Hannah Shucksmith Posted March 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I think the main reason I'm panicking about my exams is because my coursework isn't all to the best standard I know I could have achieved, and my courses are mainly something along the lines of 50% coursework, 50% exams, so I know I've got to do well in my exams to sustain a good grade. I'm also panicking because I need B's at least, to get a place on my chosen college courses. I'm one of these people who looks at things with a really pessimistic view, and so I'm putting more and more pressure on myself. I suppose, yes, I could re-take exams in college, but it's not something I really want to do.I've found using the older revision books helps me alot more than the recently published revision books, since they contain all the topics that I've been told could crop up in the exam, but they're taught with the older methods, of which I seem to be more accustomed to.

Sam F Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 to TheCircus, just because i f**ked up at school doesn't mean my lifes f**ked. I can go to college and just do GCSE over again if i really wanted to.Get an access course into Uni, and to be fair.. i'm just having fun at my age while i can instead of sitting in doors and revising.Good luck to them people willing to do that, but i'm just not one of them.I'd rather not do anything for 4 years or so and just do riding, going out and general activites till i'm about 20 then figure somthing out with my life.When i mean anything i mean education, i will get a job.

Muel Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I'm guessing his point is, you'll feel fantastic at 20 having to do 2 years of GCSEs, then 2 years of college before you can even get to Uni.Surely it's better to get them done the first time round?

What I will say is that if you leave school and 'do nothing' for 4 years, good luck getting a job. Gaps on your CV don't look good, you really don't want to be having your first job at 20 years old because it will not look good at all.Secondly, what do you mean 'not do anything'? So when you're mates are all off down the pub and you can't go because your broke you'll have to sponge off one of them, if they still talk to you that is. I dont quite think you understand how long 4 years is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam F Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I don't know, i don't really care, i've got a good 50 years left in me so weather i do them now or at 20 does it really matter?You're 15, this view will almost certainly change because I had a similar point of view myself at your age.I don't want to leacture you because quite honest I cant be bothered and you probably couldn't give a toss anyway.

JD™ Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 (edited) Sam, do what you want with your life, but you WILL regret it if you don't do it now while you have no other responsibilities. I had exactly the same attitude as you at your age, but I soldiered on and went to college. By the end of that it was just too much information so I quit after A levels and didn't bother with Uni. So I'm kind of half way to being in the situation you're in. Let me tell you how it happened for me:Quit CollegeGot a job in Morrisons to 'tide me over' (ended up staying for 3 years )Got kicked out of the family home ("If you want to do it your way, do it your way on your own" sort of thing)Spent the next year or so moving between mates houses and rented roomsGiven a handout by my dad, who let me live in a flat he'd bought as long as I paid the mortgage 100%The rest is boring details, but I'm basically now stuck in job I don't like (sales), I work at weekends to make the ends meet just to pay for everything. I have no social life because my mates are free to do as they please and my relationship with my girlfriend is notoriously shit because of the constant stress I place us under. Because of all this, I can't afford to go to uni now and the only way I'll ever get a degree is if I do an OU course which is nowhere near as credible to an employer. I'm not saying "if you don't carry on with education you will get kicked out blah blah blah", but why would you deny yourself the best start in life? I know why - it's stubborness in believing you know best (I know because I thought the same). The reality is you don't. Your peers who have been there and done that know best and are just trying to help you.Would you rather build a house on concrete or water? Education is your concrete, your life is the house.

anzo Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 fanny. All i say.? I was joking kiddo, chill.Would you rather build a house on concrete or water? Education is your concrete, your life is the house.Excellent metaphor by the way. I never went to university either, but managed to land the job I wanted through hard work...and its took me nearly 5 years to get here, and if I'm honest; I wouldn't like to be starting all the previous stuff I've done right now at 21.

Simon Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 I got a D in Maths and failed every other exam except English and IT, now i work with computers earning a shed load more then the general average for my age because i dropped out of college after obtaining a qualification that no employer has even looked at let alone asked for and got straight into a job, so when my current job saw i already had 9 months work experience they asked me to start the week after my interview, which was on a Wednesday, regardless of my crap GCSE and college results.Yes, i was extremely lucky and i spend a shit load of my teenage years working till 2-3am on personal sites to obtain more knowledge then they even teach you at Uni (as proven by a starter at the company who had all his flashy initials after his name yet knew practically shit all).GCSE's are not the be all and end all, s'all i'm saying.Best of luck.

stoozie Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 I only scraped in with my GCSE's to get into sixth form. Finished the first year with allright grades, quit after 3 weeks into the second year, and now earning more than most people my age doing CAD drawing for a local swimming pool company.You really need something to fall back on if you feel like your going to fail.

ManxTrialSpaz Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 GCSEs? Piece of piss, and if you're planning on doing A levels, they're next to worthless. So just do as much as you need to to do and you'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hannah Shucksmith Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Art's over! Walked in there today, sat down and just drew whatever came into my head, scraped yesterdays idea. Ended up doing a massive canvas painting of a treble cleft on a bed of roses. Wall a ball-ache and I still can't feel my upper right arm, |: Teacher said I've secured myself a good grade, mind. Although I actually did it in half the time... Spanish speaking tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
