GCSE's

[Mr B]

A friend of a friend has recently done the GCSE Higher Tier I.T. exam. This was the first question:

1) Which of these can you not do on the internet?

a) Home shopping
b) Chat lines
c) Book a holiday
d) Cook food

 

[Ono]

Actually, I have cooked food on the Net before so there

 

[old.Rostam]

So what's the answer then.

 

[SAS]

I bet you a tenner there is a website out there where you can control a robot who will crack an egg open onto a frying pan and cook it using your keyboard + a webcam

 

[old.deathmask]

are you sure thats higher tier? i dont remember that one

 

[Mr_Horus]

Heh. Just goes to show that GCSEs are pish easy.

 

[old.GLyNN3RS]

/me awaits someone to say 'i got A*'s in every subject nerr nerr'.

 

[Perplex]

the sooner you lot realise that gcse's mean fuck all out there in the big bad world the better. All they allow you to do is progress onto a-levs, and any fuckwit can be accepted into a-levs, regardless if they say they have entry requirements or not

 

[shabazz]

Yup thats true.

My 6th form had a-level peeps who did 3 (!!!) gcse's and at which they got nothing higher than a c (most probably less).

Doing my degree now, i get the impression that this qual wont really mean anything once i get into a work environment.

Still, the certificates look nice.........

 

[old.Davehart]

and this is the higher tier you say?

 

[Mr_Horus]

Having got all 1's in the Scottish S Grades, im quite sure i could get all A*'s in GCSEs.

Unlike your face.......

GCSE's are the biggest waste of time ever. I did pretty average in my GCSE's and I got a great job that I actually enjoy doing. The guy above me is the assistant manager and he didn't get any and he earns shit loads. It's work experience that counts in the real world.

GCSEs

I finished mine (Thursday) woooohoooooo!!! The IT GCSE exam I did was different, still higher tier though. The paper was meant to last 2 hrs 30 mins ffs, was finished after about an hour so they let us go.

Like i said earlier, goes to show that GCSEs are pish easy.

 

[old.V-f-u-b-a-r]

I wish A-levels were that easy... well my Computing one is (so far) but the other 3 aren't
