Well all I can really say is sorry, you can resit your exams though can't you? What exam did you do, Geography?
General Studies but I need a good grade in it in case I don't get the desired results for my other subjects.
Pretty much all good unis dont count general studies so it doesnt matter. In my general studies exam i wrote about how fascism and the army shooting people who break curfew or any other minor law is the answer to law and order and how air hockey, table football, lots of threesomes with extremely hot girls and extreme paintballing were ways of improving fitness. Then i started giving a detailed analysis of the challenger two tank and its role in modern warfare and how i would have fought the vietnam war and won.
It was fun. And hey, as long as you justified it they have to give you the marks

I just spilled coffee into my laptop, what should I do?

It's getting sticky from the creamer... No sparks/smoke yet.

gcse? Also, easy and difficult are subjective personal opinions, like good and bad.
Nope, they did a study and geography was the easiest in general. (Alos gcses are the exams you take at 16 in the UK)
....Easy and hard are subjective, you can't do a study on it like that, It's different for every person.
FOR FUCKS SAKE
every time I make a comment on here SOMEBODY says "*whine whine* it's subjective *whine whine*".
Well you know what, fuck you, everything is fucking subjective get the fuck over it!
And yes I thought I made it clear that GENERALLY people find it easier than most subjects. Just like GENERALLY more people find it easier to urinate than to pull off the guitar solo from the trooper.

This IS a rant but it is FUCKING JUSTIFIED by the fact that the last 10 bloody replies I have had have been from people saying something is FUCKING subjective.

I'm sorry.
You do realize how this all started right? Someone said that this was a paper on geography and then someone responded "geography is easy". As if it were impossible for him to fail if he's not an idiot. Also, I highly doubt that the GCSE says it's that much easier.

I know someone who had dropped Geography at A Level but found he had been entered for the exam anyway. He went to the exam, and wrote to the examiner that he had dropped Geography, sorry for wasting his/her time- at least they will get paid 50p for marking it. He then proceeded to write a poem about Geography and why he hates it.
He got an E.
The fact he actually got some marks at all and it wasn't a U surprised me, seems he got marks for writing the poem!

I'd always wondered how you'd fare in an exam, if you got all the correct answers but insulted the examiner, his family and so forth remorselessly.

'Goneril is a deplorable, amoral and amorous character, like your mother'

That sort of thing.

I responded "assuming it's geography, you passed" suggesting it is very easy, and I believe I qualified that point by stating that the population in general find it easier than almost all other subjects.
My geography teacher said when I asked whether I should take GCSE geography that "it's basically the same stuff you've been doing in geography for the last 3 years and if you decide to come back to do A level geography you won't really need the GCSE to be able to do it because it will be the same stuff again". This has been confirmed by my friends who did it for A level. I cannot overstate how easy it is from almost anybodies point of view.
It would be impossible to fail unless maybe he wrote about manbearpig. Oh wait...

This fucking exemplifies it. Thank you my friend.

Meh, , it's not as easy in America. Also, it's boring enough where to me it's hard to even sit through it, let alone pay attention.

Not doing something like that may be the biggest struggle I ever have in my life

If it was a science class, I applaud you. It is my opinion that teaching and indoctrination of global warming hysteria is as valuable in science class as teaching genesis.

too bad that your indoctrinator still gets to write the F in your grade book. A more mature approach would have been to list some reasons WHY global warming hysteria is such bollocks, and not make the manbearpig comment.

for cereal, man.

Where and what were you studying that requires two years worth of school all to be decided on a single test?

I feel forced to ask, why? You must have known that doing this wasn't a good idea at the time, so why did you go through with it? Humour in an exam isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's got to make sense and be appropriate to the subject. In an example that I am endlessly proud of, in my French GCSE I wrote a really ranty review of Indiana Jones 4 (in French, of course), and ended up doing really well.

The point is, doing something unconventional can be a very good way to get marks, but it still has to make sense in the context. Manbearpig is not something that makes sense in the context of global warming.
I agree with most of what you said, but you have to realize that Manbearpig is an allegory to global warming. In the mind of the makers of South Park, Manbearpig is a crazy idea that doesn't really exist that Al Gore made up just to get attention, which is also how they view global warming.
