It's not that fun though :/

comrade_general

Why study things that aren't fun? :(

Pentagathus

Jobs and armadillo.
I'm not revising, because I'm a freshaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Although I might do some learning later. But probably not today.

Jubal

Exams are often done in a way that make things dull regardless of whether they *should* be fun, I find.

So you don't have to do exams in your first year?

Pentagathus

Yeah but mine are easy.

I'm currently revising for AS levels :-/ horrifying amounts seeing as how I want to get like 95% on everything :P
I am Othko, He who fell from the highest of places, Lord of That Bit Between High Places and Low Places Through Which One Falls In Transit Between them!


Jubal

I remember when it was possible to get 95% on everything :P

(The fact that this is now impossible is not simply because the work is harder; Cambridge history marks basically stop at about 80/100, it's nigh impossible to get higher. Anything over 70 is first class, and most marks are in the high fifties or sixties.)

Othko, you and me both buddy, I'm aiming for those 95% which doesn't make my life fun atm.

Cuddly Khan

In maths at the moment I'm aiming to get 4 A's and 1 B (at-least) in the end of year Exams. That way I get the highest mark. :)

He is Jubal the modder, Jubal the wayfarer, Jubal the admin. And he has come to me now, at the turning of the tide.

Tom

Yeah, in A levels you can't get A* (the highest mark) until the second year so you need to get 90% plus in your first year exams to get an A* in your second. :/

Jubal

Unless they've changed it, that's not the case, Tom.

Certainly when I did it you could indeed only get A* at A2, but it relied on 90% on the A2 modules and an A overall. So you actually needed less in your first year*. I'd check the rules on that - it's not at all unlikely that they've changed, but that's not how it worked when I did it.

*Which leads to the odd thing of subjects potentially being your best AND worst, as was the case with me in History. 100% in first year, 89.5% in second year. Best total mark, only one I didn't get an A* on.  :P
