Sweet revision time

   It's also a matter of finding out what teachers want. Originality seldom pays.. especially in subjects you think it ought to pay, like English Lit or (in my days) Philosophy. Unfortunately, GCSEs are only there for you to show how well you've learnt tricks taught by others... Good for those who haven't got an opinion beyond "what's cool" and "we hate chavs"    (yeah, I kept well away from that one, please guys and girls, GROW UP!) 
Basically, play the game by the rules - it might be a stupid game and you haven't been asked to agree on the rules, but everyone is in the game... You might as well win it!

	bit late now by the sounds of it, but any of you ever used a 'spider diagram'? put a small box in the middle of an A4 page with the name of the main topic in it ... put 'legs' extending out from it to ovals about half way out from the centre, one oval for each sub-topic ... extend 'legs' from each oval and write short key notes above each (a few key words) ... include one leg for each thing you need to remember: a math formula, legal case names, aspects of Heathcliffe's character, anything ... use capitals, rather than lower case, they imprint better on the visual memory ... the first time you build a spider on a topic you can refer to study notes ... use capitals rather than lower case ... keep spiders on your worst topics by the loo, etc, for those quiet moments ... you can even listen to your MP3 good luck if you're still in the thick of exams!

	aaaaaawwww - getting all emotional about leaving school I can't wait, and I've got another 6 weeks!! But seriously, it is weird to think that you'll probably never see half the people you'd consider 'friends' again, unless by chance or something. Good luck for your last exam!!!

	Don't worry about it. I met up with a crowd I used to go to school with 23 years ago through friends reunited. the only thing we had in common is that we all went to the same school. Really crap evening, none of them could drink properly and they all tried to impress each other with how big their mortgage is. Mind you, managed to give one of them a good slap that had been due for about 24 years, so maybe it wasn't such a bad evening after all.
