b= 89-80%
C= 79-70 %
D= 69-60 %

Tell me about it, I was up half the night reading about that crap too. I would have revised when I got home from work but my bloody fence blew down in the high winds and so I was re-concreting in a post.

Record Bitesize on BBC 2. These programmes are excellent and if it wasn't for them, I would be flipping burgers right now!!!!
Finti- You mean exam system in Britian, not England!

So I'm assuming that this test your talking about is a test where the results are submitted to the college of your choice and then they decide based on your scores and high school grades to accept or regect you?
So they are like the SAT's here in the US.
If I were you, I would go out an buy one of those 400 page practice books. I'm sure they have some. That should help.
Are you a good student?
Cause if you are, odds are that you will pass the test very easily, cause they really aren't testing you on anything new.
But if your dumb and stuff, I would go out and get a study guide!

Really, what you would consider college entry exams we call A-Levels, Tex. BG is doing GCSE's, so if she needs' grades that would be for a further education college (where she will be aged 17 and 18).

Oh I remember GCSE's. They were a piece of p**s! Don't worry about them. You'll breeze them. And then in 3 years time you will wonder what the hell you were even worried about.
I have an exam in a week and a half. Dreading it. I also have exams in June. They are my first year medical exams and I'm really scared! Lots and lots of work to be done me thinks!
