    Well, I've just had a bloody eventful 15 minutes :|

    (Original post by multiplexing-gamer)
    Finished 2 hours now. B3 next! I think I'll do that at about 2 till 3
    You don't have to do four hours, you can keep your virtual money come on here instead and keep me company

    Cool , did you check the answers ? Linear programming hmm do you mean like graph inequalities, finding vectors ect?


    I presume june exams are going to be hard now they always are harder than January
    Yes, I always mark past papers after completing them
    No actually, I hate linear programming and inequalities. I much prefere algebra, calculus and trig. It's just that I'm pretty good with all those now, and I left linear programming till last

    Are you sitting B/C/P2 in June?

    Anybody play Skyrim? I've never played, and just though I'd have a go for a bit. What Race should I choose to be? My brother is telling me to be a Dark Elf. :curious:

    Thanks, I hope that a question like this comes up.

    People at my school always get tripped up on not adding 0.8 and 1.2 for the 200N weight, and also forget to minus the 0.3m for x.

    The grade boundaries will surely decrease if this comes up.

    I played skyrim for a little bit but then sold it back. I think I was a nord or something?

    People just make stupid mistakes lol.

    Usually moment questions are a lot easier than that, but that one I liked

    Grade boundaries for physics are quite low anyway to be fair. And I don't have a clue what to be lmao. How come you sold it back?

    Well I emailed them and the undergrad Engineering officer replied that my A-Levels are OK but to stand a good chance I need F.Maths, Chemistry, Electronics or Design. Also, its 'general' engineering so I might have to do the Chemistry side, and I find GCSE hard enough as it is. Ilike the look of Warwick

    I just couldn't get into it, although I'm sure that it is a great game. I'm more into zelda and final fantasy.

    A lot of science is horribly boring but there are some interesting parts I love emulsifiers because I find the ends of the emulsifier to act very strangely and amusingly but emulsifiers didn't come up in my C1 exam in January.
