when they really want / but it’s too much of a pain to figure out how to stick a conditional (if user hits /news and nowhere else) notice on /news telling people to go to /.
You could probably do it with .htaccess if you’re running Apache:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^news$ / [R]
…or something
Nooooo… mocks
You’ve just reminded me about mine – unfortunately we get just 19 days off over Christmas, and no extra study leave. Still, even if we had more time I’d probably not revise (procrastination…). Good luck!
Good luck to you too, you need it far more than I due to my better revision situation
However, I love exams so that’s not too much of an issue with me. Coursework is evil.
Yeah – I suppose I really should start, and will do in the holidays (when I block myself on wikipedia or something – though that wouldn’t work
). Revision for exams is easier, for me, when under comparitive pressure (I couldn’t revise months in advance, but the days before is fine – like for my biology GCSE last year).
Well, at least there’s no maths c/w anymore on the IGCSE
Good luck in yours
Yeah, it’s strange. Further maths next year, go lots of pure stuff beyond all comprehension!
