Was starting to panic about my 3,000 word sources essay due in tomorrow, only to get an email today saying that the due date is wrong and it's actually due on the 19th of April. Sometimes you just get a complete result. :wub:

I'm in a similar situation. Revising for exams that will decide whether or not I can get into university. Nerve wracking stuff but I feel alive so that's good.

Your education system sounds strange.

I reckon if I wanted to I could get into Harvard, it doesn't look that challenging. I wish I had more networks though.

Yeah, the problem is your networking. That's it.

I think Karl is still going through things, but with what happened at the weekend other things have had to take priority.

I'm sure everyone will be added in eventually

Got three second year university exams coming up in June, the ones I should have sit last year, but couldn't as I had to leave due to illness. They're actually the only proper exams for that year, but they're worth 70% each of the three most heavily weighted modules.

It's odd though, theres a lot of work to do before I'll be ready for them, but because I've seen most of the material before, I've got lots of time, and no other distractions like coursework to do, I don't feel stressed at all. Makes a nice change.

Yes that's a good point.

Sorry about the lack of addition of the final page to the OP, and the similar lack of statistics etc. - between the hacking, the general technical duties I've been catching up on, and some IRL stuff cropping up I haven't had time to go through that last bit of the listing. To be honest I'm still swamped right now but I promise I'll get it done in the very near future. Thanks for bearing with me. :wub:

Crikey. What was that about big claims and extraordinary evidence?

How does Student Finance work for second year?

If you apply for means-tested support, you have to go onto the website again, log in, and use the Apply for 2012/13 link (the one above the View your application for 2011/12 link). You'll have to submit all your details again, as will your supporter (your mum or whatever I guess), though to be fair I found the process less painful than last time.

If you aren't means-tested, they should have sent you a form on which you just fill in some brief details, sign, and post back.

Logical reasoning tests can strawberry float right off :lol:

So can those two questions which had double negatives in the verbal reasoning section in the test the Met Office wants me to do

edit: strawberry floating logical reasoning tests, strawberry floating endless triangles, circles squares, filled, not filled, moving.round.a.strawberry floating.box. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
