DP: What a fun mock that was...
Here's a fun fact.
There are two exits out of our exam hall. I always get sat far away from the right door, the one they always use.
Anyway, last proper GCSE test we did, I sat right next to the right door thinking yay, I don't have to waste my life sitting bored while the man SLOWLY let's out everybody row by row.
Then what does he do, he let's everybody out of the left door  ::2mad

I agree, we had this to one of my last exams.

It's very much Lawful Useless and a waste of time and manpower. When people just rush and enter the amphitheater normally, it's faster and I honestly see no use to that.

Yep, I agree Nar, I hate pointless rules myself with a passion.
One thing that was hillarious, in last yers mocks the guy was reading out the rules (in case we didn't know them already!) and then randomly went off on a tangent about how mobile phones were a "bloomin menace" and how he didn't see the point of them  :laughing

Have you noticed how all the "invigilators" seem to be really creepy people?

Final HS exams (Matura) in May or so.

Right now when we did some preliminary tests, I got 94% at mathematics... I am quite happy.

lawlz

Our teacher was so scary that only 3 people (out of 30+) passed his exam (barely passed). dayum

But I'm pretty sure that's gonna change next time, though. I don't think he can pull off tricky questions when it's just about chain rules. :P

Pretty much HS math + 1st year college math. Only math buffs can ace the class. Regulars (like me) either fail or barely pass. He generally passes everyone in the 4th quarter, but it still hurts. XD

Let me sum up my life with a single picture:

(http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kqvjtdQutI1qzhit2o1_500.jpg)

Depends on the topic, I guess. I suck at limits, but I pwn at chaining derivatives. Unless our evil teacher finds a way to somewhat throw us off again. >.<


@ G.K. - Yep. We started calculus right after conics, which was done after the 3rd week of school.

Limits and derivatives are generally easy to guess... but the problem is that mostly, I give the result without explaining enough. :P

Post by: Scorpion on December 07, 2010, 10:55:23 AM
Mwahaha, i've done all my maths tests  :p

Anyway, I finally was let out first!!  :dance:
The bad thing though was that it was a 2 hour long technology (woodwork) test  :frown:

Yeah, I really don't care about woodwork, it was a subject I was forced to take, so I just wrote jokey awnsers to pretty much everything and was done in half an hour.
Luckily I had a screw randomly on my desk which kept me amused for the next hour.
I left the screw on the desk for the next person with an arrow pointing to it saying "sanity screw".

A generation with barely any self-control. I thought it was easier to moderate your own actions when you're online, but apparently the new kids think it's cool to rebel against everything. It really saddens me when I see high-class douchebags ditching class just for teh lulz. Their quarterly tuition fee is roughly equivalent to my yearly tuition fee. Throwing parents' money away, as if cash is just like a condom. They cheat in exams, tried to blackmail their teachers, and they'll probably have sex for teh lulz as well. And this generation will inherit the world in time.

Whoopee. >.<

Starting late is not necessarily a bad thing. Which is why some people opted to take up masters' degrees instead of going straight to their job-hunting sprees.

I go to the top private school in north of England and most kids there don't give a Flying Fox about their education, they just suck off of their parents cash. I mean, when Black Ops came out, we had half classes all day because people were 'poorly'.

This was probably one of the reasons why I chose to enroll in a public university instead of a private one. I can't perform well when surrounded by ****ups, even if the teachers were awesome.

I was excused from taking any physics exams when I was in the national robotics team. Too bad it was about mechanics, though. I love classical mechanics. :P

Damn, I miss high school. I still can't believe us engineering students are required to take up literature (it would've been fine if it was European literature, but NO they just HAD to force us to take up local literature). >.<
