gollark: I mean, also, I generally am not very good at English stuff. During our mock exams, I really struggled to write some essays in the 2-hour time we had and didn't think they were very good. And they weren't really, I got a 6.
gollark: I mean, GCSE maths isn't very hard. I don't even do that much revision.
gollark: Anyway, sometimes after maths tests and stuff I hear people talking about how they got 25% or something, and I think to myself... *how*?

gollark: Yes, they were cancelled.
