I've winged every exam I've ever done. The idea of revision is alien to me.

I wish I was good at that...I'm pretty mediocre when it comes to both revision and exams. :rolleyes:
And I can't stand the revision part, either doing it or knowing what part of something to cover when doing the revision.

I usually get pretty good marks when I cram...
I got 91% on my LA writing final I did a few weeks ago.. I got marks taken off for using the word "bastard." :rolleyes:
My teacher wrote something like "good vocabulary, but some words not appropriate for school assignment."
It would totally lose the effect is I took that one word out! And now I have to alter my entire story thing I'm writing now.. it's gonna suck :rolleyes:

Use a thesaurus... :p
Then you might find an equally good word they'll accept.

I see no reason why "bastard" should be classed as inappropriate.

It is one of the greatest words in the English language.

"Bastard" isn't in my lame pocket thesaurus...

I had to take out a crapload of words from my story, but I am NOT taking out hell and damn... she'll have to deal with those :rolleyes:

It's a historical thing. Being called illegitimate was once a great insult, especially it meant you wouldn't go inheriting your family fortune because of it.

@OS, use an online thesaurus maybe?

Bastard was the only thing I could really have that would still keep the effect, I think... I think it's stupid that my teacher said that though because kids in my school swear nonstop and she won't let me use a simple bastard..

No wonder. You shouldn't use people of any kind and especially not those who have special needs :p
