Holy Shiii-

I fell over reading that.

 

Maths non-calc and Geography out of the way now. Maths went pretty well I'd guess but it is hard to tell. I mistimed Geography, missed out 2 questions and a case study (about 12/90 marks) so thats probably my A* gone, what I did was good though, just missed a lot of the paper.

 

Damn you Coolness Bears for getting extra time, I needed it. Life is not fair.

 

 

 

It quite clearly says STATS. Noob :D

 

AQA here too buddy.

 

Did you fo 3 questions and the map question? I did that and had a good 30mins spare to draw my wii etc:yay:

1hr 45mins 6 questions of which you had to do 3 and the map skills. I have a paper next week on monday 1hr 30mins where 6 questions again but only do 3 (I will do population managing resources and industry).

 

Today I did ecosystems, tectonics and coasts. Was quite easy I thought.

I publically screamed when I got to the end of a geography question and realised I knew nothing about an area of high population density for the case study, so I made up some crap about Rio De Janiero.

I don't know why, but I did Ghana. I don't think it's even densely populated.

This is true. Though they can lead to problems, for example:

 

  1. Buy a TI-84+ calculator.
  2. Write a program on it to solve quadratic equations for you.
  3. Realise that the memory gets wiped before exams.
  4. Give up and solve them like normal people.

 

Get a Ti92+/Voyage 200, let them wipe your memory - the software to solve quadratic equotations is built-in :yay:

 

OR do it without a calculator - just remember those 2 easy formulas (when x^2 vs. a * x^2) and you are done :)

Just be glad you didn't do Mongolia - it's the least densely populated country on the planet.

The irony is that if you can write a program to solve quadratics, you can solve them yourself anyway. (this being further maths A2, the formula was fairly burnt into my skull, along with how to derive it)

Over here, they're not allowed to touch our calculators, and the teachers even advise us to put "memory helpers" in it.
