Wriggling Snake Feb 2019 4:28pm, 6 Feb 2019 21258 posts	0 Wriggling Snake I distinctly remember it being under half the general population, still is, from the tax/budget/unemployment figures. I might have a go but keep it private unless I thinks do really well
Wriggling Snake Feb 2019 4:32pm, 6 Feb 2019 21259 posts	0 Wriggling Snake thinks FFS! In my Maths A level Mock my teacher took 2% off of my final mark because the twat said I spelt my name incorrectly...I pointed out what my name is, and he still took 2% off. The twat. He was annoyed because the month before he told me I'd fail as I had done no work at all, which was true, but I crammed like made and got 98% (i.e. 100). I stopped doing anymore work that year and got a B.

Alice the Camel Feb 2019 6:52pm, 6 Feb 2019 3704 posts	0 Alice the Camel If I remember correctly, the A level had a section in French.
Surrey Phil Feb 2019 7:06pm, 6 Feb 2019 2850 posts	0 Surrey Phil I took my Maths O Level a year early and scraped through with a C. I did Statistics the following year and failed but have often thought about doing it again as I thought I should have sailed through it. After the exam, I thought that not enough time was given by the examination board to complete the paper.

Little Nemo Feb 2019 9:28pm, 6 Feb 2019 9203 posts	0 Little Nemo I love some of those essay questions! Imagine trying to persuade someone who doesn't like poetry to try some. It's almost saying you're a complete savage if you don't appreciate it
McGoohan Feb 2019 9:39pm, 6 Feb 2019 38287 posts	0 McGoohan Thanks to um for setting up this thread. What I might do is drop a question or two in here every now and then for people to have a ponder rather than a mass of them like on my blog today.
