AjcW Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Got four exams in the sports hall of the SU... genius planning from NTU, four doors wide open and access still permitted to all non exam participants to the rather noisy SU and surrounding areas. Cheers then!
ousefox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Got sociology tomorrow, 7 shorter questions i think and 3 essays in 2 hours, don't think i'll be able to move my hand for the whole weekend!
Brown Fox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Had my general studies re-sit today. Don't have a bloody clue why!
ousefox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Had my general studies re-sit today. Don't have a bloody clue why! yours about citizenship and patriotism?
Brown Fox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 yours about citizenship and patriotism? Yeah and the multiple choice was about the ICA or some performing arts thing!
ousefox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Yeah and the multiple choice was about the ICA or some performing arts thing! yup, first time i'd ever seen a general studies paper! very weird exam, and so pointless too, the amount of money wasted on marking them when nobody cares about it must be huge
Brown Fox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 yup, first time i'd ever seen a general studies paper! very weird exam, and so pointless too, the amount of money wasted on marking them when nobody cares about it must be huge Yeah so so weird. Don't know how they mark the essay questions when it's mainly your opinion so isn't right or wrong! Surprised unis take it. I know that Liverpool and Newcastle accept it for some courses which is crazy as well!
ScouseFox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Liverpool Uni accept it for courses such a law etc, courses that require 3 As, like their better courses, so it's not all that pointless, surely?
The Doctor Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 No, general studies is the most pointless subject there is.
ajthefox Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Liverpool Uni accept it for courses such a law etc, courses that require 3 As, like their better courses, so it's not all that pointless, surely? Are you positive about that? I applied to do architecture 2 years ago and I don't remember seeing anywhere that accepted General Studies as part of their requirements and I actually applied to Liverpool as it goes!
Christoph Posted 19 May 2011 Posted 19 May 2011 Leicester uni accept general studies. I got an A in my first exam and an E in my second, both while high smoking weed. Figured it worked so well the first time it could only work well the second, onyl to be sat there struggling on simple maths skills thinking "maaaaaan im too high for this"

I applied to do architecture 2 years ago and I don't remember seeing anywhere that accepted General Studies as part of their requirements and I actually applied to Liverpool as it goes! Depends on the course, I think. Some courses they take it, some don't, not sure what makes it acceptable for things like law, maths or languages, but not for other things. Still, discarding it as completely useless seems a bit OTT, it could come it pretty useful if it's as easy as people make out.
Leicester Lass Posted 23 May 2011 Posted 23 May 2011 Got 4 exams in the space of 3 days at the end of this week, absolutely brutal.

PegguyArphexad Posted 23 May 2011 Posted 23 May 2011 Handed in 20,000 words today... Next 2 weeks I have 4 x 3 hour exams. I could literally cry! But, in anticipation of not screwing up the exams entirely, I will have a law degree! Boom.
The Doctor Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 Probably failed the general studies exam today. Ah well, at least all my exams left are for useful subjects.
ousefox Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 Probably failed the general studies exam today. Ah well, at least all my exams left are for useful subjects. Same! Could not be arsed at all, and don't have a bloody clue about science! can't even see myself getting any better than a C in it
Tom17LCFC Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 Probably failed the general studies exam today. Ah well, at least all my exams left are for useful subjects. so ridiculous! writing about trains and internet policing. only highlight of that was watching a lad in the hall go to have a swig of his drink and spill it all down him haha.
The Doctor Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 Same! Could not be arsed at all, and don't have a bloody clue about science! can't even see myself getting any better than a C in it Science? The only science question on my paper was on global warming, and i used that as an excuse to call the government two-faced people (can't swear in an exam) who impose all sorts of taxes to reduce CO2 emissions by joe public but then put shed-loads of CO2 out through air travel, committing hundreds of troops to immoral and illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also called them money-grabbers and accused them of fabricating evidence to invade Iraq and Afghanistan, of concoting the whole "global warming - you're all killing the planet" story when there is no conclusive evidence that human activity has caused global warming and of editing sections of the internet to make the public who oppose them look like criminals or lunatics.

Same exam as me. Put my pen down after 32 minutes exactly, scrawled something out for each question to ensure a pass of some sort.
Guest Mee-9 Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 AS Law Retake and Psychology Retake. DONE. 4 down, 2 to go. ICT and Psychology to go.
The Doctor Posted 25 May 2011 Posted 25 May 2011 AS Law Retake and Psychology Retake. DONE. 4 down, 2 to go. ICT and Psychology to go. you're gonna fail them all. on a less grim note: Good Luck.
