"Grades for Uni"

I've already been allocated a room and made deposits, yada yada yada for my uni - but my place is based on me getting BBB grades.

I've already got an A in media and arent at all worries about English, but if I failed to get a B in history do you think they'd be likely to offer me a place anyway or would they bothered revsersing all of the uni stuff and throwing me out on my ear?


Also, A-level history courses are too big. There's too much stuff to learn capably.

AQA got lazy and rolled all the past papers into one. Lovely. :)

Yes! Only 5 marks, but still! It was the first exam in June to have an HTML question since 2002... lucky us (again!). :D

You both did the AQA papers, right?

CPT4 was pretty nice.
CPT5 was stupidly easy

And we got a question on drawing a webpage! Woot!

Bah, after stats tomorrow, I still have 5 hours of exams left...

I couldn't find answers anyway. :) Oh well.

But yes, I think it's for the best. 1 more exam and I'm finished, which is good.

Oh, and +1 for cramming. :D

I had to stop myself from laughing. The first time I read it, it looked like Hitler, then I realised it wasnt. Thumbs up to AQA for lightening the exam up a bit. There was nothing to do with 3rd world countries/ aid relief...

I hate doing that after exams. If I come out thinking I've done ok, i'd rather stay like that and leave it till results day, rather than be told I've not got the same as someone else...

Haha, it was "Hilter". :) But yes, I know what they were implying. Mr Abdul doing arabic, too. :)

Aaah, my God, CPT 4 was eeeeeasy! They were throwing marks at you!

CPT5 required more thought, but I think it went OK. Now to go check my marks with everone else.

That was a beautiful exam, loads of cheap mark questions. Couple of dodgy one markers, but overall really nice. If you'd revised the past papers, you shouldnt have had any problems. Also, the first Cpt exam to make me laugh. Ms Hitler anyone? AS German?

I hope we get a question like: -

"Draw the outcome of this HTML code

Hello World!

"

Those questions just throw marks at you :p

ASP + HTML questions are so, so easy. They literally give marks away.

There was a fantastic question last year about Codecs and storage medium for video files (I think). If that came up I'd be incredibly happy.

But instead we'll get, "Normalise this Database".

Urgh.
