I know mate. 2 out of 4 scholarship students failed in atleast one of the subjects yesterday from my school (me being the one who passed in all four subjects with below average grades by my standard).
One student broke our O Level grade record this year which one of my friends set last year by gaining 10 A*s, 1 A and 1 B last year. The new student got 11 A*s and 1 A. :S Wow. Kicked ass.
Waise, one tip for GP is that focus on the content, the points, rather than on the grammar or vocabulary. The more convincing the points, the better the marks.
One student who got 7A*s and 2 As in O levels failed in GP but got 3 As in other subjects because she failed to write proper convincing points.
She was also on scholarship.
