K guys next time I'm online the worst will be over and I'll be half way done!

Peregrine

Good luck

Aspiring

Good luck to all doing geography in the morning, just remember your limestone pavements and grikes and you'll be grand

Anybody had to ask for more paper yet? Don't think I'll get a chance until business, and that'll be my only chance. So close today :pac:

Anyone with human elective in geo, what has the higher chance: land use zones in city or functions of urban centre on photograph or should I just know both?

Maybe Applied Maths :P

I need 2-3 pages per question.

6x3 = 18

I think it has 20 pages.

Hmmmm

Could someone not get one while the Geography exam is on? Surely someone could lend you one?

It's like a normal sharp but it has a few extra features on it and it says in the book that I can't use a calculator with those features on it

Tip: write down the normal sharp model. Doubt anybody will check, we won't tell.

Yeah actually nim for applied maths i tend to take up pages and pages trying to find a way to the answer, so I might need more paper :pac:

Peregrine

When you say extra features, what exactly do you mean? It's not obvious like a graphing calculator or anything, is it?

There's plenty of time to get yourself a good aul Casio fx83GT Plus

Usually, I try to do the a part on one page and b on one or two pages.

Any more than that and it just gets confusing when looking back.

But I don't care, I'll draw lots of diagrams and leave lots of spaces. I'm not leaving the education system until I get to be that person that asks for extra paper 90 mins into an exam

Plenty - almost three times as many do OL as do HL.

It's the calculus on paper 1 OL that is going to screw many over.

hahaha, I do the messiest workings ever, I literally use about 6 pages to do a sole trader. 2 pages of workings for a suspense as well. Most of its blank though, I just skip loads of lines so I can write it out again when I make a mistake!

LoveLamps

Uhhhh the thought of accounting!!
I neeeeed a B, aiming for an A and IF nice questions come up that should be no prob really(once youve practiced accounting you cant go wrong)
Really hope suspense/service/club come up so i dont have to do Q5 drives me mad!!! And its so easy to only get like 70/100 in

sammydev

Peregrine

I really like ratios though! I write like a fair amount for them, about 2-3 pages. But yeah, if a service and suspense came up id do them! Got 87 in my mock on ratios, purely because I did one of the ratios wrong hahaha!

My short questions brought me down soo bad, i hadnt revised them and the corrector actually wrote 'you shouldnt be doing this quwstion' on my debtors control!

Did the 2013 maths p1 last night and it was soooo easy. Did the 2012 one this morning and it was a good bit harder! Grr reaaallly hope this year is like 2013, need to do well in maths (im ol btw)
