Ya grade boundaries are hella low but the maths in it made about as much sense as Japanese to me. The U was a highly plausible outcome.


Well fair enough I guess.

Yeah, my score was above the threshold but i didnt do so well in the BM01, wbu?
and congrats on winning twice!
getting a 6c for maths in year 6 SATs
Going from CCD, retaking and achieving AAAA at AS with full marks in Philosophy and Sociology. I guess my Oxford interview was quite a personal achievement as well.

I drew this.

Achieved 100% in Elocution when I was 10...I got a trophy too! I was a bit annoyed on the presentation day though because I had to sit next to someone with the same name as me (I had a bit of an ego back then) :colonhash:

Also I won the Literacy Award in Year 8 for reading the most books :lol:

The only two academic achievements I could think of :redface:

At the time it was (I still averaged 90% over the 3 years)
She dumped me 2 years later (we were both doing PhDs) for some idiot from Warwick ... Oh well ... I should have listened to my mum.

Yes I was the "top geezer" at the time ...
I have several modules at 100%

The common room used to go quiet when I walked in ... all the little fishes went to hide (joking)
100% in a GCSE biology exam, having never been predicted anything above a B.
