The "Oh **** I think I've failed this subject" thread

Scroll to see replies

Last year, I ran out of time on my Biology paper. I missed out THREE pages from the back which was probably like 8-10 marks?

Cried after the exam. Even cried in August whilst opening my results cos I didn't wanna face I flopped. So in the end, I couldn't even open the envelope. I left it with my boyfriend and started running down the road crying 'I've failed!' looking like a complete idiot.

So my BF opened it. And shouted out, you got a D. So I cried.. and cried..

'Oh wait, i think I read it wrong, Oh my, You got a B in biology'.

'Oh'

You guys will do fine. Better than you think :smile:

Yay! I like that story. :biggrin:

But your boyfriend's terrible for doing that, albeit not deliberately. I still haven't forgiven the SQA for not sending me my text last year. Apart from today, most stressful day of my life. Every time my phone went off (which was a lot cos everyone wanted to know what I got!) I absolutely **** myself. Not literally, but I was so jumpy, my family got really angry.

The course isn't that bad, but the exam this year was one of the hardest in a while.

Our paper was positively medieval. I swear, ten mark questions?! It's not the 1980's anymore! I think they massively tried to overcompensate for all this grade inflation crap. And so I discover how dim I really am after all.

EDIT: To point out to all the people posting about A-levels and GCSE's, this is Scotquals and you will in all likelihood get raped by some of the people on here. But if that doesn't bother you, welcome! :biggrin:

How could you not see that coming? :frown:

I forgot.

And then all the GCSE kids started posting. Hmm. There's a point. Where are the Standard Grade children?! They should be on TSR also!!

Hmmm. Right then. Coat on, out the door, down the street, wait for car and jump in front. Evening plan sorted.

m1 was a shocker for me !!!! omdz !! did any 1 else find it dat hard!!!!!!!!!!

It was not hard to me but I had my 3B biology yesterday and my AS sociology today I focused more on these and I didn't really study for M1. In the same time the exam was NOT easy no it was not it was medium some questions were hard other are easy to get. But anyway I screwed up and this is the only thing that actually counts, so don't worry you are not alone :colondollar:

Welcome to my life I am an A2 (Senior) student and I pretty much retook all my AS this year, a lot of the AS exams clashed with the A2's so I screwed up AGAIN. It's a curse once you get yourself in the resit society then you'll never be able to get out..hehe or at least tht's what happened with me,,,hope you'll do much better than I did, and believe the only way to achieve better marks is by STUDYING EARLY that means that you need to start from the summer.
anyway good luck AS students you still have a chance do not follow my example and TAKE IT :redface:

C1 was fine.

M1...man...

I've never felt more depressed. It went HORRIBLY. I'd be lucky to get 20/75, coming from someone who usually turns up 60's.

I'm sorry to hear that...I agree it was unpleasant, but I normally get 70/75 and I think I'm down to 60/75. Some nasty questions. I'm sure you wont get 20. But you never know with M1, the grade boundaries vary a lot, I've seen them as low as 49/75 for an A!
The best of luck to you, just don't let it get you down or hurt your confidence!
If you're going for an A overall, then your C1 should help anyways. Hope this helps! :smile:
