Exam Discussion

wouldve lost marks for that log question then.
i said bloody 400 N for tension
and for the rope breaking one i found a =4ms^2.
 
fml.;9
hope to god those answers r wrong ...

im pretty sure theyre right becoz me and a bunch of friends got the same answer.. sorry buddy lol
if it makes u feel any better i did a stupid mistake by explaining horizontal force instead of vertical for the ball question and screwed the diode question completely.

[BlameJuice]

For the draw a circuit did you get 2000 ohms resistor and the V out on the Light dependant thingi since its resistance increases with decreasing light intensity?

I set it up how you said, but with a 1000 ohm resistor. I probably made a stupid mistake, not confident at all right now.

Yeah I got 2000 ohms for that.

so did i 2000 ohms ftw

Checked the itute answers and i got at least ~86/90. Thats the marks I was getting for trials so Im happy with that. does anyone have an idea of the A+ cutoffthis year?

"Q1 tent: pole in compression 212N, B"

Was that B? I seem to recall having a for my first two answers. I better not have put down the wrong one... Maybe I should stop looking into things and making myself worry. I've already been cut down enough to not be shocked if I don't get an A+ and be happy if I get an A.

When can we find out our results from this exam? I didn't fast track anything last year, but still seem to recall people getting results before the end the the year?

will they put answers up for special relativity on itute? cause for some reason our school chose that detailed study........

[fisa2001]

Got 11 questions wrong in both motion and electricity.... I've done every practice exam there possibly is, finished checkpoints and in return I get 17 out of 28? I've been averaging mediums in all my SACs so I needed this.... Sigh....

Anyone have an idea of what the cutoff for A+ would be like this year?

[Tonychet2]

im geussing 8 - 9 marks...

[billyjackson768]

How do people remember what they got on everything? I'd need to at least read the exam again to remember.

Answer A was the same thing but instead of compression they had "tension" which was wrong

So lucky with my materials and structures. Had three guesses and all of them were right.

Yeah I remember that and defiantly would of though compression. But still seem to remember seeing A and A for my first two answers and remembering how someone else in my class said they get paranoid when they start seeing A as the answer for a lot of things because according to them there's a lower chance of A being the correct answer when randomly picking 1.

Ahhh dumbest mistake. I set the Vout at 2.5V and ended up with a resistor variable of 9000ohms. I can't believe I didn't even pick that up. xD

But that's the only thing I seem to have got wrong...

Curious though, people who do get a 50 in this subject, do they get 100% on both exams or is it possible to still get that score if you lost a mark on each?

what was questoin 5b? i dont remember getting a 700N for an answer???!

Well apparently according to the lecturer at a Physics lecture I went to before this. No one got 100% on the 2011 mid year exam. So I'd imagine it is very possible.

For Physics? You can drop more than 1. Got 86/90 in midyear, ended up with a 50 (and a friend got 88.5 and 88 and got 50).
