God- I empathise so much, but you realise that if we want to join the Bar, we're gonna have to change? It may have seemed a reasonable excuse to say we didn't work hard when we were 15- but it's just **** now. We've gotta get down to it.
But ye- hit the nail on the head.
Yup. We are truly gonna have to work our asses off. But I can always put in the effort when it counts, like when my History exam came about. Spent most lessons asleep/drunk, revised 18 hours the day before and got 100% . I'm good under pressure, so hopefully I'll at least sort-of cope with the degree lol.
Dudette, there's nothing wrong with trying hard. Hell, even I try hard when it comes to the crunch. But what seperates those Oxbridge dead-certs from us mere mortals is their seeming willingness to work non-stop, irrespective of whether they have a good time or not. For me, work still comes first, but I don't have what it takes motivationally and work-ethically to push myself to achieve my very, very best. As in, non-stop weeks of work slavery.
Hm, I have overworked in the past and it wasn't fun. But I don't think ALL Oxbridge people work like the above.
I wish I could have done what you did Danny and got 100%! Well done though.
Does anyone else feel slightly worried that they're not going to get the grades?

Definatly, but I think its normal. Im just finding that this year my class (and myself) arn't covering anything. I keep telling my self if I don't get the grades I don't deserve to go to uni. I think thats the way to deal with it and that if u don't get the grades ull probably end up somewhere reasnable anyway.
I have no idea when my study leave starts...my first exam's on my 18th birthday and it's History *gahh*
Better day of than day b4. At least you won't have to be revising all day and can go out for a l8 night on ur 18th. Always look on the bright side (unless u have an exam the next day as well )
I am sure Dur are rejecting what appears to be *all* their Combined Arts applicants - MAYbe there's no course at all and it's all an elaborate plot to test the breaking point of poor, desperate students...
woo! just got Durham (Like literally a minuite ago xD) conditional though, although not bad. Course: Accounting & Finanace (NN43) Requirements: 33 Total in IB. 5 in Standard Math (Math Methods.)
