Anyone else taking theirs at the moment or are you all too old?! :D

So far i've taken 10 exams and have got another 7 to go! Can't wait till the 15th of June when it's all over with!

getting your results is ace, i got straight C's with 1 B :-))(

Study Leave was the best period of my life.

although im at study leave at college now it isnt the same.. i have shitloads of coursework to do :(

Yes im doing mine,im doing 18.

I'm doing my finals at uni. It's a bit harsh you finish on the 15th though. I'm done on friday and that's quite late compared to most people.

i think i'm the first person to finish out of most people i know the very last exam for our year is the 23rd of June (which is also the day of the prom which i guess would be quite annoying!) so i was quite pleased with the 15th!!

finished my exams nearly a fortnight ago, don't go back til the 15th. fucking lush.

I finished my 3rd year uni exams yesterday, shed loads of time til 4th year now quality  :beers:

I finished my GCSE's in 1990. They used to be hard you know! :wink:

Finished mine in 1984!

And they were GCE's then I think.

What are you going to be doing afterward STFC11?

A levels or work? Any plans for uni at all, don't let the old farts with jobs beat you down about being a slacker  :wink:

Im going to new college to do photography, sociology and ICT A levels and I’m taking a one hour a week sports coaching course and journalism course

Im not sure about uni I guess i'll look into it when im at college see what I enjoy. I’ve got quite a few future ideas: sports photographer, journalist, sports coach or designing websites/magazines so i'll see if I can get into those when I leave college or look towards uni, im not set on anything at the moment though.

Arrrgggh not ICT at New College  :?

It's probably all different now, but when I went that course was a nightmare.

Uni is sound, but I wouldn't fancy those extortionate fees now. I'm glad I've done it though, will hopefully get a good grade when I graduate and I now have a job lined up which I wouldn't have got without a degree (or another 2 years training which I couldn't be bothered to do). Add to that the drunken outings, the friends you meet and the experience of living away, I can't believe I didn't want to do it when I first started my A-Levels.

Iv'e got mine next year, only in year 10 8)  so iv'e done a few but most of them are next year!

I only chose ICT because i couldn't think of anything else to do! I asked the person who was doing the interview did the course do web design and she said no..i looked over the information sheet and basically every coursework was web design, silly woman!

Most boring job ever. I do web shite and it bores me to the very core, they didn't even have proper computers when I was doing my GCSE's.

snap!

I managed to get a G in one of my GCSE's, still not sure if that actually counts for anything.

Doing my A-levels, A2. Last exam on the 20th, 3 hours written paper. Can't say Im looking forward to it. :(

i thought F was the lowest?

Im doing AS levels. Finish Friday. 2 history exams tomorrow but I have pretty much given up caring cos I was getting stressed by the ones I wanted to do well in.

I am soooodropping history for A2!

my mum knows someone who can spell FUDGE with their GCSE results!!!

You would assume so, wouldn't you ?  Maybe an attempt by the government to make it look like more people were passing than was actually the case.  I deserved less to be honest.

Stfc11 - A friend on mine spelt his name in his A level mocks(BEN), and another lad managed DUNCE after re-takes :smile1:

how'd you get N? not entered?

my results spell bbc dddd eef

I could have told you in 1997, I don't have a clue now.

How are your current exams going do you reckon ?

New College is wank.

did alright on film, i think. didn't sit english and forgot everything for psychology.

not very well in other words. ah well!

Hahaha what a pathetic thing to say.

I think that before they redid it in about 2001 with the new system an N wasn't good enough to pass but not bad enough for a U. Something like that anyway.

you never finish studying - exams - assessments - presentations
fuckers - they're all cunts - I just want to sleep

Yeah I'll have at least 2 more years of exams when I leave uni  :(

Got 1 x A, 1 x D and the rest were B's and C's, back in 2000

I got an A*, a load of A's, a B, and a C back in '02.

I had an Economics A-Level exam on the day we played Brazil in the last W.C :x

I knew were were a geekoid dave, you have now just proved it  :wink:

Intelligence doesn't always equate to geekiness, Birdy. For example, you have a geeky job, but are a complete fool... :D

apparently so

Bahahahaha! Surely i haven't silenced the Bird?

nah just not feeling myself at the mo  :(

that sounded rude  :D

Oh. In that case, i take back my friendly abuse, and will use it a time better suited!

Hated GCSE's came out ok but in all honesty gcse's didnt get me anywhere in my career.  I wouldn'y employ a person now if they had 10 a's and no experience

cheeky monkey you  :D

fuck GCSE's i own my own business

Nope, took my GCSE's two years ago now. Currently doing my A-Levels however....
Anyone any good at Anatomy and Physiology? I'm pretty good, but my knowledge of energy systems, is pretty poor.... :?

