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

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

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.
