I won't deny it hasn't helped, because it really has. It was like active revision, was great.

INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.

Meh, I'm doing sciences. Debates won't help at all.
Except with Critical Thinking... :)
Re: Exam results
critical thinking is bs, at my college they made us do it because the govt gives extra funding if it is done. You know what I did? Skipped the exam!I do what I want to do, thank you very much. It is VERY simple and VERY easy btw, and uni's don't regard it very highly ;p

Man, picking A-levels is going to be hard...A couple of months ago, I was sure I wanted to be a biologist, but now I've got no idea what I want to do...

Think of the band, man! Would John Paul Jones be a biologist? Would Jaco Pastorius be a biologist? Oh, and i'm not thinking of excuses so i don't lose a good bassist... honest.Originally Posted by Big King Sanctaphrax
Anyway, I got 1 A, 4 Bs, 6 Cs and 1 U. The U was for religious studies. Instead of doing the paper, i drew a cool dragon tatoo on my arm. The only reason i turned up was because i didnt want to have to shell out £20 as a fine for missing the exam. I even forgot what subjects we were supposed to have studied over the 2 years...

Biologist? Ewwwwwwwwww, be something else, blimey!
Take courses you ENJOY, not neccesarily what you think you are good at - or what you are good at. I had to retake my first year at college because I took courses I didn't enjoy but thought would be a good idea career wise and courses I could struggle through, boy was I wrong. I couldn't cope with the sheer boredom I had when studying, so my grades, attendance and attitude slipped, at least that has been sorted this year. Anyway gl!

Re: Exam results
Be a chemist if you want to be a scientist - then you know you're in the dullest subject (except, possible, physics). Otherwise, take the sensible option, and go off to study an arts degree. Besides - it's so much harder to be thrown out of university for an essay subject.
Re: Exam results
How unlucky you are. I breezed through the GCSEs (8A* 2A) and thought I could do the same with the A levels. How wrong I was. Whatever you do, DON'T do maths A level. Even if you think you are amazing at maths (I thought I was). ONE module is as long as the whole GCSE course, and you have to do 3 for your AS in one year! Take physics - it's by far the easiest subject I did this year.

Re: Exam results
Yeah, it's two lessons a week, has no coursework, little homework, and is basically arguments. Plus it's with people I know. So basically it isn't too bad. Now, if they made us do General Studies, I would skip that.critical thinking is bs, at my college they made us do it because the govt gives extra funding if it is done. You know what I did? Skipped the exam!
Re: Exam results
Congratulations all, good luck on the A levels.
I've got my G.C.S.Es this year and seeing what you guys got I'm really thinking I'm gonna fail miserably. Chances are I'll only get two or three A*s seven A's and one B.
