Insight/Lisachem/NEAP?

Insight is a bit dodgy in parts (poorly worded questions, etc), Lisachem is a bit too easy and NEAP is right on the money I reckon. TSFX, TSSM and Itute can all be pretty hard but a lot of the time it's because they ask stuff that's not exactly on the course.

CHEMOLOGY 2011 IS HARD!!

Besides the last page of the Electronics section and the Structures and Materials section where you actually had to know the Young's Modulus of steel off the top of your head, it was a pretty good paper.

Especially the motion question on two cars hitting each other at right angles. That was a pretty interesting question.

Only one-dimensional conservation of momentum questions on course

Post by: ttn on June 13, 2011, 08:41:41 pm: Just did the chemology 2011, got 88%. Got the whole banked curve qn wrong...
The rest of the paper was pretty decent.

I assume the answers for the planet questions are wrong right? I got 0.28N/kg.
They also had a dodgy qn in further electronics where they treated power as a peak value when it should be rms.

Post by: ttn on June 13, 2011, 08:59:54 pm: I just looked back at the solutions for the banked curve. They did their calculations wrong didn't they?

And if I used the 25 degrees like in the diagram instead of the 20 they used in solutions.
Should get 6000N and 26.7 m/s ?
