What is it that you do not feel confident with Tom? When you speak you seem to know what you are talking about.

Tell me exactly what it is you need help with and I can help. It is not obvious though what areas you are unsure of. Be confident...you know your stuff!

Ben, I will e mail the exam questions to your parents and ask you complete them at home under exam conditions.

I have some notes and info on the global games questions but really don't want to do the pysiology stuff! I'll try but don't expect much. Tom

Mr Ibrahim said...

Tom...be confident! You know more than you are making out. Stop talking yourself out of things. Be positive. You have covered enough work to do well in the mock. Remember, the exam is to see where you are at the moment and does not count towards the actual gradings. this will give us time to sort out anything you don't understand before we break up for xmas.
