LiAM Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Background story:Tomorrow I have a Maths Test paper module 5 for GCSE, its worth about 50% of my overall marks. And I haven't done any revision until just now, from 4pm to well now... basically, its based on complex algebra, shape, formula and trigonometry etc. Really hard stuff, if i don't pass this test exam, i cannot take the higher paper in the real thing (higher=A*-D , lower = C-G ) Proposal:I have to get at least a B, I'm at B grade for my other papers, but I'm struggling. I don't think they should this much pressure on children. I vote for an all course work based school marking system, all work done in class goes towards the overall grade, so if you miss a day of school, your mark lowers, i think 2 years worth of marking is better than 1 or 2 hours worth of marking. Very similiar to BTEC's, just, less stressful. Discuss- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinitus Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Look, I could discuss the point, but this is serious. You may be able to multitask, but you could get distracted. Even if you don't, it still splits your focus. If I were you, I would get offline, study for 1-2hrs, or atleast as long as you can, and if there's time you can go back online. 30 minutes before you go to bed, have one of your parents quiz you, or quiz yourself. As for the discussion, no, I guess they shouldn't put that pressure on you, but if you study earlier, you wouldn't get this problem. So you don't only have the school system to blame. Of course that's the flaw in it, but it's an exceptable flaw because you grow to learn responsibility to prepare yourself for the real world, not to procrastinate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S - wot skool do u go to[/quote'] Where I live, that would get you at least a month suspension, and your friend would be expelled and have all of his grades reverted to F's. It'd also be hilarious when you get fired from the job you got only because of your grades. Seriously, having "Fired for incompetence" on your CV isn't a good idea.
