so how much mistakes do you think you made?
don't worry you can pay off that student debt in no time its not that much

religious studies is an easy exam its just like GCSE

you should cut down your part time job for revision time its not like you need the money

no student is interested in politics

exams are easier now than they've ever been

ofsted inspections do improve the standard of schools
I find it ironic how we are constantly told to reach for our dreams yet most people in life fail to accomplish this such as those looking to become doctors failing to get into medical school etc
"I got x/100 in a past paper! That's an A!"
"Only x?! What happened to the other marks?"

Gets me all the time

Some guy that works in my college was standing on the opposite side of some double doors so as I go to walk through he hesitates (I'm normally nice and hesitate too as though contemplating whether to let him in first or not) but obvs I'VE GOT A CLASS TO BE IN AND GOD KNOWS WHAT HES DOING WITH HIS LIFE so I stroll through first, just as I pass him he says in the most sarcastic tone "After you, why not.."
...I even shocked myself with the death glare I gave him.

There were two doors.
Exams begin next week.
don't start with me mate.

"Shouldn't you be studying?"

That really pisses me off. Especially after I just finished....
When I had to tell my folks I missed out on my desired grades (by a mile) and they say, "so what happens now?"

I just tell them I'll let them know how it went when I get my results.

Wow! I'm amazed at how awful some parents' comments are!

My mum has always know exactly the right thing to say to me at exam time, whether it's prodding me to revise or supporting me or telling me to take a break and go dancing.

The worst comments I've had were those from my teachers, usually along the lines of "We know you won't let us down, Plumstone" and "We expect a lot from you, but we know you won't disappoint us, Plumstone".

I almost had a full-on break down over my GCSEs because I was burning out from all the work, but I was so terrified that I might let my teachers down. My mum completely flipped out when she found out all the **** I'd been getting from them and thankfully that made it better.
