The Exams Thread

Although we watched a more up to date video recently about drunk teenagers

I remember in PSHE in year 10 they thought we'd all be really excited that they were showing us a documentary about binge drinking that starred the little brother of Lisa Scott-Lee from Steps. By 2003, Steps really weren't what we were interested in.

I had to do RE up to year 9 and a little bit in year 11, but they didn't make us take it for GCSE thankfully. In year 11 the teacher was a nutter from New Mexico who made us study belief in aliens.

Does any one write you notes? "Hi Mr Examiner, how are you today"? etc.

strangely enough no, although I normally get harrassed by students wanting to know their grade a day or two after taking an exam. We tend to get most multi choice's graded and through quality in around 7-10 working days at the most, essay's tend to take longer and a subject specialist has to grade them.

I'm in the process of marking some multi choice exams :D, I dont mind the marking side, its the answering the questions I hate the most :P

Do you not have them computer marked? I have annoying multiple choice exams with those forms where you colour in the box in pencil and a computer reads it. And we pay £3000 a year for this *mutters to self about general unfairness of tuition fees*

Today, I have not done much revision at all. Never mind.

Does anyone have any notes from P.E Short course that they could email to me or something? only the theory side of it is what i need.

I'm absoloutely cacking it for friday.

I'm afraid matey, that's what happens when you don't attend all lessons. I was stumped with GCSE Science as it arsed me off and I didn't go. Have you asked your exams officer about getting some special consideration for being off?

One of my friends has an exam tomorrow and he doesn't even know what the module's called. He went to one lecture and decided it was boring and hasn't been to a lecture since. Now that's being laid back about exams...

My Media studies exam has been moved forward now, My prep isn't anywhere near done yet. I have all my ideas, it's just putting them down onto paper that's hard, especially because on taks involved a lot of drawing, which I'm not so great at.

Spanish listening tomorrow, I'm not too scared about that one to be honest, should be okay.

I missed my science lesson today, we got our mock results that decided whether we go in for higher/foundation. I'm pretty sure I've failed that one!

pffft, dont be silly, these things cost money :rolleyes:

I have the pleasure of having to cut square's out of a marking grid which may have the maximum of 132 question responses to cut out before I can mark the exam....

Cant say I am that bothered either way as it's probably more accurate and reliable than relying on a computer to mark it as seen in the recent election campaigns.

I'm dreading the media exam. Not to mention the english literature exam the same morning

    • It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).
    • On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!
    • I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones. 
    • The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf
    • Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
    • I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently! 
    • That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.
    • Moyles spent most of the 52hr sgow calling him that lol
    • I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ? Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter  
    • I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?
    • Maia Beth is doing Friday Early Breakfast on 7th & 14th June.
    • Joel Mitchell is in for Nat on Sunday 9th June.
    • Ore Olukoga is on 13.00-16.00 on Friday 31st May and Friday 7th June.  Nikita Kanda is doing Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June.
    • Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
