To be fair to Ralfie he did say he's not great with maths (At least i think it was him )

Didn't read what FullMetalJack said correctly, silly me. I am actually great with maths. After all I have produced some very accurate stats involving points.

I'm supposed to be good at maths, but after having an absolute shocker of a Mechanics M1 exam last month, I'm not so sure anymore. Why did I take Maths as an A-level?

I'm thinking of a new username I could use right now, because I'm slightly bored watching the Tour de France Team Time Trial over and over again today

Since I'm a slalom paddler, maybe SlalomDude? KayakKid?

Happy_Reject?

I'll keep thinking...

Your stats are very accurate. I checked myself, for that matter. You're good at math.

"controversial" perhaps? I could think of many related to F1 Rejects discussion.

Controversial pasta I going to stick his neck on the line here and say that you should keep your current username, and that if you don't like it then maybe you should've thought a little harder when you came up with it......

Don't quite understand why people change their usernames...

Which is what I was thinking, pasta!

In fact, I came up with my username because my family was a bunch of hooligans who were fans of the famous Ferrari No. 2 driver Rubens Barrichello and we always chanted "Go Rubens!" when he was in contention for a win or was in a Williams crapbox.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking hard enough

Neither was I, but this name is good enough. I thought of it after watching this hilarious rFactor video. The references can be found at 1:20:10 and especially 1:22:15.

Controversial? Unless your being highly sarcastic, I think not after all, you agree with pretty much every post on this forum it would seem

True. But I (occasionally) have a controversial opinion

Plus, it's something random. But SlalomDude is better!

Doing Maths for A-Level was a huge regret of mine. And I had a shocker with M1 too.

Its compulsory until Leaving Cert here, which suits me down to the ground as I'm unreal at it

Just out of curiosity, how much flexibility do you have with regards to the modules that you can take? I assume that it would be C1 to C4, M1 and S1 that you are doing (assuming that the course has not changed too much in recent years). From what I can recall, oddly I found that I had a slightly worse mark in M1 than I did in my M2 module (I found the M2 module a little more intuitive as it was, in some ways, closer to what you might do in Physics).

Not directed at me, but I did C1-4, M1 and S1 at A-Level. The people who did Further Maths at my Sixth Form did something called "Decision 1", and I was never really sure what that module entailed. Anyway, I'm not sure how interchangeable the non-Core maths modules are; I don't know if it's possible to do, say, both M1 and M2 for the standard A-Level Maths...

I ended up getting a B in the end...which is alright, I guess, but I still had to go through "clearing" to pick up a place at university. Not the easiest thing to do when you're on holiday in France with no internet.

Yep, those are the modules that I've done over the past two years. C1, C2 and S1 at AS level, C3, C4 and M1 at A2 level. And I believe my maths teacher chose what modules that we would be studying before we began the course, though I'm fairly sure that C1 and C2 are compulsory for all students.

I'm already dreading the notion that I'll have to go through clearing next month, or even have to stay on for another year at sixth form.

Well I'm doing a 2 year BTEC in IT at my local sixth form

Sounds like the fairly common mixture of modules then. I'm sure, though, that your results in the C3 and C4 units will be fine and that you'll pull through (I assume that you did well at AS level?).

In other news, I appear to have hit the 2 posts a day barrier...party begins at 9, with well known personalities such as Jimmy Carr, Michael McIntyre, Max Chilton and Laura Robson attending

Laura Robson is a good choice (a classic poster image comes to mind - ) but no Pippa Mann? Katherine Legge? Alice Powell? Carmen Jorda? Vicky Piria? Simona di Silvestro? Lyn St James? Giovanna Amati?

You need more motor racing personalities, in other words.

No to Giovanna Amati? You do realise what website you're on, mate?

And where's "Fiona Wolff"/"Susie Leggate" in that list, good Doctor?

My mistake! Maybe I just didn't want to be overwhelmed by all that talent (whatever it is that I mean by talent...).

The thing is, I'm not too confident with how the C3 and C4 exams went last month. They were better than M1, but they weren't brilliant exams. I'm currently on a low C for AS Maths, but I retook C1 and C2 in May, and I felt those exams went well (C1 was lovely), so hopefully I might have a high C/low B for AS come August.

My other A2 subjects, English Language and Politics, I'm pretty much at the grades I need, and I felt the exams I did for those subjects last month went very well. If only this was the case with Maths.

At least the UEA is understood to be quite lenient when it comes to letting people in, and much fewer people have applied to university this year, so I should get in barring some major disaster with my results.

I had invited Bill, but he told me he was doing a set in Ibiza with David Guetta and Nick Heidfeld, amongst others, so he couldn't make it

I wonder why there were so many users on July 6 last year. Probably commenting on how the weather ruined it for everyone at Silverstone.
