Posted May 30, 2007 Well good luck people! I still have a bit over three weeks to go till school is over; three exams to study for.

Posted May 30, 2007 Gonna be spending the rest of today going through Biology Past Papers. I know most of the theory so I guess i just gotta get a feel of what the questions are like. Its annoying how I have this week off, the Biology, Maths and Chemistry in consecutive days. Biology is gonna take a while aswell cos i'm resitting foundation.

Posted May 30, 2007 Past papers are everything.. if anything, they are the best revision material you can have.. you know what to gear up for! My last exam was for 'Introduction to Computer Games' and I thought I could apply a lot of my knowledge in the exam and be able to pass ok.. but there was no past paper to be found for it. therefore, when I went in for the exam I was shocked at the difficulty of the questions asked and the fact that I couldn't apply anything relevant. It was so difficult I felt, even though I revised and read through all the notes. It was a disaster! Past papers FTW : peace: And good luck everyone! My wee magicbuttons is in an exam at the moment pouring all her french knowledge onto her answer booklet.. hope she's doing the business Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 30, 2007 We never get any interesting courses/subjects. My schools so unfashioned and boring. I'm like a crazed bohemian. AGH! I hate chemistry. Never understood it syndrome. Actually that's a lie. I know the pH scale thing, and the recycling/environment questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2007 Wo0t. Prelims starting Monday. Inorganic and Organic I can do fine. Physical and maths are a nightmare. I learnt on Monday that I have to know quite a bit of quantum. Which made me shit myself a little. Whoops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2007 Last exam today for me too After Physics it'll all be over! No more school forever... University does NOT count Sorry to hear it Takeo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2007 Maths test tomorrow, i havn't revised very much but what i have looked at there isn't much i don't know... I'm still scared though. Got maths and Geography tomorrow. Maths should be ok but i don't understand surds. Can anyone point me in a helpful direction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2007 Just remember that surds can be spilt up into smaller surds eg √12 = √3 x √4 and so you can simplify the surd by finding a factor that is a square number. So if you had √640 you can clearly see that a factor of 640 is 64 and so it splits up into √64 x √10 = 8√10. Been doing some hardcore revision today, since I have four exams in four days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2007 Also when you want to rationalise a denominator where the denominator is a surd, you have you multiply the fraction by 1, or the surd which is the denominator over itself. Ie. to rationalise 3/(square root of 5) you would multiply that by (square root of 5)/(square root of 5). Then that would simplfy to 3(square root of 5)/5. Lol I wish I knew where the square root symbol was on my keyboard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2007 Well if you have addition of surds then the question probably wants you to write it as one surd. Something like √12 + √27 which you would make 2√3 + 3√3 = 5√3. For division, it probably wants you to rationalise the denominator. Something like 2/√3 you would multiply the top and bottom by √3 to get 2√3/3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2007 I have loads of exams this week (6 exams, not including the separate sciences) so i'm going to be stressed pretty bad by the end of it. Although the good news is, once this week is over i only have 4 exams left yay. I don't get that proportional change thing, x is proportional to inverse y or something. Everything else i'm pretty fine on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 3, 2007 Dear god, i've got 3 bio exams tomorrow (practically my entire As Course basically), and i've been doing past papers and my marks tend to basically either JUST get an A or just miss it. Getting Chickenpox has really fucked up my revision I was feeling really ill until like wednesday and so i've been 4 days behind in terms of revision. I still haven't even started going over my chemistry and that's on wednesday. GRAH chickenpox sucks ass! Can't believe how unlucky I've been Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 3, 2007 If x is directly proportional to y: x = kx If x is directly proportional to the square of y: x = ky^2 If x is inversely proportional to y: x = k/y If x is inversely proportional to the square of y: x = k/y^2 You get the idea. In each case, find k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
