@ samuelrsmith, why did you refuse to revise, I just did it in front of the TV, in-between sessions of GTA IV, and then FF X

Because I was cocky and lazy. More the lazy than the cocky. I'm changing for college, though... I won't be happier for anything less than straight As.

If your wondering, I'm taking Computing, Mathematics, Government and Politics, and Economics at A-level.

 

I'm doing Maths, Further Maths, Geography, History and Physics

 

Wont your GCSE results set you back when it comes to applying for university?

 Not really, I mean the GCSE results are good as they are. Taking into account that I've also got college coming up (which universities look at more), and that I have no interest in going to a red brick university, I don't think it will have any effect at all on my chances of getting into uni.

So I can get a sense of how the courses line up with American classes, what topics do you cover in Maths and Further Maths?
