Statistics will be my only downfall. I despise statistics, not so much the maths side of it, but the bloody english side of it
Still it's handy enough but impossible to get full marks in for me.
My feelings exactly. Can't stand statistics - I went off it as soon as our teacher mentioned the word 'definitions'.0 -
LC not going so well. Learned off around 10 answers for each geography section, only got to use 1-2, misanswered another and bluffed the rest. Biome I knew characteristics, climate influence, and adaptations...the ONE I did NOT know decides to come up -_-. Never looked at the question in my life, bluffed 2 pages basically talking SW USA. Really annoyed.
Maths was mixed. Alot of easy parts, but didn't get a good few part ii's etc, and didn't get any of 8 C) would love a B3! 2 parts I was really annoyed about, the 'form a cubic equation that has roots 1 less than the one given' question, I took away 1 from each root and just couldn't see how to form cubic from it :pac: and the first principle!! I learned 1/x , sinx and cosx as grind teacher said don't bother with root x! Will I get a few marks for goin down the steps, didnt get it out though? 0 -

My degree is technically a science degree and involves algebra. I hope to god it's more like Junior Cert algebra than Leaving Cert algebra! :P Might just stick to languages...

All my courses involve maths. Apart from my firm choice .
As it's a computer business course and I asked the lecturer guy what kind of maths he said calculus . It's only first year though I hope it's not really difficult maths.0 -

How did everyone get on?
Geography was revolting. I was close to tears seriously. By far the worst exam I've seen in my life. Disgusted.
Stop Geography was actually sh*t. I go into the exam knowing about 35 bloody essays and I only get to use 4. I had to make up my own regional answers and the none of my geoecology questions bar one that I had skimmed through last night! The mock was a piece of cake in comparison.
I still think despite all this I might just about manage the A1. I mean despite not having anything on regional I was able to think up answers on the spot. The geoecology answer I wrote was 4 pages long too. And considering everyone else did sh*t I think I'll be marked easier, hopefully
Oh btw, y'know the distribution of population question? Is that similar to urban expansion?0 -
Realizing I got part a's wrong in maths because I didnt change signs when I carried them over the equals. I feel like vomiting.
I think I did that at one point but then I realised what I'd done. I've no idea how I got that slope one wrong though. My x values just cancelled for dy/dx so it went to 0. 0 -

Maths was okay. I was so sad that I couldnt manage Q4! But Q7 was amazing :pac:
I thought it went alright suprisingly. I answered Q2 that went okay, luckily I looked at the levees in the morning thinking I should look at this just incase deposition comes up and it did. I didn't remember a lot of what to say to explain it but I remembered the diagrams . The river rhine part I think I did okay but I know it was a little waffley. I answered the Q6 in regional I hadn't a clue how to answer the others and q6 had a graph and I just guessed the answers. The gda I randomly though of something I wasn't sure what to write for the gda but I managed a page and a half. The cultural I think I spoke about everything on the list. The human elective that was my worst question I dont know if I drew the graph right either. The option section was okay although I kept mixing up the titles.
what questions did you do?What was so wrong with Geography?
A lot of people were complaining in my school too so more controversy?
If everybody does bad you won't do as badly as you think!
Most people in my school thought it went ok or the few I asked :S. I think it depended on what you'd studied on what you though would come up. I thought it went ok my last years 2011 I found much harder I only barely passed it.0 -
Almost fecked up on several part a)s and b)s but then I went back and realized.
Did most people leave out q 5? Cause my dad looked at it and said it's one of the easiest questions he's ever seen for a q.5. Same remark for the differentiation too
Starting Bio study in a while.0 -

I did it, it was really time-consuming but that's just 'cause of the method I used for b part 1 and 2. Couldn't do c though, it was harder that the usual induction. :cool: And I probably did part a wrong too, I'm not very good with logs. :pac:0 -

Is it not a blunder?That's a slip I think, you'll only lose a mark
I also got index laws wrong omg. I kinda needed Q5 after how bad Q4 went. But I think I might somehow have gotten 50/50 in Q7 :O I need it
I used like 3 out of 40...so horrified. -_- My atmosphere-ocean was so bad. So, so bad, it was an actual joke, I'd never seen the stuff in my life. SickenedStop Geography was actually sh*t.

It isnt no - its about the west/east and why people move to the east instead I think. We never covered it...
That came up in Italy last year though? We hadnt covered it anyway :SMysteriouschic wrote: »In geography what was the question that was about the population distribution that came up in regional?
I looked at the question and was like wtf I've never seen this in regional before? I didn't do that question , I didn't even know we had to know about that in regional0 -

Gah in regional, anyone do the question with the part C about continental/sub-continental under 2 headings out of the ones they gave you? Language and religion was there, I picked language and just did the culture answer I learned (Indians, Hispanics, Asians) This wrong? 0
