[Mr Q]

I can't wait till this dissertation is over. Trying to do all nighters but it's hard because I'm so tired banging out nuff work in the daytime.Oh yeah, for those that graduated, how much were your graduation gowns to hire? My uni is trying to say £100+ to hire a gown. I know they are taking the piss but what can you do boy.

f*ck*ng hell, £100?!?! People at my uni complaining because its £38. Don't see why it costs over £15 when its for a few hours max.

Sociology retake this morning was bless. A bit too bless actually, considering I did not revise at all. The questions were bait, basically were on the only parts I knew.

lol sociology a-level is a joke

Then most riff raff off the streets should have no problem getting the required grades to get into most top 10 Universities. Right? To be honest, I wouldn't say Sociology was a joke, but it's certainly easier than most.

I disagree. The 1st year of Soci was pretty piss. This year though hmph, is pretty hefty. *pats self on back for waking up and doing 2hours revision before going to college*

Fam you're only saying that to make yourself feel more superior. Fact is, if you can get onto A levels, you can do relatively well in them with only a small bit of focus.

Lol @ that theory.

[Guest Ian Wright 8]

Lol @ that theory.

Don't be upset cos you're struggling with your A levels.The fact that some geezer did 20+ A levels backs up my point.PS How are the Yale/Columbia applications going?

Some levels of fail at my College are enough to disprove your theory. With a small bit of focus you can get 3 A's right? Maybe even 4, in Biology, Maths, English Lit and Geography? Righttttttt.I see, not even going to go into how broad the subjects are, but really.

"Ian Wright 8" is right though.If you're fairly intelligent you don't even need to fully apply yourself throughout the year to do well at the end.

Time will tell on this one for me.Only subject I actually applied myself in from day 1 was the Cosmology unit of Physics, the rest I pretty much just came to lesson and watched what the teacher was doing making minimal notes and pretty much not taking anything in. Didn't start working properly until about a month or 2 ago.

Lol, here comes the backtrack. You said you needed a fair bit of focus to go into college and come out with A levels. I don't know what you define as failure, but just because techniquely 3 E's is a pass doesn't mean it's a pass. You probably had D's in mind when you were blathering on about A levels being standard.

ur a dumb c*nti meant what i meant, a levels are generally easy for someone of moderate intelligence, and I meant to get As and Bs. I'm not sure about A*s because they've just come insorry if u don't like iti can help u if ur struggling

[Platinum50]

a levels seems more of a memory n effort test than intelligence to me

Swear down if you can't get an A in a level maths you must be mentally challenged.

there are many reasons why one would not get an A, you found it easy, good for you but allow such stupid assumptions
