Default A-Levels

Anyone get their results today?


It's nonsense about them getting easier... The girl on channel 4 just wants to go to uni for 'a more better job'

One in twelve apparently scores more than 90% either they're getting easier or youngsters are getting a helluva lot cleverer! Lol.

In what though. Travel and tourism? Media? Breathing?

The best students will get the best places at uni. Always. You could give every student the exam paper the day before and I bet the ranking of the students wouldn't change much.

This guy sounds pretty smart. For one thing he took more subjects than most...

I remember going to assessment centres (2 day long interviews) where there were loads of people super-qualified but weird. They bounced form interview to interview as their CV was strong enough to get them that far, but their complete lack of social skills prevented them from going any further. I'd imagine the same applies to this kraut. Clever but a weirdy-beardy.

my current experiment is to resit an a -level i did 10 + years ago. Whilst the content hasnt changed the modular format does make it easier to study and do the exam. I have done 2 x 1.5hr exams with 8 q in each paper.
I think the first time round it was 2 papers in the 2nd year 2- 3hr each maybe. So far my results are well up on first time round.
