In the short question did anyone else say they were intersecting lines?

Think just about everyone in my school got it finished, out of about 30 odd students only one didn't (that I know of) but the timing is tight.

Are any of those expecting A1 from the exam.i think to get a A you need 15 mins more maybe it just me

Yup, people are aiming for the A1, I'm aiming for a decent grade, if not the A then a high B1, all going to plan.

I've never had a real issue with timing, even in the mocks, but that's just me, personally. Think it really depends on what options people do too, some are much more time consuming At the end of the day though it's down to people's personal drawing speed, how people think, reactions under pressure and time management, everybody's different

(also, I'm freakishly compulsive about timing, in every exam, which does help )

What dihedral angles did ye get for B-1 and C-3 ?
And does anyone know how the marks will be split for C-4 between part a and b?

That exam was the easiest dcg exam i have done EVER!! no lies.. finished with a good twenty mins left.. b2 b3 c1 c3

Lads has to be said B-1 was the easiest question I've ever done and i got every other question fully out(A-1,3,4, B-1, B-2, C-1, C-3)! Was pure shocker!

Didn't even look at that Q, have always been slow at those so didn't bother with it! Ye I did 2 dihedral angles in it...they were pure spoiling us sure

I was 44.5 but guessed they had made it 45mm!

I'd say they'd prob have a tiny bit of leeway, say 43mm-46mm (or whatever) but sure, it's close enough anyways

What you think of section A?? i used loci for solids in contact, was there another way.. will I get marks? interpenetrations clicked with 5 mins left.. the cut was a triangle in plan ya? and the first q was the smallest sphere touching all 4 corners in the end view??

Leaving Cert Student

Q4 section A was lovely.I think... the true length was easy and they were skew lines I am sure... didnt explicitally state my reasoning but I extended them to meet and their points of intersection didn't meet directly above/below one another so I went with that!

Sounds like what I did, though I possibly made a bit of a mess of q3 (a) but got the other 3, or at least think I did. They looked right any ways :P

Was q3a just to.add the radius in plan and find the centre of another circle?

I had it touching all 4 corners in the end view, you?

I did the same, I got bored of the question and just decided i'd **** a circle touching all the corners on to it hoping for marks, did you check if it worked in any other views? i.e. those dimensions covering in other views?

In the other views it was outside the extreme edges which seemed right... felt like it was too simple to do what I did
Though but that is what all my friends did too!

What I think may have been the answer is if you were looking at 3 of the sides and you have the apex at the middle of the drawing and then a circle around that. The apex would have been the centre of that, but there wasn't really enough space to draw that.

****ed up bad on Assemblies, barely got it half done :P

Short questions were fairly hard, hoping for maybe 75% there if I'm lucky? The rest were grand, easy even.
