"Pah!"

Aren't you sometimes really annoyed that some people in your class are just so good, even when they don't revise for exams. I mean I revised a lot of science and I got 91% and this other boy got 91% who hardly revised. It's these kind of people who really annoy me. You try as hard as you can and they just do as best as you or sometimes even better. Grrr. Also I did really bad in my maths exams. I got 40% in the calculator paper and 585 in the non-calculator. Someone got 82% and 81%. And I got 76% in my Latin exam which is good. But the same peron beat me and I revised a lot.

Memory tests do me fine :D
I remember pointless facts for no apparent reason.

Although English allows you to express your own thoughts on a particular sucject in Section B.

What annoys me is they are just memory tests. Original thought gets you jack S**t.

Yeah. I hope they're like that.

My Science GCSE was modular, and I really liked it that way. When you think about it being expected to remember 2 years work in one test on one day is kind of stupid anyway.

If they're modular revisions a bit easier. You can see if you need to do more revision from the results and retake a few.

Teachers say that all the time. I never believe them.

GCSEs: first time I ever revised in my life.

An hour the day before or the same day as the exam.
That was it.
I didn't have any problems.

I'll probably have to revise properly for my A-Levels though.
GRRRR.

I am that person. Two days revision before an exam is the absolute limit.

More like revising a day before on average.

Never rely on what people say they have done in terms of revision, odds are they're lying.

There are 4 different types of subjects you can be good at at school, or something like that. Maths and sciences, languages, creative subjects and social subjects.

All those years ago i was good at maths and sciences, and I could do better than most others with out much effort. But I got kicked in the nuts so to speak when it came to other areas like art.

But I know what you mean. It can get annoying.

Just remember that you have strenghts that they won't.

Some people are just good at remembering facts and equations, so they don't need to revise much.

History, English and Chemistry.

Usually get around 90% in other subjects on average.
