Hi eveyone. I think now is 24 hours over.
How was your Accounting Paper 2? Hard or easy?
What is the minimum marks to score an A for this paper 2?
Please give suggestion and why you said so.
Personally it was hard to me.

hi all

are we allowed to discuss the paper now after 2 days? do any of you know when the answers will be posted?
did you find this harder than the pure and how are the papers weighted? is it just pure 60%, stats 40%?

thanks!
Title: Re: nov 4 stats paper

Title: Re: nov 4 stats paper
Post by: dlehddud on November 07, 2009, 07:20:01 am
those are the weightings
nd i found stats harder than pure especially that first qustion on mean and SD
i think i got it wrong cos some friends said that they used the bell curve for norm dist which i think is correct..
Title: Re: nov 4 stats paper
Post by: kratos009 on November 07, 2009, 09:52:43 am
Are you sure that is the weightings for maths? I thought it was 50/50 for pure and stats. Anyway yeah i think for that first question in order to find the s.d you have to use a normal distribution curve, because they tell you the LQ value and we know that anything lower than LQ has the probability of 25% so you can draw and diagram to represent this and then you should be able to figure it out using normal distribution.

Hey guys....just out of curiosity...how did you guyz find chem paper 2 and 3? Physics paper 3? Bio Paper 3? IT paper 1 and 2? Maths paper 1&6? and any other papers you guys want to discuss...??
Title: Re: AS/ALEVEL EXAM DISCUSSION HERE ONLY
Post by: falafail on November 07, 2009, 07:34:19 pm
i'm only doing math and physics atm..
physics paper 3 was good, i think.
math paper 1 was kinda crappy for me, but paper 6 was awesome.

how 'bout you?
Title: Re: nov 4 stats paper
Post by: falafail on November 07, 2009, 07:39:06 pm
hmm, how would you use the bell curve?
i just did P (X<63) = 0.75  and found the standard deviation using the z thingie and the normal distribution table..
oh and you estimate the median to be the mean, right?

anyway, it was hard, but i think it went pretty well  :)

Bio p3 - sh*t

Phy p3 - meh. It was alright, I guess. (if there's ecf..)

I loved paper 3 physics...it was great
paper 3 chem i didnt finish on time... it kicked my mood out of me
paper 2 chem i kept swearing the name of marie curie for her F******g discovery of radium (it's the same paper right?)
paper 1 maths was good.just lost marks on vectors
paper 6 was ok, did silly costly mistakes
how u found it?

Post by: jinxnumba1 on November 08, 2009, 09:45:25 am
well i thought evrything was ok..until i came out of the exam room and ppl started discussing the papers...which really ruined my mood...

phys ppr 3...it was ok..i made silly mistakes..so i hope there's error carried forward..and my k wasn't constant...

chem ppr 3...when i was doing the prac i thot it was fyn...but i came out..nd i kno i made a lot of mistakes esp with my graph....for the last part about adding silver nitrate and to the ppt adding ammonia...did any1 get a ppt??

chem ppr 2 was ok...but organic killed me!! and i made a mistake with the energetics graph...did u guys draw it with 1 hump or 2 humps??

bio ppr 3 was ok...if guys did paper 31...what out of A1, A2, and A3 was stained??

Both maths papers were fine..but i made silly mistakes in stats..which suks...

looks lik u did ok overall :)

Post by: ilmarien on November 08, 2009, 11:55:38 am
I've only done Bio Paper 3 and Physics Paper 3.

Bio paper 3 was...  :( I don't know, I didn't follow the safety procedure for the lab, I think they'll deduct some points out of it. For question 1, the fourth solution (S4) contains the most starch, the first has no starch at all (S1), but S2 and S3 were interchangeable, I was confounded. (The S1 through S4 is the same for each school, right?)
For question number 2, I measured the WIDTH of the guard cell instead of the LENGTH.
Question 3 was just okay.

Physics paper 3 was also quite a failure for me. Question 1 was good.
Question 2 was awful. The threshold weight kept changing. I repeated about 10 times and it kept changing DRASTICALLY! From 260 grams, to over 500 grams. The feeling of desperation all come back to me just as I talk about it. :-\

(By the way, I got all 'U's for all paper 3, I'm currently retaking them. I'm hoping to get at least 'E' this time around. Maybe I'm just retarded in the field of Paper 3)

aw, i'm sorry D:
i thought you only got Us if you didn't sit the exam, though? as in, ungraded?  :-\
and if it makes you feel any better, i wasn't sure about the weight either..


oh By the way, did your results support the theory thing? the last question, i mean. in physics paper 3. anyone?

