"Ahhhhh! My first free moments this week..."

Yup, its true, since leaving to go back to uni on tuesday, this is the first moment I`ve actually allowed myself to do something "unworklike". I`m stuck in the middle of exams (and I guess adrian, and probably Venom Byte are too). Two exams down... which went alrightish, but certainly not well, hopefully enough to make it to next year though. I now have three left, all next week. Do you know the really bad thing about this two week period? Well, no PS2!!!! I deliberately left it at home for a while so that I could actually do a little studying.

Why am I saying all this? Not a whole lot of point as I`m sure nobody had noticed my absence anyway, but just to say that I won`t be around much, if at all, over the next week and a bit. As a result, any burning questions that require input from me (a rarity I know) will have to be directed to somebody else. I recommend Wookiee Monster as he is currently doing two questions for the price of one, with further hints and tips added to his solutions for every 5 questions you ask.

If you`re looking for somebody to argue with, now that you can`t argue with me for a while, then I recommend Dringo. He does not charge, and all you have to do to begin is say "Nin..." and before you even finish the word... the argument will start.

Alternatively, if you are searching for snowboarding tips then you were in the wrong place anyway, as my name can be very misleading. Instead I recommend Outlaw, as I hear he is now mangaing 16 Uber tricks in a single jump.

*Exam stress sucks*

The silly thing about all these exam complaints is that it will probably benefit the students. They are all complaining that it put them off, and that they`ve lost valuable marks, however thats all rubbish. If you find a hard question, you leave it temporarily, and make sure you get the rest done before going back to the tough one. If you`re too stupid to think of that, and spend all your time on the hard question, then you don`t deserve to pass anyway. On top of that, as the exam board admits the error was with the question, its quite likely that students will get credited with the marks for those questions anyway,

Basically, many of them will probably do about 5% better than they would have done before.

did u see it on the news(hmm maybe it was the lincolnshire news only) the kids who spotted it were weird.

yer the graph question couldnt be answered becoz the end equation was wrong - i thought it was just really hard!!
MM

I don't do Maths, but I heard about that error with the question! Which could cost 6-formers their places at uni!!

Anyone do the Maths?

3 down... 2 to go. Sadly these are the hardest two. Never mind. Time to bury myself again.

I had an AS Econmics exam today in the morning, it was unit 1 the market system and was 1hr and 30 mins. I dont think I did very well in it, I dont even want to predict the grade I'm going to get, though I hope I get at least a C or above.

I had an exam yesterday and I think Ive done pretty well. Had an Academic Review today and my target grades are:

A for English Lang
B for ICT
B for Media

And Phil, if you only come near Jives (i hope you know who I mean) I am gonna take desperate measures ;)

True, my first year was certainly a lot less demanding.

Same at Bath. Every so often during the first year we would do a computing unit. One on Java, and one on Contemporary computing. Each one was mostly coursework. It took the pressure off the final exams.

Oi, someone, tell Natbuc a kid laughed at him for 5 minutes on the Internet...
