I'd say there are quite a few people on this forum who're about to take public exams over the next few months, so this can be a thread to discuss the tears, tantrums and stomach turning before, during and after the exams.

I'll start...

I take my Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics 3H tomorrow, AM. Anyone else starting so soon?

When you say "public exams", what are they? Is this different to school or college exams?

Its been a long time since I took any kind of exam. Don't think I did very well with mathematics. I found it a terribly dry subject, and although I could do it I just couldn't bring myself to care.

Exams taken nationwide as opposed to internal school exams.

What's really scary is that I'm eligible to mark for Edexcel. And given their reputation for excellence I'm sure NOTHING would go wrong.
