Ow, I hate it when you get that with exams, turning up with minutes to spare to find you're in the wrong place and having no idea where to go. Reception will of course always be useless in this situation.

Oh yeah, reminds me, doing the school certificate, on my maths paper, doing fantastic, finnished with only a couple of minites to spare, they start collecting paperws, times up and I hear "Turn to the red section"
Red section?
I realise I've missed a whole section, so with the three seconds I have, I do as much as I can...
I wasn't alone either.
Didn't do that well in the school certificate becuase of that, but hey, the SC's useless anyway.

I once got "answer one of the questions from these sections" from "answer one of the questions from each section."

Two thirds of the marks down the drain. Thank Odd for mock exams!

Gosh, A Level Psychology exams are the most complex things ever. There are like 5 sections on the one paper and each one has different instructions. 'Answer all these questions', 'answer one of these questions', 'answer any two of these questions'... Didn't have time to finish the thing anyway.

And your school/college only has chance to teach you approximately half of the syllabus so there no actual point in all the questions anyway.

We don't discuss psychology A level in my presence. Especially the last paper.

For my GCSE English Literature paper, I didn’t answer it. Didn’t write a thing; didn’t have a clue what to write. I just sat there for however many hours it was. Still got an overall B, but I didn’t come away from that year with much of a love for literature. What a shitty year; still, best of a bad bunch.

You should of made a half arsed attempt, you know, start writing your own book or something, that's what I would do.
Well, the annoying thing about me is that when I'm in a fight, and I get somone on the ground, I'm like "Oh crap" and literally just stay on the spot, and get beaten, guess it's the pacifist in me (Altough it arrives a little late). Sometimes I get to my sences quick enough to dodge whatever punches come my way. But that's me, I'm qiock to get into fights, but once in them, have no desire to finnish them.

***Wil*** · #39 04-22-2008, 05:04 AM

Yes, that does sound like pacifism.

English literature: the only subject that simeultaneously has no right answers yet a set of correct ones. I believe there is a chapter devoted to it in The Strange Quantum World and You. And in the peer-reviewed paper Academic quantum mechanics in a literary environment.

Well thank you all you oldies who have done their GCSEs

Now i am scared what will happen when i do them

Wings of Fire · #42 04-22-2008, 09:38 AM

I did no work. no homework, no revision, late/half arsed coursework and averaged Bs that I really didn't deserve.

The moral of this story: GCSE's are piss.

This except replace the letter B with A

I also dossed my GCSEs, but the set of my grades had an average of A (with standard deviation 0.775 of a grade to 3 s.f.).

Bullet Magnet · #45 04-23-2008, 06:54 AM

Good lord, no more statistical analysis today, please.

Splat · #46 04-23-2008, 07:22 AM

GCSE's are just easy. Just turn up and you've practically passed already. Lowest grade I got was a C and I only ever revised when my Mother was in the room (which asn't a great deal). A Levels are about 10 times worse though.
So no worries!

***Wil*** · #47 04-25-2008, 12:18 PM

A Levels were doss compared to even Level 1 uni modules. I got spoiled by their ease.

mudling · #48 04-25-2008, 08:24 PM

You know, I would say get back on toppic, but I'm too scared by your superiorness.
You can add this situation to the list.

Don't worry. It's always downhill after the first year of university. Downhill, then underground.
