Title: The Stupidest Mistake you can possibly make
Post by: Nabz 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!]

I did the wrong method first, and then corrected it and then crossed it and did the wrong one again.....hmph life sucks!!Apart from that so far so good!!I cried buckets of tears today..... :(

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??

@123

hmmm could be a low A..
best of luck

anyway yeah you know what one of the questions in math p3 - their method struck me in the last five mins too but i was too panicked to solve it ='[
so yeah dont worry, because the paper was too lengthy
but mine went considerably good... thankGod..

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?
