00:00 - 00:05 | I just got my grade back for the biology mock exam |
00:05 - 00:07 | all the teachers said were saying how important it was |
00:07 - 00:10 | because the results were being used for college applications |
00:11 - 00:16 | they gave us plenty of time to revise, we had the whole summer |
00:17 - 00:21 | guess how much revision I did |
00:21 - 00:24 | maybe 5 minutes the night before |
00:29 - 00:31 | not even that |
00:31 - 00:34 | I asked for some revision time before the start of the exam |
00:38 - 00:40 | sir said no |
00:41 - 00:47 | I did so badly, I didn't even get a grade |
00:47 - 00:50 | I didn't even get the first question correct |
00:50 - 00:56 | I never even heard of a prokaryotic cell |
00:58 - 00:59 | I thought it was something to do with batteries |
00:59 - 01:01 | I just drew the lines anywhere |
01:04 - 01:06 | Then there was a question about magnification |
01:06 - 01:08 | Why are there maths questions? |
01:13 - 01:14 | It was supposed to be a biology test |
01:14 - 01:16 | Was I supposed to bring a calculator? |
01:16 - 01:20 | I wrote down the first answer that came to my head |
01:21 - 01:27 | guess what, I managed to get 1 mark for that question |
01:35 - 01:36 | I was so happy |
01:36 - 01:39 | I spent 5 minutes revising and I got a mark for guessing |
01:41 - 01:44 | The next question was much harder |
01:44 - 01:47 | It was a serious 6 mark question |
01:47 - 01:49 | All about heart disease |
01:50 - 01:53 | And how being unhealthy can make you have a heart attack |
01:54 - 01:56 | or something like that |
01:56 - 01:58 | I wrote down everything I knew about it |
01:58 - 02:02 | literally everything, I think I filled the whole page |
02:05 - 02:07 | guess what I got out of 6 |
02:10 - 02:11 | I got... |
02:11 - 02:13 | I got zero |
02:15 - 02:17 | not a single mark |
02:17 - 02:20 | nothing I wrote about was on the mark scheme |
02:21 - 02:28 | I was talking about the importance of exercise and different types of exercise you can do |
02:29 - 02:30 | Like running? |
02:30 - 02:32 | Yes running and cycling |
02:36 - 02:39 | I was supposed to write about the link between unhealthy diet, |
02:40 - 02:42 | which can cause diabetes and that leads to heart attacks |
02:50 - 02:55 | too complicated for me |
02:56 - 02:58 | What else was on the paper? |
02:58 - 03:04 | I don't remember that much, I missed out loads of questions |
03:04 - 03:09 | but there was a question where you had to draw a graph |
03:09 - 03:11 | I completely messed that one up |
03:16 - 03:20 | I got the scale completely wrong |
03:23 - 03:26 | And for my line of best fit I drew a curve |
03:31 - 03:36 | I'm going to have to revise more for physics |
