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

Well everyone says something about wanting a C at least, I'll definitely get more than that for both. I think I'll just omit my Lit from my UCAS.

You don't really need anything in it though.

When institutions say they want 5A*-C grades including English and Maths, they mean Language, not Literature :mmm:

yup, I know. Why am I even doing English Lit btw? :frown:

Scumbag British education system

I guess I could go on about how English Lit is actually quite helpful which is why you have to do it in IB, but it seems too **** ._.

I'm sure you had lots of fun memorising texts inside out since you find it easy :h:

Well, my revision for this exam begun around 40 minutes ago so we'll see but I did get 100 UMS in the 30% CA so I'm not really bothered if I get an A* or A.

I prefer to think of GCSEs as "actual education taster sessions" :lol:

I imagine that PRINCE is my class' equivalent to RAVEN (Reputation, something, vested interest, expertise, neutrality? :tongue:

I don't actually use it :colondollar:

)

The content is actually quite useful to know for other subjects and just everyday life, you know :lol:

Woah, you need to wake up that early?!
On normal school days I have to wake up at 7 if I have a morning exam (compulsive breakfast), but if not then I can wake up/get up at 8:30 :colone:

Depends really, on when you sleep. If possible, sleep for 7 and a half hours. Either that, or 9 hours. I'd probably wake up at 5:45, you might end up lying in for 15 mins as well.

I normally wake up around 6.30ish but I want to do early morning revision :biggrin:

Yes my class use braven... Which just sounds outdated and I forget what they stand for, so I use prince...
Perception, reputation, (vested) interest, neutrality(/bias), corroboration, expertise. :smile:

It just sounds better :cool:

Yeah it is but also vey easy to not get marks for, if you choose one word, and the examiner has a different one, even if they mean the same thing you can loose the marks
(Btw your A would be the "ability to perceive") x

Ummmm "evaluating the credibility of a document"
Basically saying wether the credibility of it is strengthened/weakened by any of those factors :smile:
