I hate me. I'm such an average person. Today I got the results from an A/S Biology resit I did in January (for which I felt I did plenty of revision for) and before the Tutor told me the results he said
"Have you seen the result? It's brilliant!"
And I thought "YES! this must be something good" then he told me it was a C gone up from a D. Don't get me wrong, I was pleased...but thats so average. Then everyone else around me had got their results which were bloody good (A's/B's one person had gone from a U to an A in one unit). I tried, I really did, in that ******* exam and the best I get is an average grade?
Then later in the day I saw the grade book in English Lanuage (the book that tells us what grades we're expecting) and low and behold, I'm predicted an average C whilst certain other members of the group are getting A's without trying too hard - it's just depressing being average.

The way I see it, Biology is absolutely worthless for most people studying it.
It's highly specialized after you learn about sex and periods and general knowledge stuff, things like chambers of the heart and osmosis, stuff nobody cares about unless they want to be a doctor or scientist or biology teacher.
AND, unlike Physics or Chemistry where you start off with something and use formulae or rules to get a result, Biology is pretty much all just regurgitating facts.

Just recently I know how you feel. I really try in English and all I seem to get are low B's, C's and even D's. I've never had this problem at any other time which is why it annoys me.
And in other exam result news I flew through the general studies exam with two A's - 93% and 90%, 80% needed for an A. I blatantly disregarded all teh information given to me by my tutor, did no revision like everyone else, ranted about communism and stuck up for Tony Martin. Go figure.

From a U to an A!!??
Erm wow.
Anyways I always used to get C/D's and then maybe hit C if I try but now I'm getting A's and B's with ease, all you have to do is try and write down the sort of things you need to talk about first (especially english language) rather than fill your essays with the same crap said ten different ways.

I can sympathize, but I can't empathize. I've always been the one who effortlessly gets the results.
On the plus side, there are plenty of people around who are far less capable that you. Think of all those who didn't get as far as A-levels, those people who struggled to get even a 'D' in any of their GCSE's and will end up in dead-end jobs for the rest of their lives - and believe me, there are a lot of such people around.
Most of my firends from back home fall under that category, sadly.
