Re: Does student life shut down in UK also during O-level and A-level exams?
It's G.C.S.E (Metric) and A Level (FSC I think). There aren't any tution centres as such but during term-time revision sessions are put aside for students a month or so before exams. Obviously one Is expected to plan their own study time off campus. I don't think you can expect a decent grade If you are going to pull all nighters before major exams, ofcourse the naturally gifted won't need revision.
Students here like to shake their booty. Students often go out during term-time and some even when their exams are around the corner. Partying Is a major part of their lifestyle.
