    What grade are you hoping to get if you don't mind me asking?
    I was hoping for an A*, but you have to above ninety in them all :eek: And after the appalling S6 exam and having to concentrate revision on Biology, I think it'll be an A. Still, that's what I need to get to Exeter so I'm happy. What do you think you'll get?

    Thanks, its nice to hear someone saying something positive about stats for once. I recently (a week ago) did a taster session and really enjoyed myself, although I must admit I was shock at being told I need to pay £50 for a cassio graphics calculator!
    Mine isn't a graphics calculator I love my Sharp EL-531WH! I'd have been lost without him

    Good luck for the 16th then, I hope you get your A
    I'm only just starting college this September but I can't believe I'll have a Stats exam in January :eek:

    Ahh ok, I was under the impression that Stats was a lot easier with a graphics calculater, plus I think the staff at our college make it compulsery.

    I thought one wud need at least a 90% average for the A* on A2 units, tho you are probs right as I am not really concerned about it and there is nooo way im getting the A*, S6 went terrible for me.
    So, just curious, what were your AS marks like, did you do S4 in jan, if so how did that go?
