Re: I'm the exam fairy, I'll grant you whatever grade you wantGot my A2 exams coming up. I need 'B's in two of my subjects, and a 'C' in the other (I study History, Govt. & Politics and English Lit, and need BBC to meet my firm choice of History & Politics at Stirling).

Re: I'm the exam fairy, I'll grant you whatever grade you wantI got BBCC last year and didn't get into uni, I have BBBB from January resits and I need the French grade to turn into an A so I can get into my first choice. I did my speaking exam today and I think it went okay. I have the writing exam next month. I'm desperate for this A, if I don't get it I'll just die

Re: I'm the exam fairy, I'll grant you whatever grade you wantIf someone doesn't understand the concepts, then that just means that the way they're revising isn't useful for them, you have to remember everyone learns in different ways. The thing is it just takes some people longer to then others to understand that doesn't mean that the people who take longer have a limit below an A/A* they just have to work harder and that's the bottom line.(Original post by Clare~Bear)
Yes but some people just can't understand some things, no matter how many times they g over it. Yes most of it is just about memorising stuff. But at a-level you do need to understand the concepts. Plus there's only so many hours in the day and if you have a load of exams all close together then it makes it even harder to get the best grades, although some people have stoopid exam timetables but end up with good grades. -

Re: I'm the exam fairy, I'll grant you whatever grade you wantIf they don't undertsand then it's not revision - it's the learning that went wrong in some way. Yes a-levels are a lot about independant work but teachers are there for when you struggle with something and don't understand it. If you have useless teacher they might not be able to explain it to you in a way you understand and neither could the textbooks.(Original post by 0range)