Post by: Sorceres on November 08, 2009, 12:36:09 pm
maths paper 1 and 6 was ok.. though the first question of paper six made me kinda panic.. and yeah i definitely got that wrong..

for the practicals, i'm most satisfied with chem, then physics and then bio.. my first question for physics, gah i didn't have enough time to "alter" the values and draw a nice best fit line.. so yeah that kinda sucks especially since i had to do question 2 first and sat there idle for like 20 minutes  :-\  bio pracs was horrible.. my 'slide' was really shiteous and i couldnt really see anything or rather don't know what to see.. so yeah i crapped out my observation :)

chem 2 was the worst of all.. and somehow i THINK that i can do variant 1 better than variant 2.
how many ppl think that its damn hard? hopefully the threshold will be lowered.

i'm with you...variant 2 was really horrible....but u kno actually dey never change d difficulty in 2 variants of the same paper only questions basically...but still i wantd to do variant 1...damn we shud hav had an option....this sux.. X[
Title: Re: AS/ALEVEL EXAM DISCUSSION HERE ONLY
Post by: Tyserius on November 08, 2009, 05:30:41 pm
Well, for me let's start off with Thinking Skills :
Paper 1 : Some were easy, some were hard. I hate the critical thinking part. I preferred problem solving.
Paper 2 : Once again, I did not have enough time to write my last 3 sentences!

Mathematics :
Paper 1 : I guess it was more of a breeze compared to P6.
Paper 6 : I made a careless mistake like everyone else on the SD of the first question. And my 1,3,5 and 6 arrangement. (Was too confident about it the day before till I neglected it for Economics ~_~)

Economics :
Paper 1 : (Not done)
Paper 2 : I just had 10 seconds left when I was done! I hope I did great. I didn't like the choice of essay questions. I picked the one with the lighthouse and light bulb. That was the easiest there ~_~

Physics :
Paper 1 : (Not done)
Paper 2 : (Not done)
Paper 3 : I think I had one limitation wrong ~_~ I hate it when they ask for limitations! D: But my values for k had only a 4% percentage difference! So I guess it was okay overall.

How about everyone else? :)

I think I did the Chem P2 variant 2. I liked the organic chem + kinetic theory in it but not so much the oxidation numbers part, though I was lucky to have remembered the exception for metal hydrides.

Does anyone know the correct answer for the permutations Q in maths P6? It was the one that asked for for the different 3 digit and 4 digit numbers able to be produced from the numbers 1,3,5,6 and the digits formed had to be >500 as well as being odd numbers. So far I've heard varying answers
thanks
Title: Re: AS/ALEVEL EXAM DISCUSSION HERE ONLY
Post by: kratos009 on November 09, 2009, 03:50:23 am
Well for that permutation question i got 18 ways but I'm not sure if that is the right answer. Yeah I've also heard varying answers, i think the correct answer might be 28 but i'm not 100% sure. And for the chemistry paper 2, the question asked for a common carbon compound that had a similar structure to SiC, was it by any chance diamond?

I got 20something..
I actually wrote down all the 3 digit numbers >500 and counted the odd ones, then i multiplied 3/4 by the total value of permutations i got in the first part and added them up.

Circular motion

Ideal gas & temperature
SHM
magnetic field
Electric field
Electromagnetism and application and yah i forgot application ( neva learned that before and exams is in 2 hours XD )

I think I did the Chem P2 variant 2. I liked the organic chem + kinetic theory in it but not so much the oxidation numbers part, though I was lucky to have remembered the exception for metal hydrides.

