I got in the exam, was feeling okay, i realised that the questions were hard, then i got to the last 5 pages.... and we did not learn any of the questions!!!! I remember my teacher saying to me "That wont come up, thats why i didnt teach you it" and it was in the last 8 questions worth about 50 of the overall 100 marks!!!!!! It was horrible!!!!!

All the people in my set came out really pissed off.... our teacher is an idiot and so is the Maths exam board!!! It was IMPOSSIBLE!!!! Im going to cry!! I predict I got an F.... no joking around!!!

Silly teacher

bluehill · 18-05-2009, 05:54 PM

well i failed my driving test today

Noel · 18-05-2009, 05:54 PM

Aww no that's horrible!
Don't be so negative though! You never know, chances are if you found it really difficult, so did everyone else, and then the grade boundaries will be brought down. I thought I was going to get an F in my Maths last year, and did extremely well, so don't write yourself off just yet.

MarkWaldorf · 18-05-2009, 05:55 PM

Did you do coursework for the subject? Don't worry, the C/W grade should bump up your overall grade. Just don't worry about it!

beanny · 18-05-2009, 05:56 PM

Im sure, if the paper is hard, then the grade boundaries are low. I seem to remember it being like that when I did GCSE's.
Im sure you did better than you think

...and sorry to hear that.
I passed 2nd time, it means you can have more lessons to get even better.

Good luck for next time

*mazedsalv** · 18-05-2009, 08:51 PM

They dont do cwk for Maths anymore, thats the reason why i will fail, im good at cwk but crap at exams and Maths in 100% exam.

I mean it was REALLY difficult, i was almost crying!!! I really wanted to have an outburst in the exam hall...the invigialator smiled at me at the end of the exam and i gave her the dirtiest look so she looked away all serious, i think she got that i was pissed!

CiaraD · 18-05-2009, 08:57 PM

aww don't worry about it.
everyone else probably thought it was hard to and you always do better then you think.

Fom · 18-05-2009, 09:00 PM

I felt horrible after all my exams, they always feel like this. I ended up getting a B after feeling like this so don't panic too much yet.

ILoveTRW · 18-05-2009, 09:00 PM

There was a Facebook group last year telling everyone not to revise and they'll lower the grade boundaries. Must have worked, I got straight A's in my A Levels ... me!!

Salv it'll be fine anyway, colleges only look for 5 across the board anyway and if you have to do it again and might be able to move up a tier if you aren't doing higher ... or am I just showing my age here with the Intermediate paper?

SiaSiaSia · 18-05-2009, 09:27 PM

aww I would say it doesn't matter but it kinda does with Maths

you might've done better than you think - or you retake next year?

Corkie · 18-05-2009, 09:28 PM

They don't do Intermediate paper anymore. Just Higher and Foundation which is a bit of a piss take.

Omg me too!! The historgram was the first one i was like "A who?? whats a histogram??" and then ALL the ones after i didnt get.

And I took Higher and i kept saying i didnt want to. And i have English Lit tomorrow as well... Of Mice and Men and poerty....

*mazedsalv** · 18-05-2009, 09:45 PM

I was just looking around the internet and apparently out of all subjects, Maths is the hardest subject for secondary school students, apparently the government are dissapointed in the recent results in the last few years, thats why they have lowered the boundaries. When they get my % they will be very shocked at how bad I did.

So i guess everyone struggles with Maths.

Nicky. · 18-05-2009, 10:14 PM

My facebook was just brimmed with year 11's saying how hard the exam was!!
And Carrie, Tom Fletchers sister, on Twitter was asking everyone how to do loads of the q's that were on it!
