gollark: My school barely lets you do *four*.

gollark: ... *five* A-levels?

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.
