I've got my GCSE exams coming up soon, so I probably wont be able to post for a few weeks now...
Yah I know that there isn't much point in me saying this because i'm not really important enough in this forum (or any for the matter) for anybody to notice, but hey...
Be back in a few week,
Jules

PS. my first exams on Monday (Italian and Latin, I'm going to die...)

Good Luck, I know I'd bomb those first two exams. I can't learn a foreign language for the life of me.

Hey, at least you're not being tested on Japanese and Latin. Latin and Italian are relatively close cousins. (IIRC, certain regions of Tuscany actually speak a form of Latin.)

Good Luck.

GCSE tests? Let me see... you live in GB? hmm, it looks like a equivalent of Monitor 9 here: I passed 60% from math and 75% from slovak language.

So anyways, good luck.

Thank God our minister of education didn't threw foreign language exams in Monitor...

but they want to do it now. Hehe, it's already past me now!

I am pathetic with languages .. I consitently get nearly 40 - 50 % in languages (whatever be the language !) and 90 - 100 % in Mathematics in most of the exams ... I find languages very hard i only learned the alphabets only when i got 10 years old , I was initially considered as mentally retarded child , but i did work very hard

I'm no good at math. Usually, I get 2s and from exams 3s. In worse cases, 4... I almost have the primary school done and I'm coming to gymnasium in September. I, thank God, didn't have to write "entrance exams".

On my college entrance exams I scored > 90% in the math portions. I'm usually a good tester to begin with but math is my strong point.

Languages are a toughy for me as well. I took Latin 1 & 2 in HighSchool, but not since, and I am self-studying German and Swedish.

Had my last exam today, Biology, don't have any more for two weeks now and i'll be back around for a bit and best of all:
I NEVER HAVE TO DO LATIN AGAIN IN MY LIFE YEAYEAYEAY
I suffered under it's evil tyranny for 6 years.
Well most of my hard exams are finished now so I might add a to my OS code in my weeks break.

Hi,

My GCSE's are a distant memory now but good luck for the rest. I didn't realise that anyone studied latin any more though (since the old Universities dropped it as an entrance requirement). I guess it ties in nicely with the Italian. My stongest subject was definitely Biology, but then my school didn't offer CS at the time.

Are you hoping to go on to A-levels afterwards? If so, out of interest, what ones are you going for?

Cheers,
Adam

A-level wise, go for Maths, Further Maths, and Further Maths (additional) - i.e. the whole 18 modules.

I did that, and absolutely loved every minute of it! (I also did physics at A2, and chemistry at AS).

I took pure maths with statistics and that was bad enough - Chemistry and Biology were fine. I don't know how I passed maths, though

Cheers,

I did latin because my parents think it impresses universities.
I am going to do AS/A levels and i've selected Math, Further maths, Chemistry, Biology, Physics and CT (though the CT is only because i'm in a college were we don't have a choice, we have to do it).

I crashed and burned in my HSC (Wikipedia tells me it is roughly equivelant to your A-level exams) and got a poor UAI (Universities Admission Index)

That was a few years back, though.
