The Stupidest Mistake you can possibly make
« on: June 11, 2009, 02:02:22 pm »
My stupidest mistake so far would be the Kc expression in Chemistry 4, how could I have been so damn stupid >:( I feel like banging my head against a wall or sth...... :'(
So in an attempt to cheer myself up, I would like to know your stupid mistake in the exams!!

okayy i have several stupid mistakes this session... but to mention one - in chemistry mcqs i chose Ca(NO3)2 as the compound that will precipitate whereas i knew well enough that nitrates are ALL soluble! i mean what a general concept that is and i messed that up! LOL

i dunno why it didn't strike me at that time! [argh!]

Fair enough!!  :D
Man...I feel like poisoning myself for losing such a good opportunity in Pure Maths 3
Only a handful of people could get full marks in P3 this time....Damn it, i could have been 1 of these handful. :-[
I only left out the easiest vectors question in it...i was gonna do it last, since i didn't get it while reading it...then the method struck me at the last min....DAMN IT!!
Hope i didn't make many stupid mistakes in rest of the questions!!

Just want to know: lets say some1 in CIE AS level maths got 'B' in P1, 'A' in M1. And in A2 lvl in maths its a 'A' in P3 & 'B' in S1.
What will he/she get in overall A level Maths??

Does anyone here know the mininmum grades you need in each paper to get an  overall A. I kow someone who in CIE chemistry A level got the following: P1 A , P2 A , P3 C , P4 C , P5 C and he got an oveall B.Is that possible? Does anyone know a simila case?
