Did anyone sit the Standard Grade Maths exam on the 8th May?
Katie. "I think I take more chances on stage then I do in real life but you can't learn anything if you don't challenge yourself. And don't say "terminally". If you love to perform then you have no choice, just keep training and focus on the words or the music whenever you find yourself slipping back inside yourself. You're not doing anyone any favors if you withhold your talents from the world"
I was just about to ask you about it Katie. How'd it go?
Get your gradients sorted?

It was reaaaaaaaally hard, there was so many things in it I've just never seen before. The head of maths is phoning SQA to complain because there was Higher questions we've never seen in it.
I think I've probably failed both credits but I got four 1's for the prelims so I'm a perfect candidate for an appeal apparently.
Maths was awful, everyone in my year (and there's some right bright sparks in it) said they think they've failed. Oh well.
I had geography today which out of my eight subjects is my worst and out of the six exams I have sat so far has been the easiest!
But maths, oh my god, I brought both papers home and I still keep staring in disbelief at them! :|

Don't the SQA weight the results on averages though? So if everyone in your school found it hard, chances are other schools will have too and the pass mark will be lowered.
Best of luck with the remaining two.

Yeah that's what is being said Lottie. Same with English, apparently our paper was the hardest since 1993. According to the head of english anyway, so they think the pass mark will also be lowered for that.
Even so, I think I'm doing okay so far!
French on Tuesday Biology on the 27th
Looking forward to biology, that's a fun one

Biology and Maths were always my favourites. You'll do great.
And you get a dictionary for French don't you?! What could go wrong?!

Italian exams were hard this year and they always make french harder because you've studied it longer, this year was not the year to be taking SG's

Listening is the bad one. I hated French. Languages are so not my thing.

My friend speaks five languages (inc. english) and she's the same age as me, self taught mostly except for English, Italian and French which she studies at school. Her language skills have sort of rubbed off on me I think lol.
I'm actually quite good at french, just not the accent.

I could never get into them. English suits me just fine. But even that I hated studying at school.

I meant the thing about you not being able to spell or something to go in here
