Exams

I've got 6 coming up, three AS resits and three A2's. IT a week today, followed by english language and then PE resit. followed by the other three. not looking forwards to it.

Now or never i suppose.

 

oh for the days of a-levels. best years of your life gentlemen. but put a bit of effort in. they arent as hard as you think, but youll regret it if you **** them up.

got my first round of real uni exams starting next week. which shouldnt be too bad. the difference between just about passing and doing the best i can is 3% of my overall degree mark, so pressure is off.

 

Couldn't disagree more. School was utter shyte and it was the happiest day of my life when I left the place. I couldn't wait to get out and get to work. I sometimes have flashbacks of having to go to school and it sends a shudder down my spine :dismay:

 

There's more pressure on students now then in the bygone days. In order to keep CV's to a manageable level I would only interview somebody with a half decent degree...in days gone by that wasn't as important.

Good luck to all of those taking exams....

 

Of course but its easier if you do easier subjects :naughty:

 

Why will they regret it if they f**k them up Y&P ???

 

My first year exams were worth squat. 40% pass mark was all I needed in everything.

40% is something you can get by writing your name on the top of the paper with a doodle of you (with a big third leg) punching Mike Tyson in the face.

A complete waste of £6k of debt.

 

not the one where you took a slight dig at the don!

the don doesnt sound right

he should always be known as yoda

 

Was the 1st question name 3 hot drinks? And had to design a muffin etc...
Our teachers don't even teach, so you turn up to the exam, write the correct answer, but becuase we hadn't been taught a thing, quite a few people got D's.
But we nicked the mark scheme off the internet

 

I've got 9 exams in a period of 21 days...

 

I'm supposed to have SATS, but we are boycotting them. I saw it on Newsround

 

this is strange

 

My friend still failed.:dismay:

 

Clearly.

 

Give me coursework over exams any day!

 

You Big Girl.
I prefer exams, you can easily sneak out with a couple grades higher:sign15:

 

On study leave now until tuesday Aren't schools nice

 

You mean the one about him discussing the Ipswich away kit? Cos that's in another thread. If not I don't recall. My digs at Don all blur into one.

 

got 1 P.E. 2 Psychology 2 Biology 2 Geography

 

Is psychology a mandatory course or does everyone take it because it's an easy qualification?

 

:biggrin:

 

:dismay:

 

erm, think again. You are thinking of sociology!

 

its easy and interesting, and unlike many other courses you do at gcse

 

Erm, not I'm not. More than one person has said they're doing psychology.

 

What is critical thinking ??

 

Wasn't disputing how many people were doing it. I was referring to it not necessarily being an easy option- though someone taking it seems to think it is.

 

Basically a posh name for arguing birdy!

It is actually really interesting where you sort of make a claim and have to get/find evidence to back it up. I believe the Oxbridge lot dreamed it up as a way of improving the skills of future university applicants.

 

Gotcha! I think sociology was available when I was in 6th form but that was it. Critical thinking? Wtf?

 

It is not easy.

It is not interesting.

(For me anyway)

 

Just did my French Oral. Was easy mainly as I'm half French!

 

Oui! Jaimez bien le surrendeur, les jambes de crapaud et la fromage!!!
