me and tests.. ok this is slightly strange... i hated them, i didnt really care about them or see the importance but i had a nack for acing them! i managed to get 7 (i think) GCSEs despite missing all but 8 months of my last 2 school years and not doing any on my coursework..... a lot of good that did me though
"while I was starting to make games and very into the whole computer thing that the teachers there just did not get"
Heheh, I can relate to that. I was placed at the HAVO, which is for "mediocre humans with a chance of becoming smart humans". In the third year I got really demotivated with all the tests and started getting low grades. I remember my tutor having a rant at me for that. She asked me if I spent a lot of time playing computer games or watching tv, to which I replied, kind of proudly, "not really, but I MAKE computer games!". She frowned and said "well, STOP THAT."
That very same woman will be my direct colleague next semester .
How things come about-face, eh? I bet she'll be dead frustrated that you're up to her level despite spending your youth "making games2 rather than studying!

Purdy much the same. I did bugger all at school, was just a place to have fun and pick up chicks. But I got into a few top sets for Science and Geography. Did no revision, no coursework and walked away only getting a D on 1 subject.
Fun times.
I'm 14, turning 15 this year (on October 11 *cough cough*).
Edit: And on this subject of schools. In my school if you fail a couple subjects they take away an elective and give you an extra class with tutors that just help you with the subjects your crap at. They don't go all out and make you write and exam in primary school.
I think it depends who you get in your year group. One of my brothers had a year of complete idiots, drug abusers etc. I was lucky to have some friendly people in my year group.
