It merely tests you on how well you memorise work... you study long you get good marks, you don't study you get bad marks.
I have never really been one to study but yet pass with flying colours... but certain people who are the most boring people in the world and have no good views on life get full marks. Why? because they are so boring they spend there lives learning a whole book...
For once I had a Maths and Physics test this week... I deceided to study as I actually needed to.. I studied for one night and passed both easy... if I studied I'm sure I'd get 100% but I'm not someone who studies... I look at formulae and sigh I just want to express my views, English is okay but this year it is set out as a memory exercise as well...
Education is pointing in the wrong directions, I'd rather talk about the world, my ideas, look at poetry, do more art, but my school does hardly any of this and its too late for me to change...
Bah... I know I'm more intelligent than straight A people.
(maybe exceptions in this post as some people get great marks without studying and some people are just thick to core if they studied or not)
That is all.
What art one?
Art, as in....normal Art! Art in general. I'm also doing it for A level (currently AS) and our teacher won't let anyone drop it! I'm also doing Art Graphics for just an AS, and i'm gunna fail!! My Personal Investigation is a mess, as my teacher keeps telling me to change it, every single lesson!! I'm really starting to see why everyone hates her now! You're lucky if you were allowed to drop art!

Hate exams. And thats all I have to say.

I'm guessing you're still young
I'm completely de-sensatised to exams, they don't bother me in the slightest now
I don't even worry about them, not even while I'm waiting to go in
Hate exams. And thats all I have to say.
> I hated the art one, and found it extremely boring!!
What art one?
"and even worse when I found out I couldn't drop it!"
Um, what did I do? I dropped it
Not officially of course, but I dropped it. I don't like something? I do something about it
I got 100% on the second of the three big tests we do through the year...
The same day I got my report card back and the teacher gave me a 3
1-4 = 1 being best
What do you need to do to get a 1? :)
It's worse this year for me, as it lasts ONE WHOLE DAY!! That's 6 WHOLE LESSONS, and i'm also doing Art Graphics aswell!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
I never seem to do well in the actual exams either. I'd better have some pretty impresive coursework then!!
It really is pointless! I already know how to type and use different programs, i've learnt nothing new! They could've also at least tried to make it a bit more interesting, rather than having to sit there copying text from a book!
I laugh at the people at my school who still have to do it!
"Worst course ever!!" - In the voice of the fat comic book guy, from The Simpsons.
In Jan I had 6 A Level Exams ( 4 AS Resits) and 3 Mock Exams which we were told that we are expected to get a good mark for and if we did not we might be thrown of the course as are "attitudes stink."
2 Days after my 18th Birthday on the 4th of Feb I had the first of two scholarship exams for Aberystwyth. Lucky for me the first was quite easy.
But yesterday I had the hardest exam I have ever had the pain to sit through. (And I thought the exams are meant to be getting easier not harder!)
