So I didn't blog yesterday because I was busy revising the shit out of Sociology for the exam I had today.
Overall it went pretty well, there was only one question which threw me off guard that I found really hard. But literally everyone that came out of the hall after the exam ended said they also found it really difficult and stupid, so most people ended up skipping it or writing very little. I wrote like 1 sentence and then pretty much that was all I wrote. It was 18 marks for the question but hopefully that won't drastically lower my grade. I know it will lower it but I don't want to get like a grade U or something because I did so shit.
But I did pretty well on the others, I'd say, as they were easy. The 2 others were a 9 marker and 33 marker. For the 33 marker you get a choice of 2 questions and pick which you want to answer, and one of them was a really EASY one so I did that. Pretty sure I got a high mark for that question. The 9 marker was pretty simple except my mind kind of went blank and I think one of the points I made in my answer could be wrong. After the exam my friend told me what he put and I was just like "Duh! Why didn't I think of that!? So obvious!" Hate those kind of moments.
But I had a nice encouraging thought last night as I was looking at the UCAS tarriff points online (not sure how this works in other countries) but basically you need either certain grades or a certain amount of tariff points for a course you want to study at University. The University I got accepted into gave me a conditional offer, meaning I am able to attend that University and study the course I want as long as I meet the requirements with my exams (200-240 UCAS tariff points). So yeah, when I looked online I apparently didn't actually need to do that well in this exam I had today as my previous grades from what I did at AS Level were already quite high, so that boosted my tariff points already before I even began A2 this year. For Americans, AS & A2 are the two stages in which you study at college - college meaning the place we go to before university (because I know in America you usually call University "college" but here it the UK they are separate stages in education).
Anyway! Enough boring information. Will end this post here! I'm going to have a nice relaxing night after working hard for that exam (lol not, how many times has it been that I've said in a blogpost I keep procrastinating because revision was too boring?). Only one exam left which is on the 20th June! Then it is finally S U M M E R.
Until tomorrow :)
