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?

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).

Awesome! That's good to know. I'll just have to work hard for the Unit 4 exam and hope all goes well then!

I'm pretty sure I got that. I did

T = ma + Fr
T = 600*0.5 + 400
T= 300 + 400
T= 700

At least I'm pretty sure that's how it's solved?

Yeah but three years ago losing more than 1 meant no 50 :P Last year was just harder and apparently this one was easier than last year's

Yeah but three years ago was the 2009 exam! Wasn't that the easier exam ever? I'm pretty sure this year's was harder and that. A lot of people may be losing marks on the explanation questions. :/

how does everyone remember how many marks each question was worth?
