Higher Art Practical, Ordinary Theory?

    So, I'm going from spectacular failure to spectacular failure in these ol' exams o' mine.
    At this point it's unfortunately looking very likely that I may not even get the 5 passes I need for a PLC course. I was toying with the idea of dropping to Ordinary Art [in retrospective, I wish I'd abandoned my stupid principles and done so with English and/or History..] in order to maximise my chances of passing 5 subjects.
    Problem is, I've already done my practical at Higher level. Am I stuck? Because that would be something of a bollocks...

    you do realize your practical is worth 62.5%? you could already have a C! I wouldn't dream of dropping down if i were you.

    This. Honestly you probably have passed or gotten the aforementioned C at least unless you're certain you totally messed that up. Keep it up, it will be ok. :cool:

    Dropped down, for better or for worse. And did pretty badly, too [essay writing disaster, as per f-ing usual :mad:].
    We'll see how it goes, I guess.
    Didn't really trust myself to not fail, tbh. Practical didn't go too well, figure-drawing aside.

    Guess it's what I get for realizing I have no artistic aptitude halfway through this year.