Does anyone know the correct answer for the permutations Q in maths P6? It was the one that asked for for the different 3 digit and 4 digit numbers able to be produced from the numbers 1,3,5,6 and the digits formed had to be >500 as well as being odd numbers. So far I've heard varying answers
thanks

Just so you know, the correct answer is 28. The way to calculate is as follows :

a) 3-digit cases
    i) Beginning with 5,
       5 _ _ --> The last blank will let you have 2 possibilities (1 and 3) and after putting 1 number the 2nd blank will have 2 possibilities (1 and 6 or 3 and 6 depending on your last digit) = 2 x 2 = 4
    ii) Beginning with 6,
       6 _ _ --> Last blank 3 possibilities (1,3 or 5) and after 1 number, 2nd blank will have 2 possibilities as 2 numbers left = 2 x 3 = 6

b) 4-digit case
    _ _ _ _ --> The last blank must be an odd number (1,3 or 5), the other blanks can be arranged by any order = 3! x 3 (for the last blank) = 18

Total = 4 + 6 + 18 = 28

There's your answer! I forgot to consider odd digits for the 4-digit case ~_~ Careless me.

hmm, how would you use the bell curve?
i just did P (X<63) = 0.75  and found the standard deviation using the z thingie and the normal distribution table..
oh and you estimate the median to be the mean, right?

anyway, it was hard, but i think it went pretty well  :)

High five! Haha.. xD

Well physics p31 was awesome
      physics p41 was good ( can get more than 55-60)
      chemistry p2 and p5 was good
      chemistry p31 didn't had time to finish the paper =(
      maths p1 and p3 and s1 was oki
      only in p6 i didn't work well can get at most half :'(

tomorrow got chem p41
and yah am doing variant 1

wel im doin variant 1 for evrything....i can't remembr my answers for the permutations bit...
i just hope the thresholds for chem is like really low so that i can @least get a B... like the may/june 2009 chem papr 2...a B was 50-something percent....
i have bio ppr1 this afternoon....hope it goes well...
and 4 the enegetics part in chem ppr2 variant 1...u're supposed to show 2 "humps" and the intermediate....which was the CH3 radical...so yeah... that really sukd..  :'(
hopefully everything else will be fine....

And then from there, supposedly you're able to get an A for A2, you get a B due to lack of concentration for it then for the resit you get a B too due to double-tasking on the subject :(

The last question was about the Plant discs placed inside bags thing, a really random question, it took so much of my time... >:(
It was confusing. For one thing, I didn't know how small an invertebrate can be. I answered "Small invertebrate only", by the way. I thought microorganisms are supposed to be about 5 or 10 micrometers and would affect the discs with very small-holed nets.

I didn't finish on time! I didn't get to think through question number 24 or 26 about DNA replication (the one with the huge figures taking up the whole page) and I think I shaded the wrong answer...
Title: Re: AS/ALEVEL EXAM DISCUSSION HERE ONLY
Post by: kratos009 on November 11, 2009, 10:25:26 am
Oh right i answered A for the last question because i thought that if it were micro-organisms then the last column would have been affected to, but all the leaves remained 100%... So i was tossing up between the invertebrates and the earthworms and beetles option :-\.

Title: Re: AS/ALEVEL EXAM DISCUSSION HERE ONLY
Post by: ilmarien on November 11, 2009, 11:02:03 am
It was also a toss up for me, but I think that if it were beetles and earthworms, they wouldn't be able the affect the second column. I was extremely indecisive: rubbing out answers multiple times and shading them over about 20 times.
I just pray my grade's up to expectation.

Merging the topics is just, well, lame.

We can have 2 different papers (diff. subjects / diff. grade as/a2) on the same day.

Some students like to predict what can come and discuss questions on certain past papers, etc. WHY isn't that allowed? No attempt on cheating has been made on the discussion board yet; so :S  ??? >:(

The answer is definitely C. First case is that beta particles cannot pass through aluminium, 2nd is that in an electric field beta particles deviate more as they have the lowest mass (newtons law). Third is in a magnetic field electrons (beta particles) would deflect at an angle more than right angle. So it's definitely C. Need not check the past year papers. It isn't a repeating question.

I don't know which answer is this but the answer was the one that started with "M"

What did you guys get for the Diffraction Maxima (I got D which was 15) and the Oil suspended one?

Yeah i think the answer for that beta, alpha, gamma question was C. I can't remember that diffraction question, and for the oil droplet i can't remember what i put  :D. If you explain that diffraction question a bit more i might be able to remember  ;).

Yeah i think it has been 24 hours. Anyway on the other thread the discussion has already begun :P. But for Biology you can't really discuss too much about the questions because they are all explanation questions...
