Strange i dint do well in science and maths but i have a degree in biology and chemistry and i came top in maths and maths physic the two years i took them in college. It really goes to show that if your unhappy you wont do well. I was miserable in school and nearly didnt get to do my leaving because i hadnt attended the compulsory minimum number of days (I went a grand total of 34 days in 6th year) i had to get my dcotor to argue with my school to let me sit it.
