lavrentis Posted 21 May 2009 Posted 21 May 2009 I had this too, how did you find it?I think i've done ok on most of it and the case study questions were generally pretty good, I think I messed up on the contribution and elasticity of demand questions though, hoping for a C/B to go with the B from unit one. Yeah I didn't do to bad I guess. I think I got the PEOD question right. What was your answer for that? I have had it with Hoiles Crisps now...

Good luck then mate.
Alexikokopops Posted 21 May 2009 Posted 21 May 2009 I recently got told by one of my teachers that he was concerned that I consistently finish early in revision tests.I said to him as long as I keep getting good marks I'm not really fussed if I finish a few minutes early! But well done on your good exam Take it there were no fire alarms then In my final year of my Undergraduate degree I left a three hour exam after 30 minutes and got a 2:1. I really didn't enjoy that subject either, it was brilliant!
Asha Posted 21 May 2009 Posted 21 May 2009 Massive exam tomorrow morning. Failing again will pretty much rule out my college place next year.
The Blur Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Don't mean to rub you lot faces in but.....as I'm doing BTEC- no exams! That is a part of the reason that i drop out A-levels to take BTEC diploma but good luck guys anyway
Asha Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Well, that was without doubt the worst day of my academic life so far. I mean, to go into an exam having built it up, knowing the pressure that was on and having done a fair bit of revision...it was horrible to open the paper and, looking through, realise you've got fcuk all chance of passing. And even worse, to go into a second exam later in the day, and for the same to happen. It's not the personal failure that hurts though, it's seeing my parents pride in me punctured when they find out the results.

Bluefoxtim Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Had a 1st year economics exam today. A 2 hour paper and people started to leave after 30 minutes One exam left, then nearly 5 months off!

maddog Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 The worst grade i've ever got in an exam is D and that was general studies. Until this lot of exams i had never resat an exam in my life. Resiting 6 now though Had one today, ran out of time and lost like 15 marks for it, so the chances of improving my B to an A are zero Dreading the last few maths and chemistry exams though, too hard to even get a B.
lavrentis Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Are you allowed to resit a resit? Probably if you pay.
StanSP Posted 22 May 2009 Posted 22 May 2009 Are you allowed to resit a resit? Not sure about May/June resits. Can resit January resits in June.
Guest Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 Are you allowed to resit a resit? A mate of mine spent 6th form retaking her maths GCSE. In the end her mother paid for private tuition so that she could get the required C grade.
StanSP Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 A mate of mine spent 6th form retaking her maths GCSE. In the end her mother paid for private tuition so that she could get the required C grade. Did she get it in the end? Bit of a waste if she didn't.
Guest Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 Did she get it in the end?Bit of a waste if she didn't. Eventually. We joked about her mum paying the school off!! But this was the same girl who I know had 7 driving tests, and between our group of friends worked out that she had at least 12!!

It's not you is it?
Guest Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 Oh dear.And Maths GCSE isn't the hardest thing in the world. It's not you is it? Ha ha, I knew someone would ask that! No it isn't. I passed both at the first attempt.
StanSP Posted 23 May 2009 Posted 23 May 2009 Ha ha, I knew someone would ask that!No it isn't. I passed both at the first attempt. It just had to be done sooner or later! Well done!