A-Level ICT is terrible. I dropped it after one year (last year). It was great during year 10 and 11, but its so boring in A-Level....good luck though  :thumbs:

It wasn't the course I had a problem with, just the organisation and how it was taught was terrible.

i had two physics A level exams and a geography A level exam on that day, was crap didnt get to see any of the game til the evening

We were allowed to watch the game before going in to the exam. I failed it.

i got my last G.C.S.E next thursday, just in time england-paragay 8)

i got 10 gcse a grades and 1 olevel in maths a grade.

3 a levels 2 as and 1 b

and a first in information and media.

mexico red ba(hons)

How the fuck did you do Gcse's?

Surely it was Cse and O Level?

fuck off i was first year, im only a year older than you. cunt

when you going to nazi land

I fumbled through my GCSE's, A Levels and a HND with my usual lack of motivation and putting in just enough effort to do ok.

3 A's and a B at GCSE, 1 B at A Level and a Distinction HND in Business and Finance.  Could have gone on to do a 1 year top up for a degree (and would probably have got a 2:1) but just couldn't be arsed with it.  Education was far too factual and not practical enough.

I have continued this lack of enthusiasm though the first 13 years of my working life!!!

I did Cse and O level :?

Im going to Nazi land on Mon 19th

:shock:  Crikey, A year since I left school. I got all C's, apart from two which were a d and an e!Which is good if you concider I never revised which at the time I thought was really cool. Now I look back and realise what a twat I was! ALWAYS REVISE CHILDREN.

I was one mark off a B in dance :(  I used to love dance, the only lesson where I loved my teacher and loved learning. Everything else I hated.

Good luck!

Chap in Liverpool has just been busted for selling GSCE's.

Although you can still get hold of them pretty easily and the best part is very few employers know how to verify them even if they tried.   8)

I have never, ever, had to present any evidence of my grades, even in the immmediate period after leaving college.

in two jobs, one with an extremely corporate blue chip company I never had to even show my three A's in a level's.  Makes you laugh, I swear being a blagger in life gets you further than being honest.

i never picked up my certificates fuck knows where they are now?

i had that, finished my exam at 3 and had the prom at 6...

gcse's are easy really i barely revised and beat all my expectations.  8)

 Damn right they're easy Johno, but there is a reason....back when I did the GCE, the idea was to weed out  the top 10%, for further education and then higher education....none of the 50% shit you get now, with degrees in watching films.

 Papers were 3 hours long in the 8 or 9 subjects required, with 2 papers  in some of the more stringent subjects like Chemistry and Physics and Latin. :old:

I got 3 A* and 7 A grades, got 2 A's and 2 B's last year and hopefully I'll the 3 A's I need this summer.

:nod:

it's the way forward.

Mmmm I did O levels in Chemistry,Physics,Biology,Maths ,both English exams,History,Technical Drawing(it wasnt called that though),History and Home Econmics.

Failed the lot except History and Home Economics (cooking) :D

I re took English Language and Maths as an adult and got A's in both.GCSE are deffo easier but thats not the fault of the people taking them.You can only do what they put in front of you.Its harder to be a  kids these days and thats a fact.I wouldnt want to relive my childhood now.

had german and english today! it was bloody boiling in the gym, but atleast both are done now. :D I managed to get STFC into my english and PE exams!!!!
got history tomorrow afternoon and then only 3 more exams left!

your joking right....

Eight O's, Two A's, One Honours Degree and One professional membership exam...fuck me thats depressing

results day tomorrow!  :shock:

well good luck then :D

If you pass drink Cider if you fail kill a cat.

:D

17 GCSE's?!! I only did 9!! That was in 95...

He did ten, then listed AS levels and A levels without making it clear!

I got 2 A*s and 8 As last year

This year in AS i got 3 Bs and 2 Cs. looking for atleast 3 Bs this year at full A level

got 2 A's, B in media..rest were C's apart from a few D's quite pleased  8)

Congratulations  :beers:

Just been chatting to nozza. He got..

4 A*s 5 As 2Bs 1C

clever bastard.

Seems like strong evidence that wanking is good for the intellect, Nozza should do a thesis on it.

nozza's a bright lad, someone persuade him to come back.

there was some ginger afroed kid on the news earlier who got 11 A*'s in his gcse's today, he went to abingdon boys. if ever i see him, i'm going to trip him over.

i was just doing my ucas application and had to look up my gcse results, i got B, C, C, D, D, DD, E, F. i was ace.

My GCSE's were crap in comparison to most mentioned on here. Mine ranged from A-E! Mostly C's and D's - can't remember specifics as it was 6 years ago when I got them.

I got to University without a C or Above in Maths so I consider that beating the system  :soapy tit wank:

While watching the womans cricket on sky yesterday, they said one of the English ladies got 10A*'s and an A. (I think it was that anyway).
