Some art one.

I really hate revising. It's boring, but it never seems to help me. I actually revised for sn A level paper when I was in college, and this paper didn't have one single question on any of it, I had barely any idea what to do. Luckily I'm very good at electronics. Everyone else seemed to find it hard. Ironic since it was the easy paper. So yeah, exams are f**ked up. Some GCSE ones such as Systems & Control are actually really good though. I would prefer it if students were examined vocally. Being able to make queries about a question would be so helpful. Of course, that'd take too long and cost too much money....don't you love the government?

I do my actual Standard Grades next year, I'd like to think I'll do well. It's the English pre-lims I'm most worried about.

You're 3rd year, same as me. We do our pre-lims in December. My brother showed me the Int 2 exam, and they gave you 3 marks for a simple factorising question.

I decided against taking art, seems it was a smart choice.. although up here in Scotland none of my mates have at a 12 hr Art exam 0.o

I also personally like you idea of having vocal examinations of subjects, as you normally can explain something better with words than you can by writting it =D

i just did the int 2 maths exam today and it was piss easy, much easier than the credit one (as ive done it as practice) and int 2 is meant to look better on a cv

i did credit maths last year though, 4 out of 80 ftw

I hate exams with a passion. ;P

I just cba to study tbh. I have much better things to do. I do study though. cause i need to pass xD

i had a 10 hour exam for my art exam, and 2 10 hour exams and 1 12 hour exam for my expersive arts corse. so yeah, total of 32 hours lol

My exams start tomorrow and finish the 20th of july. I just want to get over with it so I can get into computer school.

Aye, who doesn't hate exams?

I'm finishing all of mine this summer. I've got Biotechnology, Physics, Biochemistry, Literature, Bible (yes, we have to study this stuff here), another exam, in terminology, that consists of writing an article about a random subject, and finally, the last one - Civics. Gonna do the practical exam in Biotech tomorrow, and then getting rid of biochem next week. Next is physics, and then I'm done basically, only the "less-important" subjects are left - terminology, civics, and bible. Thank God, I'm already done with math, english and history.

I used to love exams back in the day actually coz I used to get kicked out of the class and suspended for being one of the most troublesome kids in school and exams were my only way I could show the finger to the lecturers. :)

haha yeah. nice one :)
im just pretty average tbh
do the exam
get a c
do another get an e
la la la de dar

I got a bunch of 2/3 hour exams coming up in less than two weeks. They're my last ever high school finals, but they will still suck, especially since most of my courses are college level.

Hold tight the person who was letting off eggy smelling farts in the exam I had this morning :sick:. You. Must. Die!

lol unlucky! probably the person infront xP

exams are good imo, when there over theres no more work and u get a break..

Yeah I saw the Int 2 exam, I could do every question in it except the sine wave and a few others. My class is so far ahead we're gonna start doing some Higher coursework within the next year ;)

The English pre-lims are my biggest worry, I'm in a Credit English class doing Int 2 (we're apparently capable of doing this) and it's difficult, I just passed my Int 2 Critical Essay. My Reading wasn't so bad, 17/30 for it. I got an overall C award :/.

i just did the int 2 english last wednesday and it wasnt too hard, the close reading was easy

the only really difficult thing is making sure you have quotes which can answer most essay questions or else your pretty much screwed

I got off light, 1hr 30mins to answer one question. I chose a question from Prose and I did it on J.B. Priestly's "An Inspector Calls". We were advised to use that play in our question, and the question I chose was about choosing a play about an important thing in society. I chose Respect, I completely missed the point of the question and I got 12/25 ^_^ Only just passed, thank christ. The Close Reading was a bit hard, it's awkward to answer some of the questions.

Btw, tell me your marks when you get them back, then we'll see if it was easy or not ;)

I hate everything related to school.

School is waste of time you could've used here on ragezone...

lucky, we got that amount of time to do two questions

i did Lord Of The Flies (fucked up) for prose and A View From The Bridge for drama (quite easy)

the close reading was easy compared to previous years
