gollark: I got a 6 in the møcks, which would be passing in the real exams.
gollark: I hope I don't have to do English exams though. I hate English Literature/Language the subjects and especially the exams. I got higher Latin and Ancient Greek grades than English in the mock exams.
gollark: Ah, so they're maybe postponed then and the government is being ambiguous.
gollark: 🦀 I DON'T HAVE TO DO STUPID ENGLISH LANGUAGE/LITERATURE PAPERS
gollark: 🦀 EXAMS ARE ALSO GONE (or possibly postponed but this is unlikely)
