Finally, I've polished off all of my A-levels. I've now got no exams to worry about for months and months! If I cocked them up, none ever again!

Hurray!

I just can't help but think it's weird, for me, school's always been let out by May 31st (except for seniors, we got out around the 14th), and almost everyone else here just finishing exams and it's the end of June!

Different places, different educational systems, I guess. And from what I'm always hearing, you're held to higher standards, right?


EDIT: I don't even know what an A-level is...unless you're talking about the standard grading system, which I'm assuming you aren't.

You do GCSEs (general certificate of secondary education) at 14-16 then Advanced level qualifications (GCEs) and vocational courses like GNVQs (general national vocational qualification) and AVCEs (advanced vocational certificate of education) in sixth form.

There are way too many acronyms.

School is still in for one or two weeks down here, but as I'm a slack uni bastard we finish earlier. And remember that this is only first semester break(the short one)here. We don't get our 3 month break until the end of the year.

*hides* Please don't say GCSE. I have about twenty pages of coursework to finish, and it's all due in next Wednesday...

You've actually done 20 pages for one piece of coursework? I probably did 25 pages total for all of my GCSE coursework...

Rissa - GCSE coursework is, and always has been, evaluated according to how much forestry had to be destroyed to create the work. If you can cause the auditing examiner's desk to snap in two under the huge bulk, that's an automatic A*. Believe me it's piss easy compared to A-levels. At one point I was revising so hard, I had dreams about calculus. Useful dreams, but it's quite worrying none the less.

I'm thanking whatever deity there is that we don't have the same exam methods over here...

I just got my results for the semester back. Two credits and a distinction, so I'm happy.

No need. It's not nearly as bad as some people are insinuating. At least, not for the GCSEs, I can't speak for the A-levels.

I had to do circa 20 pages for my Maths coursework(the Statistics bit) for my GCSEs.
