Going fine! We've been exclusive bf since 4 weeks, hit 5 months this week and still going strong! Thanks for all your help!

Oh dear oh dear - 5. Margunally better than Physics last week.

foundinstanslation - brilliant ! It is all so easy now isn't it ! And worth the early struggle.

9 with some inspired guesswork. Hi Hausfrau.

Lio · 20/10/2005 11:38

19/20 for maths (happy sigh from a deadline-free zone)

mummytosteven · 20/10/2005 11:42

6/14 - far worse than on any of the other bbc ones

Frizbe · 20/10/2005 11:48

6/14 with a bloomin geography degree

LunarSea · 20/10/2005 16:18

8 - and I thought I was quite good on geography
20/20 for English and Maths though!

swedishmum · 20/10/2005 16:32

14/14 but that was my second go! Only got 6 the first time (I'm very competitive, even with myself). Off to test dh next...

albert · 20/10/2005 16:34

6 and I've got an honours degree in Geography. Strange to note that those of us with a degree in the subject seem to have done really badly!

hatstand · 20/10/2005 16:41

9 - and that was a joint effort by dh and me. we sat in bad last night with the laptop and did the physics maths and english ones. it's an exciting life we lead (what's he like in bed? pretty good at simplifying equations...)

NannyL · 20/10/2005 20:18

I got 2 / 14 (and an A* in GCSE Geography)

albosmum · 20/10/2005 20:30

i have a degree in geography 2:1 - fab but only obtained an embarassing 5/14but i am very tried and its been a long time and i could think of loads more excuses..................... Can you believe i could teach this subject by doing a one year pgce - would it all come flooding back!!!

Lonelymum · 20/10/2005 20:32

Ha ha enjoyed that! I got 6 for the Geography test despite a B at O level and nearly doing it for A level.

Also tried the French and Physics tests. Got 4 for french (C at O level) and 5 for Physics (got an ungraded at O level!)

That was fun!

Can't wait for the history next week whcih I am a graduate in! Will probably get 1 out of 10!

ScarySkribble · 20/10/2005 21:34

9 correct, the african ones and the weather symbols got me, we never used those symbols and I did higher geography .

gigglinggoblin · 20/10/2005 21:38
  1. how pathetic. got all the maths ones right tho, that must count for something ??
ja9 · 20/10/2005 21:52

9

and i have an honours geography degree

teeavee · 21/10/2005 12:28

7/14 - thought the river don wrong was the Forth, and didn't know 'counterurbanisation' either......

teeavee · 21/10/2005 12:28

i'd never seen those weather symbols before either

WitchyWhizzz · 21/10/2005 19:05

I only got 7 and I got an A in Geog at school . I'd never seen those symbols either... silly questions !!

Wallace · 21/10/2005 19:25

I got 8 and I haven't done geography since I was 13

However, I live in Scotland, and have lived in Africa, which was a little help!

Wallace · 21/10/2005 19:32

7/10 for physics - haven't done that since I was 13 either, so some of it was lucky guesses. I do know how to wire a plug though
