The CIE thread 2010 (Results Day: 12 August)

I had 41

Most people said it was OK, but I thought it was fairly easy

Section B was totally free marks

Heard 42 was killer though, as you say fyodor

I have no idea which Chem P4 I had but I found it quite easy, except for the first question on AS material which I totally forgot.

I probably had 41 then because I also think section B was free marks, especially since I do Bio as well. Was 41 where you had to name parts of the DNA molecule from a drawing in section B?

I loved the NMR question and none of the outrageous orgo stuff that I was afraid of came up.

Both of my classmates found it terrible though so there's hope for a low threshold =)

Yup. You certainly did 41. 42 was hard from the very first question! You had to calculate the order of a reaction (I calculated it easily w.r.t one reactant...but I ended up using ln for the second reactant! WTF I know lol). Then you had to describe the mechanism (never seen that reaction before) and then describe an experiment to determine the rate of reaction. Geez.

but those who did 41 are more likely to increase the grade threshold as more obviously did well

Each variant has a separate threshold...

The wait is only two weeks now! I'm confused of what to do or think.
Physics was slaughter! I wish I hadn't taken it!

Only one week left, everyone =)

We weren't even given any login details.

why?


I got them a few days back.

I don't know...I got to this crappy school in Pakistan. It's supposed to be one of the best school in the country. Bah. The pin up a list of all the students and their grades on a bulletin board. That's what happens everywhere.

Sad thing is I just moved to another city...so I am going to have to call them up (which is a MAJOR pain in the butt! lol) or ask a friend. lol

I am so worried about Maths and Chemistry. I just hope I don't get a grade lower than a B!

guyz tell me something abt my previous reply abt the missing subjectss!!!

its only showing half the subjects tht i gave
