The Super Juicy CURRENT YEAR 11 (2012-13) THREAD Mark V

That's terrible. Whats worse would be an exam the day after your bday because you'd spend the day revising.
This is why everyone should have their babies in September! Lol

Have you read about this? I think it's absurd, my birthday's in April and I remember joining my reception class a few months later than everybody else but I don't consider myself to be at a disadvantage to anybody else. In fact, I managed to get into a grammar school so if anything I consider than an advantage above my primary school peers and I wouldn't say the month I was born in played any part whatsoever in my education

Most people in my school could do that question, god knows how it was impossible but I could do all the other questions although I completely mucked up one of the other 4 markers as I didnt read the question properly, so thats 92% and minus all the stupid mistakes probably mid 80's ... atleast i hope

I'm born in August, and I think it's just stupid. Either way, I want to know what I actually get in exams, changing my grade won't be a reflection of my true ability.

quick question, why are you not allowed to talk about edexcel exams straight afterwards but you are allowed to talk about CIE ones ? surely the same rules should apply as their igcse's are taken across the world ( atleast I think they are )

Yeah, I'd assume there'd be a spectrum rather than just children born in August if it were to be implemented but I'd hate to have such an advantage over my September-born peers - I wouldn't blame them for resenting the fact I may get a higher grade than them despite getting the same mark. I think a few months of early year schooling missed is perfectly fine. If the parents believe their children are really to such a disadvantage in joining school a few months late then then should consider a good nursery or take a few hours a day to home school.

CIE is a UK based exam board I think.

I don't think I notice it because I've always been younger, so I've grown used to talking to people older than me! It's going to be frustrating for me getting everything later than everyone else! Yes, I'm fourteen, I don't think of you guys as 16 (?) except when you talk about getting national insurance numbers and stuff!

Omg wow... 14. You're so unlike any 14 year old I know! I'll be 17 soon *vomits*.... Ahh national insurance numbers are soo old now haha... I think i lost mine. -_-

Why? What's different about me? That's old! You'll be 17 this year, I'll be fifteen this year and I'm only one year below! Well that was clever of you! I want one!

You're very mature! You remind me of myself. Hahahahahaha
Wow... That is weird. Really. Why does the school academic year start in September? Iol i looked forward to it too until it came in a brown envelope and didn't have a card... Just a number. Oh and they got my surname wrong... Yeah.

Oh, does OCR have two exams? In AQA there are two, one human - I'm doing tourism, the development gap and changing urban environments - and one physical - I'm doing coasts, rocks and scenery and the restless earth.

that's awkward

Lots of people have said that to me! (that I'm mature, not that I remind them of you!)

I really don't know, it's an odd time! Did it come in one of those brown manila envelopes!? I love those envelopes! How did they get your surname wrong!? It's so simple! My surname's almost always wrong!

WHAT..So you would prefer a D to a B?

I should be revising right now I suppose, morning is when I revise best...
