When doing an ICT Key Skills exam at school I'd finished in 15 minutes, including the one question that had two right answers. I even discussed it with the teacher in the exam and she checked it while I was there and confirmed it was all right. The rest of those taking it were still struggling away at what you might use a spreadsheet for in the background while I was forced to wait there having finished until an hour had passed. You didn't even get a grade, you just got the key skills certificate. What a rip!

Of course why they even had me do that exam when I was already doing double award intermediate GNVQ is beyond me; I needed the work from that class to go towards the coursework portfolio for it so I would fail both or neither. The fact that the rest of the school that weren't on GNVQ only did the half GCSE and then needed to do the key skills at college was a totally other issue.

OH and then theres the exam on the fundamentals of sound and vision I had just over a week ago. I hadn't turned up to most of it because it made me suicidal and couldn't be bothered revising. The night before I did audio self tests which were 4 questions each uploaded after 6 of the 12 lectures he did. The 25 questions in the exam about audio were in the majority from these and I remembered the answers. Then with stuff I already knew about video and html the other two sections weren't that hard.

I got 71% on the thing for turning up three or less times, not paying attention while there and semi-revising the night before.
