Exam results are all bullshit anyway. I reckon they just get a bunch of bitter, twisted old crones to sit there producing randomly generated grades that bear absolutely no relation to your ability in any given subject.

alright peeps. U might remember me posting a thread about how happy i was to get an offer at a medical school...

They needed ABB

I got...

3 FUCKING C'S

so that wasn't enough for my insurance choice as well (Pharmacology wanted BBC)

SO I had to go thru clearing and I CAN still do medicine, I just ahve to this Biomedical Science degree, get a 1st, a 2:1 or a 2:2, and then do a post grad MBBS degree. ARGH 7 YEARS AT UNI, NOOOOOOOOO!!

I agree. Sigh, it's probably all computers these days though

@Lam, that's a bummer that mate. But hey, at least you're going to Uni! I tried on Friday but Sheffield's lines were all engaged for fucking ages. I'm trying again tommorow to see where my future is going...

I got a D on my coursework last year and i did crap in my xmas exam i got a C, which in the end meant i was one mark getting an A I got a really high mark too! A and A-? You must be proud with that!

I dont know about you guys but i am a person who trys at school and i get really pissed off when i see people who do nothing all year and then they go and revise the last week b4 exams by getting info of other pppl in the class and then getting a A or somet> It's not the fact that they do that in general, its the fact that they obviously have a great talent and waste it when ppl like me are proud wiht a B

not strictly true. if you never bothered to revise all year save for the 11th hour, regardless of your potential, you will underperform (unless you're The Rain Man, in which case you wouldnt even need to revise). this has been proven time and time again...and i speak from experience as well. i needed to get BBB at the least, and i ended up with BDE in maths, physics and further maths, due to my extreme procrastination techniques, also known as "can't be arsed". (i still got in though...i love you Southampton Uni! )

im a good example of this too, only i dont revise, its not a matter of putting things off, its not doign them at all! also i hate coursework, i got a U in al my courseworks (suprise suprise i cudnt be arsed) so if CW didnt count i wud have CCB grades rather than DDD

Posted by mos man on Aug-20-2002 21:38:

I am ashamed of what I got..

Computing - e
Geography - e
Psychology - u
History - u
General Studies - u

Thats what you get for a year of fucking about with your friends and not revising so all you people who have as levels this september, i'm not just saying this, DO SOME WORK or end up like me

p.s. I am taking on Geo and Computing to A level

By 2004 there is expectations of 100% pass rates for a-levels.

I know some people lie about revising. I work hard all year round, im just saying that i know people who do it at the last minute and stuff and use me, thats what makes me angry

so, unless you're a genius, put in the hard graft. oh, and they say that Degree courses are a breeze compared to A-levels. true, anyone?

It depends. A levels tackle specific areas of a topic pretty intensively, wheras degrees give you a big broad understanding. But since you need A levels to go onto a degree, then degrees do need more work.

I've seen the History degree syllabuses and they don't look that hard. I did it at A level and instead of doing broad studies, we just did a 30 yr period of history and studied that to fuck for a year until we were a genius on that topic, and did a different one the second year. Didn't really give us a broad knowledge of history, so unless you're asked about that topic you couldn't hold your own in a conversation, but it taught us the research skills etc. A degree is what you need to be able to hold your own on any topic of your subject. A history degree student would know a fair bit about virtually any period of the last millenium, wheras I did A levels and basically know shitloads about the rise of fascism and nazism in Europe, but not a lot else.

I'm not going to Uni now though so it doesn't matter.
