Capital Summertime Ball 2024

[Lucinda]

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.

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

[Jono]

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.

[Grace]

No, Jono. Only you.

Although I might write a note to the examiner on my stats paper explaining we haven't actually been taught the course. And maybe tape a tenner to it.

a tenner?, my job is worth more than a tenner .

I don't like examiners, I always get the harsh ones.

[Jono]

It happens a lot with some examiners I was told. They get suicide notes occasionally too.

[Ema]

Ive revised everything in RS, know *most* of it, went to optional rs and knew most of it. I did 3 hours revision this morning too.

Good luck for tommorow guys!x

[Mike]

I really need some help before i fail another GCSE

I'm absoloutely cacking it for friday.

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.

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?

[Mike]

what will they do apart from moan at me for not being in school? besides, surely it must be a bit late to ask.

Plus, check your pm's

[Jono]

I don't know - if you've got a good reason they might give you special consideration. Or just ask your teacher at least to see if they've got any notes you can have.

[Lucinda]

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...

[Eyl9]

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

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.

[Behelzebub]

My 3 consecutive days' worth of exams are finally over......... thank GOD. Now I only have 2 left. Yay.

[Eyl9]

What 2 have you got left?

[Behelzebub]

French Language and Portuguese... those two shouldn't be too bad, I'm a bit more confident about those.

[Bumble_85]

I am so incredibly fed up with revision.

[Riz]

Only PE, Geography and Computing left for me, huzzah.

I have 10 days off now, thought id take a wee day off. Im just bored stiff, i know nothing else but revision right now it seems

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