You have photographic memory? what ums did you get in all your subjects if you don't mind me asking


95%, 93%, 93%, 88%, 86% and 81% in general studies.
Of course the memory helps quite a bit but it's not the only thing, I mean I can nail questions that only require factual recall, however some questions I'm obviously still going to miss out marks on, it doesn't make me perfect because I still have to think (especially eg maths)

Difficulty of subjects are subjective.

i remember you from somewhere! How did you as results go


Aww really?! I got AABB :u: (tsr snobs, keep away :sexface:) How did you do? (if you're doing your AS/A2/GCSEs too ofc)
Product design - staying up til 4 in the morning most nights to finish my folio work, was all worth it in the end though, I worked my ass off for that A! And I nearly dropped the subject a few months before the exam because I kept thinking I was going to fail so what was the point?

what was each percent in btw?
History was my hardest A by far. Even with my passion for the subject, my determination and motivation to study it at uni and all the extra-curricular reading/essay practice in the world, I still ended up 1 ums from that A* :frown:

Great results regardless! I'm guessing that you will drop Maths...? Or do you plan on resitting to boost the grade up?

My grades in French, ICT, English Literature and Sociology respectively. Not necessarily the hardest subjects but oh well :smug:

I'm so spoilt for choice, I'm not set on a particular uni. All I'm certain of at the moment is that I'll be moving out of London :yep: what about you?

I'm looking into Software Engineering. Yes, yes, I've heard the usual "you need maths a level :angry::angry::angry:" but the course is the programming side of Computer Science, so you're not left in the dark for not having a mathematical background (although I have my B from Maths AS last year). What are you thinking of studying?

Yes it's me haha. There are the odd beans on here who get wound up about it but whatever :lol:

i loved biology until the exam board (AQA) thought it would be funny to only test us with 40% content and 60% 'how science works'.:angry:

i thought i completely failed my unit 1 and 2 exam. i ended up getting C's in both(unit 1 and 2) , however i got an A in the EMPA and that got me a B overall.
i made 300 flash cards to learn all the content from the spec and well...that didnt work out well.:frown:

Oh nono its fine haha:ahee:. Well im planning to stay in london, i don't want to live outside london, is there any reason you wanna move out? Also im planning to do combined course economics+something, as i'm dropping maths and so i cant get into straight economics.
i think it depends on the board.

I need to mention, though. I know it won't be as hard as Physics, but my god. OCR Applied ICT anyone? A detailed escape the room flash game was graded on the same basis as a dress up game (easiest thing to do in flash). What's worse is that, I don't see any support of it from any site because it's outdated, including OCR's website, and they won't take the course down.
It hurts.
