    Just started my OL Maths test this morning and it was the most mind blown exam I've ever sat.

    A google group maybe? Generally are pretty handy. We use one for debating and it's fair handy.

    A google group may work. I don't know whether boards have groups... would you like to do the honours and set up a group? :D

    Yup :P Don't do it if you don't want to, it's not going to affect you greatly! Plus depending on where you are it's a lot of travelling for something you're not really going to use. Congrats :) we got ours back in envelopes. What score do you need to get in?

    I did it last year, stuck with it the whole way through to the big test, but it clashes with Applied Maths this year, and even if it didn't, I just wouldn't have the time. Argentina this year though! :eek:

    I think it's whoever gets the highest in the school gets to go so there were 2 of us that got 6/10 and a few that got 5/10.
    I'll probably end up going to th efirst one and then not bothering to go back again because the closest one to me is Maynooth and that's still more than half an hour away so there's no way am I getting up half 8 on a Saturday morning to go to it....

    I'm not looking forward to Christmas tests. Starting in a week and a half and haven't started with study yet. Also, I'm going to fail Applied Maths, 'twill be fairly epic! :P

    I've lost the ability to perform the most basic of arithmatic. I used the calculator to check that 9+64=73 in Maths today. :D

    It's so weird some people still haven't started their Christmas exams, ours finished last Friday! The wait for the last few results is the worst part IMO :P

    We're getting continuous assessment so we've been having Christmas tests since September! Then just a few class tests next week and we get an average! Good way of keeping us working the whole time. :)

    Levels is a good tune, but it's gotten a bit old by now. I mean, don't get me wrong, I spin it constantly (yes, I DJ) but it's getting kinda old by now.

    Avicii is an interesting producer though. Here's some form of preview of his upcoming single, which is almost as good.

    IMO this is a way better version:

    I prefer it to levels, tbh its a pretty insane song, can't stop listening to it atm.

    ^I think that's a different song, but it sounds really similar. Downloaded that one anyway.
    Love the Justice sample he does there too. The original D.A.N.C.E is better though.

    I'm going to a Justice gig in Cork next June, anyone else in? :L

    I think I heard someone say something about reading them and trying to commit them to memory. They were probably lying though.

    ^Unfortunately, that's the way. Irregular verbs are pure awful and the only way to get past them is just constant work.

    Regular verbs are pretty easy though, the rules and formations make perfect sense

    Exams ended last Friday, got 5/8 results back. Still waiting on Maths, Irish and French (they all went pretty well though...). A1s in Biology, History and Applied Maths, A2 in English and B1 in Music (no one got an A though so I'm not so upset...).

    Got my Japanese exam on Saturday though and I'm off school but sick so I'm not doing too much study...
