A-Level Results!

[Cotterik]

Just a heads up to any other 18 year olds in the UK or anyone else in the world who this week collected their A-Level (college exam results). Congrats to everyone who's finally finished college and got the results they deserved

I got an A in Media, B in Art and C in graphics so I'm really pleased. I also got full marks in my photography project which is great I'm now having a year break before i choose where to go to university. Earn some money while im off, go on holiday and have a good time!

I also want to take this time while im drunk off my face to say how much of a great time I've had on UCP since i joined in 2004. Its always been my place of refuge when i shouldve been studying and I've made some great friendships here. I've also recently made a few enemies but I can honestly say I'm very grateful for all the members who make this such a great forum and sorry to those who have witnessed my not so admirable side over the years. I love you all

that is all

ahh A-levels, never had to go through it because we left guyana when I was 12 but I saw the hell my sister went through and Im happy I never had to do it

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Yup, just finished mine- A's in Media and General Studies, B's in English Literature and Music Technology, and a D in Music. Enough to get two people onto my course at uni. Well done anyone who's picked theirs up, even you Rik!

[Cotterik]

what do you mean even me

[baddabang]

Are these like SAT's?

[Cotterik]

hmm i dunno my SAT's were 7 years ago

[The_Canuck]

Damn British education system...

[Cotterik]

it goes like this: 11 years old: SAT's. 16 years old GCSE's. 18 years old A-Levels.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

For the americans - yeah, it's like SAT's.

These scores help you get into "college".

Congratulations to those who are joining the wonderful world of university.

if you have an equivalent to an "o" week - i do recommend attending. EVERY event.

[baddabang]

Funny, I got into college and never took the SAT's.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Did you do an equivalancy or something? because thats pretty good if you did.

[baddabang]

Did you do an equivalancy or something? because thats pretty good if you did.

Nope, I hear alot of colleges are drifting away from them. Some people just suck at taking tests.

[IBrake4Rainbows]

Thats quite true. i guess we're not required to call upon all of our available skills to write on a 2 hour test in the real world.

[clutch-monkey]

i like how high schools hype up the importance of these tests, which then proceed to mean jack shit after first tertiary enrolment, lol.
