Exam Results

[Senator Gaius]

I know i can't be the only one who had A-level results this week, so.... do tell. If yer feeling all proud and indulgent like me

[Tagmatium Rules]

Blargh. I got mine today. A B in History, which I'm pleased about, a C in Psychology, which I'm also happy with, a D in Biology, which is good as I found it hard and really didn't like the subject, and a D in Technology, which I'm very unhappy with, especially as I revised alot, did all the courrse work very well, but appear to have messed up the exams, which I'm surprised, as I felt very confident about them.

[Orioni]

In short: what are those 'levels' about?

[Tagmatium Rules]

I don't know, I just do them All in seriousness, it's a very complex system, needing an overhaul, and the only place you'd get a decent explanation is to find the Ministry of Education site.

[Orioni]

Thanks, but I'd rather have a burger from our BBQ. Want one?

[Phil VII]

well, i had my results today as well, i got straight A's, in Chemistry, Physics and Maths, and an A in Biology AS, i also got an A in Economics As ladt year.

 

Orioni, basicly, most english school kids do 4 AS levels when they are 17, and then take 3 of those subjects on to do a full A2 level in their next year. some people do it slightly differently, like i did economics in my first year, and then realised i had to do Biology to get into Medicine, which is my chosen career choice, so i had to do a whole load extra work last year

 

but, even though i got my straight A's, i hadnt got an offers from any universities, so i have to reapply this year instead, although i should stand a good chance i hope, seeing as i have actually got 3 A's, rather than 3 predicted A's, which universities must see much more often.

[Nevareion]

Wow, much more complicated than when I did mine. We just did 3 A-levels over two years.

[Senator Gaius]

Nicely done Phil and Tag....my A2s weren't quite as supurb as yours Phil

 

I got A in History and English, and B in Politics, and so i'm definately going to Uni in London. Plus i got a C in General Studies, but that isn't a real subject anyway. I got 3 E's for the units this year, and got a C...ah, justice!

[Phil VII]

Well done Gaius, two A's and a B is pretty good, i was litrally gobsmcked when i opened the envelope, i was expecting a C in the Physics, and it turned out to be hy highest mark!

[Haken]

Didn't you guys get your points when you graduated???

[Phil VII]

graduated? we dont graduate till after University, its the americans who graduate after both high school and University

 

yeh, we got our marks when we got our results, i.e. the points we got off each paper and each subject, you have to get over 480/600 to get an A (i.e. 80%, 70% for a B, 60% for a C, and so on) hence why i kne Physics was my highest mark

[Orioni]

Very impressive Phil.

 

My total number of points was calculated on 1000, but I'm not going to tell you what I got, because me thesis (35% of the total)wasn't counted the first time. Safe to say it was more then 500/1000. Now I can only hope that my grades are good.

 

(NL: Hopelijk meer punten voor tweede zit.)

[The Chosen Nations]

Hopefully they will change the stupid A-Level system, it needs it. I am 14 so I will probly have to use the current system!

 

I start my GCSE's this year abd hope to do well, becase the lowest grade that i ever got in a test is B, and I have only got about 3 of those all my life!

[Akiiryu]

Was one of them in modesty?

[Mongol-Swedes]

A few words from the Sarge...

 

Eh, funny thing about modesty...it saves lives.

 

But that's just my experience talking, so limited and yet, a unique perspective.

[Tagmatium Rules]

GCSEs are incredibly easy. If you're looking at mostly A's, sit back and enjoy the ride and get B's and C's. I'm not being funny, but if you're going to go onto Sixth Form/College (the two are interchangable), GCSE's are one of the last chances you get to muck around and have a good time, because A levels are the hardest exams you'll do, apparently much harder than ones you'll do at Uni.

[Ide Jima]

That's the strategy I took with mine. I'll found if it was a success or not on thursday

[Senator Gaius]

I didn't revise for my GCSEs, and i did GCSE Chemistry drunk and without a calculator. I got a B...now that is modesty

[The Chosen Nations]

nAH, MODESTY WAS 1 OF MA B'S!

[The Kingdom of Isambard Brunel]

i got BBB in psychology, physics and politics and a C in Critical Thinking AS. ten points if you can guess my university (hint check the name hint)

[Tagmatium Rules]

Bristol?

[Akiiryu]

And I end my PhD course work on a A+ average...

[Scipii]

BUWE?

[Akiiryu]

Huh?

[Ide Jima]

4 A

5 B

1 D

 

What SG said was right! I got B for graphic design and I didn't even bother making two of my three final pieces.
