i hate how my school didn't cover dynamics in semester 1, or i would have been able to do that 1 question about connected objects in U3.. not that i like to bring that up again.

but physics is way easier than spesh

Seriously kyzoo? Physics has been my easiest subject all year, it's just plugging numbers into formulas and understanding 3 or 4 concepts. There's nowhere near as much interpretation of the question and recognizing which technique to use as there is in spesh.

X.x spesh has been my easiest subject all year, Physics and English have given me the biggset headaches

Where did you hear that kyzoo?

Assessor;'s report lol

Ah, the assessor's report for the 2010 midyear says: "six students received the maximum score of 90."


EDIT: Oh, you were talking about last years unit 4.. 31 full-marked that..

What I think was more worrying was the 107 who aced last years unit 3 exam. :o

Just did last year's unit 4 exam, I can see why so many people got full marks on that one too.

Haha I forget 08, did it ages ago. I saved 09 for today but didn't get round to physics until just now. It was really straightforward after tackling iTute and TSFX the last few days.

idk why you find physics so hard, maybe I'm just strange, I use physics exams as procrastination for when I'm putting off an exam that'll take me 1 hour+, physics exams take like 30 minutes....

Last years' students were very smart. Look at how many people got full marks for exam 1 alone! :P
