There wasn't wimpy coursework in the 70's, just a straight exam :lol:

Passing had more to do with being in the top however many a school wanted, rather than a mark. You were listed in descending order and went to the school of your choice, if it had spaces. (3 Choices from memory.)

FS Record: Was Improving
13/15 due to running out of time on the codes as couldn't get my head around the question to start with as thought the numbers were jumbled, making it more complicated than it was, which is also what stumped Mrs E. My son and Mrs E both got 12/15.

13/15 - I thought I'd got 14 right but apparently not - spent the last three minutes trying to work out 15 and then just guessed because I ran out of time.

The first few I was thinking.... "this is easy".... then towards the end I was thinking what! It's the time ticking away - I like to take my time over things like this. :lol:

We must have been separated at birth barry.

exactly the same score and time.

I guessed at the last one.

I might have worked it out but was desperate to escape for a ciggy behind the bike sheds.
