Well four people i know had exam results today and together they got 14 A's and 3 B's so make of that what you will... Basically, if you're struggling, it means all my friends are intelligent and wonderful people who'll be able to laugh in the face of the embittered Daily Mail reader and their crap attempt to justify their own failings Which can't be bad! Well done all

Nice one, Giggy. That's a hell of an array of deservedness! ;D Definitely keep the Maths if you can. They reckon it's the best core theory subject for Medecine anyway. Ironically, even Biology is not rated as highly! And you can drop the Latin these days as well! Really chuffed for you too, Sal! Maybe there's a righteous form of higher justice after all!

ooooh, shall i point out i failed my second year of Uni Had i gone to a uni that wasn't run by semi-trained chimps i would've been fine. Fortunately i can actually DO all the stuff i have to resit so i'll get back in. I'll just have a poo and as such pointless degree this time next year. Suffice to say the temptation to initiate a massive smear campaign on the twats is rising.

I'll chip in with mine. English Language and Literature - A (268/300) (full marks on the novel exam, for which i never actually read the books...system clearly fails somewhere ) PE - A (263/300) Business and Economics - A (250/300) Biology - B (219/300) Critical Thinking (OK so not a real subject!) - B (213/300) So much better than i'd expected! Thought i'd do well in pe and business, just because they're my favourite subjects and the least challenging! Was totally shocked with english and biology results, but it now means i can drop business and carry on with biology which i didn't think would be an option. ;D

Ooh, full marks eh. That's what happens when the examiner reads fuckloads of shite and stuff lifted out of the guidebooks for the A-Level and gets some independent thought (which was basically you winging it but much the same thing as nobody else would write the same thing and if it's good yer laughing).
Best i ever managed was 117/120 in a paper in my Business Studies A-Level. Not a f**k**g clue how i lost three marks because i was so on form that day i quite frankly should have been given the A-Level and told not to worry about the rest of the papers.

lol well however i managed it i'm not complaining! 105/105 on the novel bit and 90/90 on coursework, but got myself a lovely round C on the poetry exam...might have been cos i put something along the lines of it all being a load of rubbish that i don't understand, nevermind

Mind you I am struggling to think of a career path for Hannah with that combination of subjects..... So many people have said that. personally i think they all lend themselves nicely to sports journalism. english obviously, but with pe i widen my knowledge of the social side of sport, biology firstly helps with pe and secondly gives me a better understanding of sports injuries, business shows me the ins and outs of running a business (a football club etc) and critical thinking is a waste of time ...but supposedly shows me how to develop an argument. i reckon all these things can help me write about every aspect of sport with a reasonable level of confidence. failing that, pe and biology give me options in sports therapy and sports development...which means i won't have to go to Staffordshire if i choose to do one of those ;D it's all a confusing business

Well done everyone who took, let alone passed, their exams. My daughter has just finished her nursing degree. Only four per cent of student nurses do a degree, the other ninety-six per cent do a diploma, but they all start on the same lowest pay grade. I've just got the equivalent of a GCSE grade A in Italian (OCR grade 9) so I'm feeling particularly chuffed with my old self ;D. If you want to keep the brain cells active after reaching the age of 50, I'm 57, learn a new language.
