Exam Results

Pothas · 14-08-2005, 02:59 PM

Well A level and As level results are out on thursdat with GCSEs following shortly. I am now nervouly awaiting my As results on Thursday
Good luck everyone who is getting reuslts soon

One thing that has made me very angry is the way people have already been writting off the latest set of results saying that they are far too easy, i actualy find this rather insulting. I read one headline that read 97% pass rate. This is such a false figure because although D and Es are passes everyone regards them as a fail really. Sure results have got better and teachers are better at techinh exam technique but really i find this endless bashing of acheivment very frustrating.

That's cause they are getting easier..

PY · 14-08-2005, 03:04 PM

Definitely, especially since 2003 they've just gone downhill all the way.

PS Good luck mate, sure you'll be fine and that goes for everyone else too.

If I'd spent two years being told how to do it and weeks cramming beforehand I'm sure I'd do fine...

haha if only that would work PY...

Pothas · 14-08-2005, 03:10 PM

A lot of it is geared towards the exam i will admit that but is that our fault? incase anyone was wondering i do not do media studies as most people seem too think every A level student does

sledger · 14-08-2005, 03:11 PM

well in fairness media studies is a really crap worthless course.
