Title: co-ord. sciences
Post by: abuelzouz on May 25, 2010, 09:25:42 am
hey..
any1 takin co-rd. ??
how did u do in paper 6?
hw r u preparing 4 paper 1 and 3?

plz answer :)

hi i did this science and i must say that paper 6 was a hard paper and lengthy. i hope to 40 on 60 and paper 1 just do alll past papers becax most questions are repeated but paper 3 you must read your textbook especially the hard topics that you find................................................... thats actually my way and ya did you do accounting

man I found paper 6 very easy!
the problem is dat i didn't finish studyin the whole syllabus 4 paper 3.. do u think i can manage my time?
no i didnt do account.

and hey i have a 2B pencil is it good for multiple choice paper becax they said HB and B are good
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: abuelzouz on May 25, 2010, 09:41:38 am
i did paper 61
i think hb and b r better

i did variant 2 and it was too hard and lengthy
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences

i have a 2B pencil with a rubber tip is it fine for multiple choice as someone told me that we should have carbon tip for multiple choice

I'm doing Coordinated Science as well ;)
Paper 6 was long but I managed fine, didn't get to check at the end though.

Gosh I'm so screwed with p3. I'm not done with revising Phys yet >>>.<<<  :-[
Are you guys all done with your revision for bio, chem & phys?
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: bestersbest on May 25, 2010, 10:33:17 am
PHY just learn formula but chem and bio is hard

Don't worried, you are not the only one who haven't finished revising.
For p3, I strongly suggest you start revising now. It's better late than never. Otherwise doing p3 without anything in your head is like suicide.

I'm cramming chemistry & phys and hoping to finish them tonight :-[

I DID VARIANT 2 science paper 1 today it was easy and am expecting more then 35 so did anyone do the same paper if yes then plzzzzz add my email abhik@live.com so that some answer we can discuss privately
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: BlackBunny103 on May 26, 2010, 07:42:38 am
I also did variant 2 :D. I found the paper was alright, not easy not hard. I'll probably lose about 4 or 5 marks.

My science teacher said this year Coordinated Science papers are tough. In the multiple choice, there are a lot of answers out there to trick you.

Please don't give your email out so people can email you to discuss the contents. It's against the exam rules. If you want to discuss anything related to the exams, wait till 24 hours have passed and discuss it in the Exam Discussion thread. Thank you.

hey how did ull find paper 1 today? ots of common confusion about lens diagram, the cell diagram which asks respiration, and when an ion is formed does it move to the right in the periodic table?
any answers...

no never and i did B for the lens and can you tell me about the multiple choice science that question with a ruler and 5N for force acting up and down

its nt rotatating

its nt rotatating

its balanced right
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: azhaan on May 27, 2010, 08:17:31 am
its balanced right
even i wrote balanced!
but the answer is rotating, as a turning effect is produced
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences

and
that lens and red hair abut parents and that best balanced food to east and that respiration occuring in plant
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: abuelzouz on May 27, 2010, 08:24:16 am
no it should be balanced both forces are equal and same distance wth?

i dnt think it ws balanced, try moving a pencil the same way using one finger on each end and u will see wt i mean

repsiration in cell- cytoplasm
red hair- both parents hetrozygous
its turning effect for sure

paper 3 was so easy!!!!
thank god :)
no science now !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thats wrong for red hair thats one parent must have dominant allel
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences

Hey just came back from paper 3.
This paper is the easiest one ever ;D

For red hair - you're wrong, it's A, both parents must contain a recessive allele.

 you are wrong its actually one parent should have dominant allel and wat did you put for that 5N downwards and 5N upwards its balanced or rotate
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: BlackBunny103 on May 27, 2010, 03:57:43 pm
you are wrong its actually one parent should have dominant allel and wat did you put for that 5N downwards and 5N upwards its balanced or rotate

It can't be dominant because it was stated that red was a recessive allele and we didn't know what's \the dominant allele so how can you say one parent should have dominant. So if you draw up Punnet square, you'll see, in order to get bb, both parents must contain recessive allele.

For the 5N downwards & upwards, I got rotation only ;).
What did you put for the lenses?

Is it okay if if I got 0.138? I didn't know we have to convert the grams in KG

Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: BlackBunny103 on June 06, 2010, 12:31:54 am
guyz wt do u thnk abt da curves?

If the curve still exists, then I assume it'll be normal (not high, not low) for Coordinated Science. Because p6 was damn long & challenging, p1 was normal, & p3 was so easy. So it's likely that it's either more than 85% or 90% to get an A*. :D
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: RoyTheToy on June 06, 2010, 05:29:08 am
how about A
Title: Re: co-ord. sciences
Post by: BlackBunny103 on June 06, 2010, 12:38:32 pm
how about A

I'm not sure about A since I only aim for & achieve A*s. :D
But perhaps A is either above 75% or above 80%.

Low grade boundary? I don't think so, as mentioned above, p6 was hard, p1 was normal, p3 was really easy so the grade boundary will remain normal, according to me. I'm not sure though. Just wait until 12th August ;) Chill out :D

Have you been to freeexampastpapers.com ?

Go to last years paper and get the grade thresholds, the grade for an A is like 60%...
