i think its was but as i was doing it could not get enought sides and angles to do it so it wouldn't work

Didn't do that Q, but it was probably a cosine rule thing... unless it was like findng the angle of elevation... like angle looking up from the boat to the island, but I assume you mean the boat was travelling to an Island or something... so probably something involving cosine or sine, or one of those triangle formulas... they usually do...

Didn't do that Q, but it was probably a cosine rule thing... unless it was like findng the angle of elevation... like angle looking up from the boat to the island, but I assume you mean the boat was travelling to an Island or something... so probably something involving cosine or sine, or one of those triangle formulas... they usually do...

these things ' are just used for saying stuff like that's it's etc... (I think...) I also use em for other stuff like when I use a word but don't really mean it... kinda hard to explain... like below for 'proper' (you'll see it when you read the next bit...)
But you won't lose marks for the content in English, you just have a certain amount of Spelling a grammer marks in Englih (and all papers I think...?) And you won't get full spelling and grammer marks for doing that. However, spelling and grammer marks are usually only something like 3 - 6 marks anyhow... and each question is out of about 20? So it's not gonna make much difference. Anyhow, don't worry, I didn't write a story for the one you were supposed to (well, not a 'proper' story... it was supposed to be about me, but just ended up focusing on my thought processes...) and the examiner will probably think I was just aimlessly rambling for a few sides... but nevermind :D

Hey, even *I* managed to pass that paper, so I wouldn't worry about. Last year, the resits were considerably easier than the originals, so I'm hoping that'll happen again this time, otherwise - I be pooped

Anyone do the GCSE maths higher paper...? Dunno if you had the same paper as me, but for the last question (it was finding the volume of a greenhouse or something...) I got 6.31 metres cubed... anyone else...?
Anyway, French reading tomorrow... but not till the afternoon! :D
Anyway, French reading tomorrow... but not till the afternoon! :D
i just had maths GCSE retake i somehow had cold, french match was on i was eager to find out the score and i was kinda tired by my cold!
On monday i have graphics exam...its at 11o'clock but we have to go at quarter to 9 and we have to be supervised so the group before us cant tell us the questions. Thing is...the higher people are doing it at 11 and us highers do a different test anyway. DUH!!!!!! so no 2nd round world cup on mon :(
Here's my brief account so far of the AS exams:
20 May: First Maths exam, P1. Went good, I suppose. Had enough time and patience to count the marks I would most likely get - I predict around 70 to 80%.
23 May: P2 Maths. Obviously, it was harder than the first one. Didn't have time to count marks, although I'm expecting a relatively low score, possibly around 50%. Not disastrous, though.
27 May: Business Studies - 2 modules, each lasting an hour and a half. Oddly, we did the second module first. Went smootly, although by the time the second (first) paper had arrived, my hand was tired and my brain was bored from all the boring business terms. I won't be taking this next year (unless I get an A).
28 May: First (and only) mechanics paper for maths this year (M1). Arrived slightly late - exam had not started yet, though everyone was already in the hall. Not a good start - made me nervous. Never had to wade through such an organised crowd of tables. Oh well, at least it was easy finding my table.
Exam went badly. Questions seemed familiar, but I coulsn't seem to use the skills I learnt in class to the quesiton itself. Expecting a low, low score. Maybe a pass if I'm lucky.
30 May: Double computing. 3 hours of writing. Seemed okay, although there was the odd quesiton which was a bit unfamiliar. I blame it on lack of revision for the subject, though. Had 40 minutes to spare when I finished - looked around, and saw I was not alone. Hoped the second paper lasted longer - it did, but only by an extra ten minutes. And that was becasue I started to feel hungry - I can't concentrate when I'm hungry, you see.
31 May: ANOTHER double sided session, but this time with physics. The first module, Quantum Phenomenon and Particles, went good. Mechanics also went okay. However, both papers suffered the "too much time" issue -I was so bored, I drew a story based on my own version of hieroglyphics on my pencil. It's still there. It's about - never mind, ask if you want to know.
Week of half term: thought this would be a good chance to catch up on revision proper and learn the content for the remaining two papers I had. It would have gone to plan, until I started watching the World Cup. Revised for one day out of the possible ten available.
11 June: Last paper for physics, based on electricity and elastic properties. Did good on some questions, crap on others. Would have had a lot of time to spare, if it wasn't for the frequent trips to the toilet. Stil had enough time to finish. Learnt a valuable lesson in not eating ice-cream early in the morning.
Found out that I won Gameaday. Pondered for 2 minutes thinking about what game to get. Stopped thinking and started writing this account.
TOMORROW: Business studies, last module. Content on people in organisations and operations management. These were my least favourite of the modules in the Business Studies course.
After the exam, will be going to town to buy a Gamecube and a few games. I really can't wait.
15 August: Consider and execute one of the following options, depending on my results.
Drop out of college
Drop one or twocourses
Take up History/Psychology after dropping Business Studies.
Resit year.
I really hope it's not the first or last one. Still, it's not the end of the world - I might be looked down upon by my parents, brother, family and college peers and lecturers, but ther's still a life to be used. And that's the most important thing.
