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

    • Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.
    • Nat in for Dean with Vicky as well that day.
    • So the end of weekend afternoons this week - new show is July 1st.
    • Arielle is in for Greg on Monday 27th May.
    • He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard! 
    • The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.  
    • I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly. 
    • Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...
    • Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
    • Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?
    • I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.
    • Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.
    • I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.
    • With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot. 
    • Conor Knight is in for Sam & Danni on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. It's Radio 1 at Parklife, 13.00-16.00 on Saturday 8th & Sunday 9th June. Matt & Mollie are in for Greg from Monday 10th to Friday 14th June - it's just Matt on the Thursday. It's Radio 1 at Download, 13.00-16.00 on Friday 14th June.
