mcneilp Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Its that time of year again! :ohnoes: Around this time in August, In the UK, young people are opening envelopes (or logging onto internet) to find out how they done in their Standard Grades/Highers/Intermediates (In scotland) or GCSE's/A Levels (In England). If this is you, did you do better than you expected or were expected to do? Did you do worse? Whats your plan for next year? (stay on at school, college, uni) Anything else to do with exams? Discuss : I got my results today and done better than was expected of me. Only thing is, i recently found out i can't do the job i have always wanted to do, due to factors no one can change. So opening the envelope today, i wasn't to bothered what the results were (Kinda bad attitude to have... :oops: ) as i know i will never be able to do my dream job. When i go back to school, it will be my last year and i plan to just fart about and have a laugh (best days of your life, right?) until i find another career i'm interested in, which i might even have enough qualifications for. Post Away!! It isn't in the castle, It isn't in the mist, It's a calling of the waters, As they break to show, The new Black Death, With reactors aglow, Do you think your security, Can keep you in purity, You will not shake us off above or belowScottish frictionScottish fiction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loge_05 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'm in Scotland so I sat standard grades and managed to get eight grade "1"s. Swot. Seriously though, well done. Have fun with Highers. Offline and unavailable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenslime89 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Seriously though, well done. Have fun with Highers. Well, I'm taking five highers officially, but I'm studying music during lunch to hopefully get myself a sixth higher. I'm going for a job that there's only one university in Scotland that offers it. So I've got to have more to offer than all the other applicants - fifty-six places for each year. It'll be pretty damn competitive. Hopefully I'll be able to manage the six, but if I can't - music is out. Photos! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully I'll be able to manage the six, but if I can't - music is out. You seem fairly clever but i wouldn't overload on the highers...they are a big jump from standard grades, beleive me. I presume you are in 4th year of high school, so i would space all your highers out over 5th and 6th year...it is still tough going but not as tough as trying to do em all in a year, you'll manage tho. Drop the music, when exam time comes you will regret taking it... Yeah, all you americans post whatever grades or stuff you get in exams, may need to explain 'em tho!

killmenub Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 ethebloody"]Hopefully taking, maths, english lit, psycology and sociology. Bad subjects to take unless your EXTREMELY smart, take one or two of those, but not them all together, will be too much to handle while having fun - which is what sixth forms about before REAL work. I get my ASLevels on the 18th, need three E's to stay in sixthform :roll: Already got an A and B in english which is like 40% of overall AS. And got an A in Business which is 30% of overall AS. And no i'm not a nerd, im failing IT (computing) not because its hard but because its no computing, its lets write a essay every lesson on word for the whole year, and i didnt do my coursework. For those who are going sixth form make sure you take subjects that you enjoy :P IGN: HesFearless. -Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
