[QUOTE=Flower Dance]Oh right.

I hope I'll pass pretty quickly... I don't want to be one of those people who take the test 20 times.[/QUOTE]
Yeah me too, im a realy good driver, when i concentrate properly, so my instructor says. Apparently i do it all too quickly and need to slow down.

[QUOTE]did you have lessons from scratch, my dad says hes gunna teach me to drive and get the instructor to pass me[/QUOTE]From scratch, ive drove two cars ever.

my friend failed their theory 20 times :eek: That's like £210, and took three times to past their actually test another £150. The next day they crashed their car :-\

before you say "my friend" doesn't mean me
/past on both 1st time, full marks on questions 72 on hazard perception, on actual test 3 minors, never crashed.

Jesus,did they not read the theory book at all or something?

God knows, i could maybe see someone failing the theory once, poss twice, but honestly 90% of it is common sense.

That was the same for me when i passed, one was a corsa, and one a focus, and you'll slow down alot for your test, i was always been told i did things too quickly.

How many marks can you drop, its only like 10 or less isnt it?

I think im geting all the CD's for my lessons of fmy instructor next lesson, he gives them us for free.

Yeah, but its not like he's making myself go slowly, its just to "give myself chance"

He just gets fustrated because i know i can do it, and he knows i can do it, i just always go over the speed limit, a bit to fast around corners, nothing dangours, but he wants me to slow it down a bit.

I do get shouted a lot for driving with one hand, on the bottem of the stearing wheel though.

Yeah, i wasn't saying don't practise you'll be fine, just saying that you drive/or i did anyway alot better on my actual test because i concentrated alot more.

and 15 minors you get for the test

FOD

lol

But HMV's really good so far. Everyone's cool, I'm getting the hang of the work. I'm reet until someone comes and asks me something >.>

How about the theory?

And ive been saying for about 3/4 weeks now. I think if it was just driving around, i would pass the test, i just need to polise up my manouvers. I dont practice them enough though i feel, but i love just driving.

I think lower 6th in my college go back today.

The A-level also start today, i have my first proper exam today :(

Its only general studies. Its kinda hit and miss, if a subject comes up you know about then youre set, but totaly screwed if something you dont know comes up.

Good luck man

[QUOTE=jesusfinger]Good luck man[/QUOTE]
Cheers, hopefully it will be on something i know about, :thumb:

General Studies is a piece of piss

In my exam there was the question: "Susan says goodbye to her family before she sets off to work at 8:00 am. She arrives at work at 8:30am. At 9:00am her husband and son are killed in a car accident. Susan is told about this at 9:30am. Susan said 'I think I already knew somehow.'

"How could Susan be proved right/wrong? Explain your answer."

That's how much of a joke that exam is. I got a B, and never went to a General Studies session

Yeah, the questions are ridiculas.

Last year we got that riddel thing, the fox hen and straw have to taken over a river, the fox can be left with the hen, the straw cant be left with the hey, or something. I cant remember how but i got it right. A lot of people i know just said but the straw and hen in the boat and make the fox swim

:lol: idiots

hey thread

i officially have no more exams for a long time, and probably don't have to go back to that school ever again :cool:

yesterday at a concert my scool was doing, me and another guitarist did at duet thingy and then we got a cup full of chocolates each 'cus we're leaving :cool: the teachers got wine though, and they're not even leaving :mad:

work starts this saturday :cool:

my mum gave me £10 for helping her using Mircosoft office for posters and stuff for work (cool smiley)
looks like things are looking up for me financially

well thats my news, hows everyone else?

[I]You have included 5 images in your message. You are limited to using 4 images so please go back and correct the problem and then continue again. [/I] lol

I didn't get no chocolate when I played at my school.

I swear people don't recognise me, as I leave the stage I go through a transformation and turn into someone totally different.

Blahblahblah.

They're obviously so in awe of your talents, that they forget to look at your face :p

[quote=Untitled]How about the theory?
[/quote]
I think you need 30/35 and 55/80 for the theory.

/late

Only 3 more days left of exams. History tomorrow, french reading/writing and physics on friday. Then a week on friday I have my second graphics exam. I can't believe it's almost over :-/

What're your plans for after?

6th form. Then probably uni... I have absolutely no dea what career I want to pursue though.

I'm back to school on monday.

Starting A2.

What classes are you doing?

I didn't really enjoy A2. A1 owned because I was doing maths with my mates, but I had to drop that towards the end of the year

A2 was just ... yeah, I wasn't in any classes with my friends, I didn't really like anyone in my classes so it was a case of turn up, quietly do the work, go home. But that was pretty much the case with college in general. I've come out the other side with exactly the same friends as I went in with.

That's just the way things worked out for me though :) I'm really really looking forward to Uni

Where you going?

Leeds \m/ :cool:

It's not far from home but it's far enough, I know leeds pretty well, the course is great, I'm living with my best mate, I've a job now that I'll be a-keepin' for the next few years ...

Life's looking pretty rosey for the next chunk :)

Where abouts in England do you reside? I would be interested but don't have the money for another month or so. Are you in a rush at all?

EDIT: Also how is the action, neck thickness etc.?

EDIT 2 : Also I've added you to AIM so we can have a better chat if thats ok.
