Maths results.

Ok I got a C I'm seriously happy because i was predicted an F XD

I was talking to a teacher the other day and he said that he doesn't like how the current system now (where all the exams are split up into different months) because it gives the students the thought of "if i fail an exam, I can always retake" which I do understand, which is why I think the government are reverting back to the old system where it's all at the end of year 11? Which frankly I would panic about if I was in that situation, so many exams.

It just becomes so diluted and worthless having them spread out, especially with GCSEs which are for most subjects is a matter of memorising some stuff and then repeating it. Also having taken the IGCSE there are a lot of exams but it's hardly an end of the world type event.

compared to A levels, GCSE's are really easy.
but i remembered last year panicking about everything and anything with GCSE's.
i think i got an A in the first maths modual, a c in the second (which I retook and got another A in) and then the last one i got a c o it over alled a a B.
seriously, if I can get a B anyone can! it took me a good month to understand sequencing (like n=p+5) and it turned out to be the easiest thing ever.

I thought only foundation maths had the exams split in to modules?

they're all in modules but some exams are modular (an exam on each module) and some linear (one big exam at the end on every module - 4 hours)

Finally got my results today - 2marks off a B

Ah unlucky.

Are you gonna get it remarked?

Unfortunately with exams like maths its unusual that you get extra marks though as your answers are either right or wrong, as opposed to subjects like english where someone may think something is not worth a mark whereas another examiner may think it is.

Worth a try surely though

Mm I think I will get a remark. I suppose that I could try and pick up a mark on worded answers. Either way, I'm definitely going to resit it, so if the remark doesn't work, I should get a better mark on the resit!

[Recursion]

I seriously don't get why schools are doing the whole constant resits strategy, massive waste of time and money.

Congratulations to everyone regardless

Resits saved my ass at the end of my A Levels, the only issue I see with it is what @Jordan; said about the "If I fail I can resit" mentality.

I also see the modular system as better than one big exam at the end, it allows students to hone their skills during revision and allows for better examination on key topics in subjects and so gives some students the chance to do well if they're good at one topic (such as Algebra) and bad at another (such as Trigonometry).

Ohh tbh I wish I'd done foundation at first but not a single person has got a C in the foundation modules so far at my school even though they only have 1 module left? So it put me off anyway
