Depends what subjects you chose. I managed a C in AS Level English without reading the books or doing any revision. Thats the great thing about English- there's a simple formula to guarantee you the pass. In terms of Maths, Science ...they are considerably harder.

My english lit. teacher at GCSE said that A level english was really hard. Maybe that was just an excuse though since they didn't teach it at my school...

I think the sciency subjects are great for getting top grades in. Assuming you can understand the material, it's just a case of learning it and then doing past papers to figure out exam technique and the particular phrases they score.

Rolen, isn't a 425/600 a B? And you didn't think you'd get in with a B...or have you mistyped? Anyway, good luck with Oxford. Dunno how you can be so motivated - my friend is there and she works like ALL the time.

I got As in English Literature, English Language and Politics. I got a B in Philosophy, missed the A by like 5 marks because I was a lazy [censored].

I got like 587/600 for English Language. That was an easy subject - I resat one module after failing it, and the syllabus had changed without anyone telling me and I only dropped 8 marks.

Anyone who's worried, A levels are easy if you've any marginal intelligence and you choose essay based subjects.

not sure really, i'll keep playing and trying to move up to around 2/4 but before then i can't confirm anything really. I'll go to uni but you have to these days to get a decent job.

Are you a pro or what?

lol no I just play in my spare time. I go to Warwick uni. I play $55-215 SNGs and tournaments, played pretty much full time over summer until I had to revise for resits. BTW when you come to consider it, warwick has by far the best poker soc [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] some really really good players go there.
