    Don't know where in the Bible it states:
    "And God said to man: 'Thou art destined to achieve high points in the LC if you repeat numerous times.'"

    Maybe the standard LC method isn't your pathway in life?

    Only way God will be involved in your exams is if you're doing religion on Friday.

    I'm not aware of the correlation between Faith and State exams to be honest :rolleyes:

    That might be a question in the paper two next year. Find the correlation coefficient of it.

    Douche much? You'd be feeling pretty low too if you messed up the LC the 2nd time round as well in fairness.

    Must. Refrain. From commenting...

    This guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_of_Cupertino

    Patron saint of idiots turning up with one answer and getting the question. Done me good for plenty of years (37 +) - if you're not religious get someone who is to pray to him. Works, or else you could study. Meh.

    I wouldn't blame God for it anyway. That sh*t would be emo.

    But sure in fairness it's mainly under your control.

    I don't think I've ever been really religious to begin with if anything I'd have rather spent my time on other subjects than religion which hasn't got any use for me later in life.

    I wouldn't lose your faith because of the leavin'. I believe that what's meant to be is meant to be. Maybe for some reason your not supposed to do that specific course? Or go to that specific college? I know a lot of people don't believe in that sort of approach to life, but I do. Maybe you should try something different, stop worrying about points, look at other ways of getting into the field of work you want to.

    god's a placebo, if believing it makes you feel happy about your life, go ahead and do so.... but its really.. REALLY, not gonna change sh*t for your exams...

    And by mentioning that, you've technically rendered the placebo useless.

    There is a correlation between IQ and (lack of) religious beliefs so I think it should carry over into LC points.

    Really? What, like the higher your IQ, the less likely you are to be religious?

    Sorta.
    I got loads of those exam prayer things from people that I kept in my bag.
    I kept one in my left jean pocket during all the exams except for maths paper 2 and that one went crap.
    So I've gotten more superstitious if anything.
