@@zacebbfloI’m currently in my final year of my acoustical physics masters (physics of music and sound pretty much) and I can confidently say out of all of my classes I’ve done throughout the years, music GCSE and A-level were probably some of the hardest courses I’ve ever taken. It actually takes a ridiculous amount of practice to get every single painful mark in these courses. To put it into perspective I breezed through my maths, further maths and physics A-level (got A* in all) but I still think the grade B I got in A level music is probably my most impressive feat in my academic career 😂😂😂 Don’t underestimate how hard music is, it takes a ridiculous amount of talent and effort for most students to even get a grade 4 😂
Honestly, as long as you know quotes, you can make shit up and get a decent grade for it. (So long as it sounds right and is backed up with quotes, you get marks.)
honestly thats a really good question to get lmao you just have to focus the response on how his masculinity or non masculinity is presented throughout
@@xela953yea kind of, its just not putting in LM cos they are basically the duo which is annoying if it’s about masculinity as LM is so much easier. Just write about him having nobility and masculinity at the start and not at end.
When I did my Eng exam I got rid of the lable on bottle but not the phone in my pocket. When we were half an hour in I realized, I stopped writing and started sweating so much. Nope I didn't give it in since I would've been accused of cheating. Thank God no one called me or anything
I only get this now and get thrown the PTSD of kids coming to me crying about an octagon question. I never read more into it but after seeing this and finally looking the question up holy fucking shit. They expect 16 year olds to see that?
In my second year of uni, but I can barely relate to this. Did mock GCSEs but couldn’t sit the actual exams because of Covid. Was given predicted grades and did alright 😂.
im in my first year of uni myself, my year group got predicted grades as well and holy shit they were complete nonsense. i got 8s in nearly everything yet struggled immensely at a level due to having 0 study skills
I'm in my first year of uni and we got predicted grades for our GCSEs as well bit we got little to no exam practise so we were fucked at A-levels. At least I did well in my GCSEs and two A- levels (failed physics).
@@luckerowl8990same year as you, somehow managed to coast through both GCSE and A-Level with pretty good grades. It's kinda hitting now but I'm still coasting. I'm going to suffer next year for sure
That octagon and macbeth question sound harder than that mf "write a story about this room" question from my English exam last year haha, if you know if then you know it.
This is hilarious- i just did my second set of mocks before my final GCSE's and i had some of the papers from this set of Papers and everything on here for the subjects i did is ENTIRELY ACCURATE
I graduated university 2 years ago and still watch these videos, not only they're nostalgic, but no matter the year it seems it's always the same bullshit 😂
its been a long stretch but im glad its over lol congrats and my friend made one like this and ive got to say these sorts of things are hilarious well done.
Tell me why in the entirety of our novel for english lit, there were only 3 pages of school scenes, but then the question was on how school life was presented?
