And the exams are over until June!
I just got out of the dreaded 2515 exam. It's one of those exams where you get a sheet full of nebulous questions like 'Modern mobile phones have video capabilities. Discuss. [12 marks]'. I mean, how are we meant to spend 12 marks (that's about 600 words) on that? Apart from anything else, we're given so little information. 'Discuss video phones.' Yeah, great. They always leave the really ambiguous questions until last. You're in the last fifteen minutes of the exam, you think you've got everything pretty much sorted, and ... WHAM! Jesus Christ, what the hell is that?! Another Question From Hell come to eat me. *grr* I believe I've ranted about the evil OCR exam board in here before. They're one of the most rant-worthy institutions in Great Britain (and we've got the Labour Government in charge, so that's quite something :) ).
Anyway, most of the exam was reasonable. Well, comparatively reasonable. Again, nothing I actually revised came up in the exam, but I guess I should learn to expect that from OCR. Actually, it's probably the evil gods of Luck and Chance again. They're always against me. Guess I'll go eat worms.
:)
Seriously, the luck you both sent me helped. Instead of going into the exam thinking I was in trouble, I went in there thinking that maybe I could beat it. And you know what? Despite the evil 12-mark question at the end, I think I did. Yay!
