Halfway done!
So: my exams are now halfway over, some of the biggest ones in terms of revision are out of the way, so I'm going to do a breakdown of how I think I'm doing so far in each subject.
Latin:
-Translation went okay- not brilliant by any means, totally flubbed some bits-but I did that in my trial and got an A in that section, so who knows? I reckon I've got either a high B or low A here.
-Poetry comprehension went wonderfully- the bit that came up I knew tip-top pretty much perfect: as a result, this, which I was very worried about failing completely, has been one of my best exams so far. I got a few bits a tiny bit wrong, but that's a few marks out of 60- not a worry. Prediction here- A*, maybe A if I've done much worse than I think, but that's unlikely.
-Prose comprehension didn't go quite as well as the poetry, but it went better than the translation and there's a lot of easy marks to mop up here. Pretty much a good, solid A.
-Coursework is A*, I reckon- I know it's at least 80% and it's very likely to be more.
So: final prediction for Latin? My reckoning is: A, a high-ish A, maybe an A* if I'm lucky.
RE:
-This went pretty well; I felt I answered erery question fully, logically, and effectively. However, the mark scheme here is brutal thanks to a combination of paired marking and a 90% grade boundary. Still, it did go well- A* but that's not a definite, maybe A.
RE there's only the one exam, so final prediction is an A*, possibly an A if I've flubbed some questions, but I thought I managed to do okay on this regard.
Maths:
-The first Unit, the coursework, I got an A* in, way back in Y9. Can't remember too much more details right now though.
-The first exam, which I retook recently, I got a solid A* in- it probably won't compensate for a lower A, but it certainly won't pull my average down.
-Stat. coursework- my only A, a high A, and this is only 10% of the course.
-Stat. exam- got a A*, eesay, which provides an average of an A* in Stat. overall- but it's all modular, and the Y11 exams are 50% of the course.
-Non-Calc. went amazingly. Surgically, which is when you are so sure of the answers that you could get any mark you want just by surgically answering the answers. I am 99% sure that's an A*, and possibly full marks if it went as well as I think.
So, for Maths, I still have the Calc. paper to do. However, I really only need a high B to still get an A* here. If I do even close to as well as I think Non.Calc went, definite A*. So, that's my prediction for that.
English Literature:
-Not sure about coursework here, as I'm not sure which ones were English and which ones were English Literature. I got mostly A*, but I got an A in Under Milk Wood which will be literature, so I'll say an A for coursework.
-The exam went solid, not super amazing style but pretty damn good all the same. I hate these interpretation questions because there are no answers, really, but I did my best and used my extra time to my full advantage. I'll say an A, though, to err on the side of caution.
That means a solid A for English Literature, which reflects well my interest in the subject. Fingers crossed an A*, but I doubt it.
Biology:
-B1a/B1b were both nearly full mark A*'s. Not sure what it is in UMS but it won't be too low. This is an A* here, and a high-ish one at that.
-B3 I know exactly, 92 UMS marks, A*, but a low one. I can't count on this pulling up my mark much but it's there and done, which is the main thing.
-B2 I did today. It went... alright, I guess. I think I may have gotten my plant minerals confused and I had no time to go back and check any of it- however, ultimately, the grade boundaries are very nice here- I need to lose 12 marks to get an A, which I'm fairly sure I haven't done. So, I'll say A*, but I'm not absolutely sure of this.
Overall then, in Biology, an A*, I'm fairly certain, a low one, maybe a high A if I did very bad today, but I reckon I did alright. So, A*.
Round-up of estimates:
Latin: A/A*
RE: A*/A
Maths: A*
English Literature: A
Biology: A*/A
Which is pretty much on target so far. These are just estimates- no way of telling till August. I may cry then, I may laugh- I'll certainly compare this post to my actual results.
