School/Uni Help Thread

I applied for this postgrad back in 2008 and was accepted with a 2:2 undergraduate in Politics and Scottish History. Unfortunately didn't do the course for family/personal reasons, one of the biggest regrets of my life. If you get the chance to do the course go for it, great employment record after completion and a great tutor and lecturer in Ewan Crawford.

 

Christ. How do you afford it? Savings? Scholarship?

 

Well applying for a 3700 pound scholarship and a career development loan from barclays or coop.

 

Fair play. Good luck to you mate.

 

£3400, paid for by a loan from SAAS.

 

So the results for exams came today! Not sure how many people on this forum are my age but for those who are, how did you get on?

 

My bhoy done well. Passed two highers and three int two's.

Will now do three more highers next year.

I'm well chuffed for him.

 

Well I ain't into uni, needed 2 or 3 B's and got 2 C's in higher English and modern studies.

 

Did 3 highers and one advanced higher and passed them all. How do you find out your exadt marks and percentages?

 

Jeezo man, well done

Not sure to be honest. Since I'm just going in to sixth year I might get the percentages back from my teachers but if you're finished with school I don't have a clue. Could maybe just go in one day and ask.

 

Got 3 Higher Cs and a D. Not sure if a D is a pass or not.

 

Thanks, ive finished school now i think i'll just go back up and ask my teachers. How did you get on?

 

Might as well, always interesting to see exactly how you did. Took 5 highers and passed them all, delighted.

 

Congratulations to everyone. I hope you all got the grades you wanted/needed.

Congratulations on the 3 highers, buddy!

D isn't a pass. Think of it as a graded fail.

I got a D for Higher Chemistry, and I leave it out of my CV.

 

Not the end of the world mate. I originally had planned to do History and Politics, but I didn't make the conditions for any of the offers due to an awful showing in 6th year.. Now I'm going into Second year Accounting, a course I never even considered doing, and I'm enjoying it.

You'll get there.

 

Sat my only resit today, Economics. I * hate Economics. So glad that's over with, now I get to enjoy my summer!

 

Yeah I realise that it's a fail now. It was Maths so I've taken it again for 6th year. Hopefully get a good pass next year and get into a Sports Journalism course.

 

Results in the morning. Struggling to give a * at the minute, probably will tomorrow but.

 

I'm doing Accountancy mate. I only had the one economics module.

The subject as a whole is actually quite interesting, but this module was about micro-economics, and was taught by the most boring * going.

Was the only exam I failed too.
