    I wouldn't do that, I'm happy how I've done so far and I don't want that feeling too change :pac:

    I dunno. My estimates have me pretty pleased so far. Even the conservative ones. Then again I only need a small amount of points.

    3 *important* questions to french students!!

    1 - Do you have to do the 90 word Q1???? I ask as Essential French Cork tweeted ''2 opinion pieces and a diary or 90 word narrative to maximize points'' ...... I thought the 90 word Q1 was obligatory?

    The narrative is like the story - as opposed to the opinion option.

    Someone in my English class claims to have written 'Sorry for all the bull****' note at the end of his paper 1 :pac:

    Hopeless quest, methinks! :pac:

    So how easy do they give attempt marks in the actually LC for O maths? Like for example, for the simultanious equations question I done the whole thing EXACTLY as how it was suppose to go except I made a small mistake along the way and ended up getting a very off answer, would I lose many marks? or only a few?

    Very few would be my guess.

    It's far more about knowing how to do it / having the right method. And they only penalise a mistake once, not again and again because it has a knock-on effect on the value for the next line and the next, if you understand what I mean.

    Onethreefive posted the question there a whole back I think.

    You can't bisect a triangle as far as I know...

    Take an equilateral triangle, drop a perpendicular from one apex to the opposite side, triangle is split into two congruent triangles :D

    Feel like an Ethiopian in times of severe famine. Diet has been atrocious because of these exams. Any sign of muscle mass is well and truly gone.

    Close to none. You can get an A1 in maths without getting one completely correct answer

    ..... Why, worthy thane,
    You do unbend your noble strength to think
    So brainsickly of things. Go get some water,
    And wash this filthy witness from your hand.

    For a second I thought you said I would be awarded very few marks and my heart split in two :p
