There's a philosophical motto that I go by to help motivate myself to keep going: "Short term pain equals long term gain".

I hope you (and indeed everyone else taking exams at the minute) get the results you want. Out of curiosity Dan, or just tell me to mind my own business if you want, what are you thinking about studying at A-level?

ICT, Media Studies, Business Studies and English - primarily because they're the ones I'm predicted A*s in at GCSE and (most of the time) I enjoy them.

The ICT, Media and Business go quite well as a triplet, and Media/English go well together too.

Some teachers have been really supportive of my choices given that they all link together and complement each other... Others less so supportive on the grounds that they believe I should be doing all three sciences and maths. Not my cup of tea.
