Personally I'd rather be posh than permanently have something stuck in my throat.

you should !! reading might take a while (they're big books) but watching them is only 10 hours a season :smile:

and it's so totally worth it :biggrin:

Maths chemistry Biology and physics :smile:

you ?

Hahaha, yeah I've seen the books. They're huge! Aren't there like 10 or something?

I shall get started with Game of Thrones tonight :biggrin:

This will definitely distract me from results day :eek:

I'm doing Maths, Chemistry and Biology like you, but instead of Physics, I'm doing French :smile:

How are you feeling about next week?

What is everyone doing courses wise for A-Level?
I'm doing:
Biology,
French,
Geography,
PE

Bit of an odd combination, but I want to work in the Police Force or in Veterinary so trying to keep my options open. I think I'm going to regret applying for French? It's one of my strongest subjects, but then I don't excel in any of them either so...

I'm doing an odd combination too:

Maths;
History;
Economics;
Product Design.

I feel I'm quite good at Product Design but it's the one that will probably put some universities off me. But I'm still not entirely sure whether I want to do something with design (most likely Product Design or Industrial Design) or whether I want to do something like Law or Politics which is where the other three (Maths fits both though) come in.

Never expecting a grade again :lol:

Grade boundaries aren't very useful because you can't predict your raw mark... I was around 20 marks off over all my A Level exams today :mmm:

C4 I got right
C3 I was 7 marks off
C2 I was 7 marks off
S1 I was 4 marks off

(all in the wrong direction :colonhash:

)

HY1 I was 7 marks off again...

So 25 marks away from my predictions :tongue:

Moral. Don't get set on a grade until you get them :smile:

Well done. Your achievement is even more impressive when considering your age. How long did it take you to complete each module? I'm starting now and I estimate that it will take me around 30 hours per module. Is that vastly off? I know that the time varies from person to person, but a rough estimate would be beneficial.

Thanks in advance.
