The Economics of Middle Eastern Oil (1962)

gollark: The system here (for A levels) is that you just do one set of exams at the end of two years and schools can do mock ones if they want. It *sounds* sensible, except you apply to universities before getting any A level grades and also a significant amount of things depend just on how well you happened to do over one/a few days.

gollark: You have very brief time to revise between exams?

gollark: Huh. Wow.

gollark: Oh, so you just... have... exams... constantly?

gollark: That seems really early, what do you do the *rest* of the year?
