I'm confused as to why this happened. This happened with everyone in the classroom, are our students missing something? What do your teachers give you when preparing for a SAC? (We got set revision questions from the textbook)
Also, if I get something like 70%, is there any way to redeem myself and get a respectable study score? (38+)
Thanks. :(

Just completed SAC1, After doing every single question from the textbook (easily), I went into the SAC completely lost and out of time.yeh u can still get 38+ for sure...the first sac and getting a low mark really worried you a lot (this happeended to me XD) but for the physcis SAC i'm doing on friday and well its stuff related to our motion prac . so our written up pracs have like the theory in it already so we already have all the formulas and stuff and explainations...

Your SACs will get scaled depending on your mid-year exam mark, I think, so as long as you're ranked alright in an alright cohort it should be fine. (:

We didn't do any pracs.... =[
Hopefully I do better on the exam!

similar thing happened at my school. so how much will this effect study scores?

It SHOULDN'T have much of an impact on your study scores if you do well in the exam -- it could just be that your teacher sets insanely hard SACs... some do that. My methods teacher did that last year. To be honest, though, SACs are just a ranking, and it's only the first one, so I wouldn't worry too much if you haven't done well in it.

We just had to spin a rubber stopper round our heads, crunch some numbers, and write a report.

If your trying to work out the relationship between force and frequency maybe this'll help you:
From my graphs though I ended up with something like

Yeah our results were way off, so I spent nearly the whole report justifying why our results were wrong.
If your trying to work out the relationship between force and frequency maybe this'll help you:and
(since
)
where the mass and the radius are kept constant, and you can also weigh your mass, measure the radius, then plug in the values to see if your results are correct :)
From my graphs though I ended up with something like
we proved f=mv^2 /r :P
our radius one didnt work tho :(
thank you for all that info tho :)

What do your teachers give you when preparing for a SAC? (We got set revision questions from the textbook)
For Spesh, the teacher refused to give us practice papers

I did revision from Checkpoints + Practice Sacs I found here

Only 86% =/70something and i did hardcore studying and studyguide for a week >( u did good! :3

Post by: iillnc on April 13, 2010, 08:06:13 pm
We (class) were only ever made to do checkpoints (not even textbook q's) and teacher put 1/2 questions from it so yeah. Depends on what your school does and how hard it was etc

Did it alter all of your formulas? If not that is hefty marks to lose for a little typo..
It may be some little typo, but it caused me to have force values of around 0.1-2.5N when they were meant to be 1000N+
Post by: m@tty on April 13, 2010, 09:41:52 pm
That's huge discrepancy! Damn. Did those errors pervade your other findings?
Post by: kyzoo on April 13, 2010, 09:47:41 pm
Yeah, that's why I asked if it altered your formula's first :P

Of course ^^, graph shapes were all mucked up lolz

force=impulse * time, remember using that awesome formula in last years unit 2 exam :P
LOL I don't remember it like that, I remember it as Fxchange in time= impulse, then just transpose when I need to ;D

Awesome ha? I'll remember to put it on my cheat sheet :P
