    OCR PE GCE AS level 31st May 2012
    PE PAPER:
    I found it rather different to the usual questions, to start with there was no movement analysis table as the 1st question and the 10 markers weren't critically evaluate.

    your thoughts...?

    I found it ok, wasnt too bad, one weird question but the rest was pretty good.

    Although i did write about operant learning instead of observational, which was stupid, as that means ive losst 10 marks already.

    But all in all was a nice paper Except for my stupidness -.-

    Hey there, for Venous Return I mentioned starlings law(increased VR=+CO) and went a bit of key on the conduction system.
    Functions:Fatigue Resistant, Low Power Output and Endurance work with oxygen(didn't know)
    Amateurism-19th Century Public Schools, Thomas Arnold, becoming more probecause of pressure on Olympics and Mass Participation.
    Australian Sport-Young Nation, Fashionable/SocialNorm, Favourale Climate/Beach Culture, Anzac Spirit.
    Smoking negative health effects e.g. teeth and performance cabon monoxide, oxygen dissociation, respiratory muscles and diffusion gradients.


    Thats just what I briefly put not saying it's right or anything, really want to know what I've got. Thought 10 mark question on Observational Learning was quite tough despite knowning the 4 aspects of it.

    How did you get on in your praticaland and analysis of performance. Got a decent pratical grade and about level 3 response in AOP at AS. But managed to get High Level 2 in both for A2 it seems to get easier over time, I personally feel the A2 exam looks easier than AS. Your right the schemes are too speceifc sometimes they put down mark first answer which is stupid you may have made a mistake due to nerves they are supposed to be examing knowledge.
