    That was pretty easy. Answered everything but guessed a few. Overall quite happy. I'd say I got a B

    I left at 10.15 Hadnt a clue..guessed a lot..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    What a brilliant test.!:D..
    I got most of it right i think except for that bit in the chemsitry section on "carbon 12 & 13 are _____ of carbon"
    Any ideas?
    Overall I'm Pleased.. a test I finally came out of feeling very confident.!
    Religion on the otherhand just ruined the day..

    thought it was fine .. i think i guessed a few .. or a lot of formulas towards the end .. most went well .. didnt no wat the line was either.. couldn remember .. and algar?:? ... overall t was fine .. reli want an A !!! :D

    I said isotopes... That might not be right though :pac:

    I said isotopes and I'm sure that's right

    Yep, that's right. Isotopes. :D

    I thought overall it was very easy. I didn't even study bloody habitats! WTH is a line transect anyway?

    Chemistry was eeasy peasy! Got all of it!

    Physics wasn't actually that bad! I thought I was screwed for it! The only part I didn't get was the LDR experiment. I just drew a made-up circuit for a diagram.

    Overall, really pleased. :D:D

    ah s**t.! how didn't I get that.!
    I've been belting that definition of isotopes into my head for the last few weeks.!!!! i said atoms :p

    Its a long tape-like thing that shows the changes of species as you move up a gradient of land.! thank god we used one in the seashore habitat my class went to visit or i wouldn't have known otherwise.!

    Haha, cheers. That's not what I put. I said it was square thing that you stick in a bush or tree or something and insects get trapped in it. :D

    i forgot the name for a pooter so i called it a suck-jar :3


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 177 ✭✭Dub973


    What was the organ in biology. I said the liver as it looked like one,people are saying it's the stomach?

    Haha! I just burst out laughing when I read that!

    I was sitting there of like 5 minutes trying to think of the name, and I went through the alphabet. I was like ''Booter, Cooter, Dooter, Footer...Pooter! Yes! Got it!

    that was a kidney

    Oh sh*t sorry!..
    i said the kidney too.:pac:
    wasn't thinking when i typed liver.. :p

    Yup, it was a kidney :)
    I thought it was ok, don't know what to think really.
    Biology was fine but not sure about the other two, I think I passed though.

    Agar is like this substance in a Petri dish that attracts micro-organisms. It's like a food for them.

    my friend said it was a petal
    even though it said name this organ xD


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    I am obviously very stupid :pac:
    I thought it was a carpel. Like, in a plant.
    I said it was for reproduction and all... :P
    Someone's gonna get a right laugh out of that.

    I'm not the only one who thought it was a plant :rolleyes: I feel better now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    OH BTW WHAT WAS THE FIRST QUESTION?
    Q.name 2 processes that leaves of green plants carry out?
    i said photosynthesis, not sure bou the other one..
    Guessed it..

    I said photosynthesis and Transpiration

    I thought that too but then it said "2" so I said absorbs carbon dioxide and makes chlorophyll :confused: I'm not sure though


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 48 mantom

    Me too. :)

    Did anyone get the experiment for the Physics? I didn't have a clue..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,992 ✭✭✭✭partyatmygaff


    I called the pooter a sucker
    :)

    What the hell was that organ in biology. We were all guessing whether it was a kidney or a lung.

    Was it the kidney? I said it was a germinating seed because it had little petals in it...why would they put little petals in it if it wasn't to do with a plant? And the fact that they said organ doesn't really make a difference because the seed is an organ of a plant...Like the flower is the sexual organ...:confused:

    It does like abit like a seed. I think that question was ridiculous. There was no obvious sign to tell what it was.

    ... Have you guys ever seen a kidney before? This is just surreal...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 90 ✭✭claudtreacy


    What was the energy conversions of the drill in physics?
    I said
    1. Potential---Kinetic
    2. Chemical--Electrical

    Prob completely wrong yes?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 90 ✭✭claudtreacy

    Why what's the answer!

    Edit: AHAHAHAHHA omg it was a kidney
    oh i hope the examiner get's a good laugh out of my answer


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    I said photosynthesis and Transpiration
    exactly what I said..
    is it right?

    I said

    I found it difficult to find a second energy conversion, so I said it was

    Electrical --- Magnetic
    Magnetic --- Kinetic

    I didn't say chemical - Electrical because the actual process for making the electricity wasn't included in the picture, but they may allow for that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,298 ✭✭✭Namlub


    Science exam made me insanely happy, they never asked about the eye or labelling plants and all that, which I am terrible at so it was great times. Even physics was alright! *smug*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36 adidas speed


    why did u say magnetic for the drill???


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    said potential to kinetic
    and electrical to kinetic...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 316 ✭✭Halla Basin


    It's kind of nitpicking, but electricity converts to magnetic energy for a brief time before it actually engages the drill, loik.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,553 ✭✭✭soccymonster


    i said electrical => kinetic
    electrical => heat (just a guess!)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    Was kinda funny how they were like "two useful conversions." What would they consider useful? :pac:

    exact same as me :O

    in fairness i though that was a tough enough paper ... not sure if i got an A
    i got an A in the mocks though :S

    Smart-ass. Something that helps the drill do what drills are sposeda do.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    but still o.0 what not useful conversions could there be in a drill?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 316 ✭✭Halla Basin


    friction - heat for example

    Maybe something that makes the spinner spin??:confused:..
    Beats me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 70 ✭✭squishness


    ahhh I suppose. Ah well :o My bad.

    what's the test for hydrogen? :|
    I said a glowing splint would pop. Was told glowing wasn't the same as lit, and it was meant to be lit? :confused: ack


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,962 ✭✭✭jumpguy


    How does one confirmthe presence of hard water? I put down the soap flakes test. But that only checks one sample of water's hardness to another.
