Statistics 3 and 4
During exams I managed to miss my Stats 3 exam, I accidentally turned up in the afternoon, about 4 hours late. Keith kindly tutored me and prepared me for a replacement Stats 4 exam in 12 days (doing a crazily good job, incidentally). A couple of weeks later the college received a letter as expected saying the module wouldn’t count and I’d get 0.
So when I got results on Thursday I was a little suprised to see I’d been given 100 for S3. Today I went into college to find someone to talk to and found Mr Thomas who tells me OCR seem to have changed their mind, though they haven’t used the score in the 12 modules for my A–level. Mr Thomas is amazingly inspiring...

I've always had this mental image of a kindly old OCR examiner thinking to himself "Well, he didn't mean to miss the exam, so I might as well give him the benefit of the doubt, seeing as it doesn't make a difference anyway".
<3 OCR!
