The teacher always tells us never to use "I" or "Me" in the exam, that should tell you what to expect. Radical views and opinions in the exam are strictly no go areas and besides, we're teenagers, correct? We're very naive when it comes to Politics.

will alot of facts be used in the exams?

I littered my essays with facts and figures and I got an A, so it can't hurt. PEE, point, example, explain.

To be totally honest though, the first year really isn't that hard.

what are future career options like ?

I'm intrigued in this also...
