Edexcel P1 Physics Exam

Well well well, the Edexcel P1 Physics Exam 2016 was a mystical exam paper sat by GCSE students who all felt the shattering pain and emotion of twenty or so hours of revision of Hershel and Ritter's experiments along with the Electromagnetic Spectrum, only to find that the first question to come up is about a pathetic petrol generator. Just to add petrol to the fire (see what I did there) Edexcel decide to throw in a cheeky induction question which in later life, is going to be about as useful as a waterproof bathsponge.

But you may be thinking, Edexcel surely you have stopped there, surely you cannot emotionally deplete us and make us feel like a single celled organism with no brain (I revised Biology well). Oh no! Just for good measure, Edexcel decide to take a steaming dump on our result, throwing in a question about Ions. Which is again about as useful as a submarine in the sahara.

Essentially, the Physics exam is the bastard lovechild of the Maths Exam, which Edexcel decide to sweetly position immediately after the Physics exam, to essentially ruin our lives. I would like to congratulate anybody who thought that they found this exam easy.

block exams

block exams; a modern-day method of torture developed by a panel of adults who believe that they know best. block exams consist of several subjects' exams in a row (maths, english, history etc.) with a break between each one. block exams last for anywhere between 2 days and 2 weeks, and usually cause mass stress and panic in students. social life is impossible during this time, as all student's free time will be spent trying to learn a whole semester's worth of work (of which half probably wont be needed anyway). most block exams start at the age of 16, although some mean-spirited schools will start at the young age of 15.
Teacher- ok students, in 2 weeks' time are BLOCK EXAMS

bar exam

A typical right of passage, a cliche event that all would be lawyers must go through. Involves two months of unbelievably boring lectures, followed by spending the rest of the day studying in a law library or other similarly isolated and secluded environment. During this time, neuroses begin to surface such as increased nervousness, irritability, depression, despondency, etc... Behavioral defects also begin to arise such as exponentially increased drinking, smoking, nervous twitches, unwise relationship choices or sexual encounters (i.e. cheating), and possibly erratic, uncommon, or unorthodox behavior. Culminates in an extremely difficult two day exam, after which candidates must wait months to discover whether or not they actually passed.
"Man, what's gotten into that guy and that girl from the bar review course, all they do is make out in the law library while the rest of us are studying for the bar exam."
