Maths. I have dropped one mark out of all the mock papers I have done this term, and have not learnt anything new for ages. One of the things that I utterly despise is the ridiculously shallow mark scheme. For example, my teacher said I wasn't to use Cramer's rule to solve simultaneous equations, even though it is amazingly useful and quick after practice, just as it was not on the mark scheme. Cramer's rule FTW.
Also, English Lit. I see no point in learning quotes - which critics seriously write without a copy of the book? - and to be honest the only reason I get good marks is through my skill at BSing. One of my favourites was when I somehow derived mysteriously believably that Slim represents Jesus in OMaM, even though it makes no sense whatsoever looking back at it. Somehow got an A*.
