Dossed about and didn't revise for o levels & CSEs, got 4 Os and 5 CSEs.
o levels, did you have to write with a quill ;o) just kidding
Not quite :lol: but we weren't allowed calculators in the maths exam and we didn't have computers!

i can imagine! It's like, i thought GCSE's were hard, but then you start AS and A2 levels and then you realise you were very wrong!
Donncha O'Callaghan and Bruce Reihana are the best players that ever lived. Don't even bother to argue with me.

Everything always seems hard at the time.

Ill probably look back on these exams and think they were easy.

Finding motivation to revise is the hardest part!

Both points I find to be very true. The most annoying this for me is, I have to pass two modules, inorder to pass into the second year, and then never do them ever again. What's that all about?! I'm not even sure if I want to stay on so motivation is agbout as scarce as Northamptons chances of premiership rugby next season.

Don't even get me started on exams!! I do really well in coursework and then exams tend to screw me over normally!! I'm doing chemistry, psychology, pe and biology and of course general studies grrr!
and I am sooo stressed out at the moment, we finish in 2 weeks and have not finished the courses in any of them and are looking unlikely to do so!!
Im very worried about chemistry and psychology - biology and PE shouldnt be too bad i hope!!
Need AAB to do physiotherapy :o?

I did chem and bio and didnt have too many problems with them.

It was physics and maths that screwed me over!!!

You only need 40% to pass your first year at uni. After that is when the hard work starts!

It is really. I did a history degree and only had 6 hours of lectures a week. was meant to spend 30 hours a week in the library but was lucky if I did 30 minutes!

Second and third years are whats more important, but wish I had studdied harder. Be prepared to rack up a lot of debt though. That is the only downside. :censored: Labour government

Yeah lots of my mates just did absolutely nothing in their first years. ha ha sounds like a lot of us at college we're supposed to do 3to4 hours for each class a week and they're lucky if we do 30 minutes oops lol

yeah, and the debt thing is ridiculous I really dont see the need for making us pay soooooo much :(

Because of my student loan I have a nice bill of £12,000 to pay off. Im not paying it off early though, they can take minimum each month. Shouldnt be charging so much for us to get an education.

well as long as you dont earn anymore than 15,000 a year you dont have to pay anything back but nowadays many jobs pay a lot more than that but its what around a tenner a month???
