There goes my B grade in Maths and place at Uni after those 2 exams today.

Core 3 is just way too hard for me. :cry:

I'm eating Dairy Milk Caramel to make me feel better :celebrate:

I need a B too in Maths but Core 3 was a bitch yesterday, harder than previous years. I simply can't do Core 4 so I desperately needed a really good Core 3 paper. :angry:

Doing Core 4 next week and probably need to totally nail it to get a B in maths overall.

Although haven't got a fooking clue how Core 3 went, normally i remember the entire exam and check the questions and work out the answers at home, but my mind just went blank after it and i had to resit mechanics after and totally forgot everything lol Probably got a U in my resit mechanics, but only a couple of marks off a B first time round so i probably shouldn't have resat it :P

I know i've got some core 3 questions right, like the find the gradient, then show the equation of the tangent is 2x+3y=25 or summat rememberd that one lol. Then you had to estimate the area of the shaded regions which i think was the area under the tangent which you worked out from that equation takeaway the area under the curve which you worked out by integration but i probably fooked up the integration bit. But that whole question is the only one i know i've done pretty decent on lol. Did you do that paper Dan?

But the others could have gone either way lol.

Normally i pretty much know the grade i've got but this one could be anything from a B-E :D

Then the quotient rule/product rule/chain rule questions should be ok unless i've made silly mistakes. But was unsure on quite a few questions on what to do.

My teachers were shit. Well one of them was. The other one is actually quite a safe guy and really funny. When talking about the Aurora Borealis, my mate asked 'What causes all the crazy colours then?'. My teacher replies within seconds: 'What? LSD?' :crylaugh:

lol but the other teacher just talked about drugs and cottaging and stuff to do in Amsterdam. Gave us useless articles from the Guardian which he absolutely loved and probably wanked over it every night. Basically we had to self teach ourselves. And couldn't stand another year doing it.

My old geography teacher, I swear right everytime he mentioned erosion he paused for a minute as if in thought, and then went into his office for 5.

Also had this teacher who forgot to teach an A-Level class one side of the specification/syllabus. He only realised a week before the exam.

Thankfully he wasn't my teacher.

Yep that was the bastard paper lol, I'm confident on 60% of the paper but that just isn't enough because I know I'll be lucky to get only half marks on Core 4. Core 4 needs to be the easiest it's been for a few years or else I'm in big trouble.

First exam tomorrow, psychology. I'll be glad to get this one over and done with to be honest, it's taken over my life this week. If the predicted questions come up it can be absolutely nailed. Anything other than this though and I'm a bit screwed..... :unsure:

A pass is a pass, right?

Or is that just really at GCSE to get into 6th Form where A Levels become important and GCSEs can be forgotten about.

As long as you don't mess up your GCSE's you're usually ok.

Uni's are much harsher with what they want.

I needed ABB to get onto my course.
