Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)That's a lot(Original post by stephhyy)
WOW. 15 GCSE's that's a lot mate. I take:
Maths
English Language
English Literature
GCSE PE
Expressive Arts - Dance and Drama
History
French
Chemistry
Biology
Physics
ICT
That's only 11 GCSE's
The most you can do in my school is 11 (if you stay after school) and most people do 9 (or 7 and two BTECs). I do:
English Language
English Literature
Maths
Add Maths
Core Science
Additional Science
Geography
History
Spanish
RE
Drama
BTEC PE
You can't really do much at my school. You can't do triple science, performing arts, photography, business, things that everyone else seems to have a chance at

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)I feel like i have failed my physics exam today as on the question about the skydiver i wrote about air resistance and weight thinking it was about a freefall parachutist :s when i was meant to write about gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy.
I've only got hope if the grade boundaries are similar to the exam done in January which was about 44/75 for an A* but dont personally think it will be that low as the exam wasn't very hard.
I just made stupid mistakes ):Last edited by Mahii; 30-05-2012 at 19:47. -

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)I'm worried about English at the moment. The teacher has been in 3 lessons since easter, out of a possible 20. We've just had loads of supplies since then who don't know what we're supposed to be doing, and it's starting to get on my nerves.
English is my weakest subject as it is, I don't need this. -

Only six modules I got 30 but being a mathematician(Original post by MangoFreak)
30m/s, or something. I think that was the only question I couldn't figure out, I think
I feel like GCSE Physics is so less in depth than Chemistry and Biology; in Chemistry we learn quite a bit, yet in Physics we can learn an entire lessons worth of content with a few sentences on the board
Is there a 7th module for Gateway, or only 6?
I used SUVAT! I used this formula:
S = (U+V)/2 x T
Where s is displacement or distance (75m)
U is initial.speed (what we were finding)
V is final.speed (0m/s)
T for time
So
75 = (U+0)/2 x 5
15 = (U+0)/2
30 = U + 0
U = 30 m/s -

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)Oh, so out of the hundreds of science-related degrees available, over 50% of science students choose to apply for medicine or have had at some point aspiration to become a doctor(Original post by jennifer.tariah)
no because most people who do sciences and maths aspire to be a doctor.
My mistake

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)You're not allowed to discuss today's exam papers. You'll have to wait 24 hours (i think) before discussing it.(Original post by Mahii)
On the physics exam today the question about why terminal speed was reached?- what did everyone write.
Kind regards
