h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I used to know their passwords but they got changed

I know one of my best friends' hotmail passwords. Shame I'm the only one who sends him anything


It's a tidy day in the People's Republic of People. I know because I'm the one who had to tidy up all of my old school books from the floor

I still haven't thrown away all my GCSE books

Mine are getting boxed up in case I need to look anything up.

GCSE books are quite good for that. What are they going to do when GCSE is scrapped?

Change the covers?

I think they may be moving to IB. The GCSE books won't be needed at all .

The twins (youngest brother and sister) will never have to do GCSEs

the lucky things...

I suppose so. But I like the English system- I wouldn't want to do the IB. It seems much more career orientated, and I don't like the move towards trying to get people to choose a career as early as possible so they can start to work towards it. I want to take my time and choose.

I didn't get much in the way of choice in GCSE's myself.. Only got to choose which technology, which language, and 2 subjects...

A-levels is a different matter however

I got to choose whether to do Ancient Greek, Latin, History, German, Technology, Art and Music, or Geography. I did the first three.

I chose French as my language, systems tech as my technology and geography and history as my 2 subjects.

A-level I chose geography, history and biology, bit of a mix, but turned out fine

French is nice. I've been doing it for ten years, so I can practically do it in my sleep .

I wasn't all that good at French. Got a B, and had to work for it

B is not bad. It's just not an A, which everyone seems to think is the minimum you should get.

I'm probably going to get an A for french which is great because it's not really an important subject for me in terms of what I'm doing next year. In fact, if I'm lucky I could be looking at A* because I got an A in the mocks and I messed up my oral whereas this time I did pretty well for my oral.

a B in french and R.E. were my lowest grades however

I was going to say "lucky" because I was sure I was going to get a C but then I remembered that was Latin and I may have a chance of a B for that. I found h2g2 when I revising for my latin in fact.

BTW, what is RE GCSE like?

I got one B, the rest were A's and A*'s

What a bunch of geniuses you are
I haven't even DONE my gcses yet. We were only allowed to choose three of 'em, and I'm doing Latin, Greek and history. I think I'll do worst in Physics, or English, but only coz my eng teacher is completely [email protected] was your B for, Roadkill?

Latin AND Greek!
