A-Level you performed the worst in

I got a B in AS General Studies. Lol.

General studies.

Then economics. What a load of **** that A level was. 'Here, learn the mark scheme by rote, and then these particular points I've written down for you to parrot in the exam'. Erm, no. I got an A, and I still know absolutely nothing about economics.

Spanish from what I remember.

Certainly seemed like the one I was worst at and I think was my lowest mark.

Not sure about the frustrating missing an A* thing from OP as they didn't exist when I did them.

haha, don't trust my Physics judgement :smile:

I'm just annoyed because in my exam I didn't recognise a question was on direct proportion that was four easy marks. :smile:

You'll be great. It's one of those things that when you've figured it out, it makes sense.

Don't worry I know how it feels, its happened to me too! :redface:

, you get put under a lot of pressure and stress in the exam that you tend to mess us on the easy questions! :frown:

Hmm yh I guess :smile:

but the exams still full of surprise; with all those HSW stuff if you know what I mean. Wanna continue over inbox? :wink:

, we're going slightly off topic here :tongue:

To be fair, most (pretty much all) subjects can be learnt by rote, Maths, Sciences, Geography etc. that's the structure of A levels I'm afraid.

Sure, but in most subjects rote learning means something (not a lot, but something). In economics you're presented with one theory and not even told that there's disagreement. I find that completely empty and pointless.

At least, that's how I was taught. If you were taught differently, fair enough.
