and so many distractions, this is me being distracted now by
writing this but i just can't help it

i hope you are not revising for english. If you are, spend
some more time and find out the difference between right and
write.

i never revised for my GCSE exams.

I got a C in science.
that was the best mark i got. all the rest were D's E's F's
G's and i got a U for Religious Education (that's because i
sat there and wrote one sentence, then couldn't be arsed)

I've just done my finals for uni. Amusingly, I did far less
revision than I did for my GCSEs, even for my A Levels. When
I'm interested in something, I read it once and that's it- I
remember it for ever. If something bores me I have to cover
it literally dozens of times. Scientific drawings and
equations are the worse. No matter how I try to convince
myself to learn them, a part of my brain says, "Fuck this,
this is stupid- so long as I know which equation or
standard, etc. to apply and how to find it out (from
reference books, magazines etc.) it's irrelevant."

In most (technical) jobs, you know all the regularly
occuring stuff off by heart and for those you learn
equations/procedures over time. If it's a once in a blue
moon occurence, no one thinks any less of you for checking a
textbook/asking a senior person. If anything, it makes you
appear less foolhardy.

LOL
we need to break the cycle before it becomes established!
tough on exams, tough on the causes of exams.

this june is the first in ten years that i haven't
had end of year exams (graduated uni last year). it's quite
weird having the structure of your year all messed up, exams
have always been such a key fixture marking the beginning of
summer.

guess i should probably enjoy it this year cos i'm starting
a new 4 year course next year with exams every six weeks...
arse.....

thanks oscillik : )

in france it's called "baccalauréat" (or simply "bac"), and
in germany "abitur".

btw i like the danish grading system, it's pretty original... and
to get a 13 must be extremely satisfying i guess!!

in france it's just marks /20, with /10 as the lowest pass
grade.
