Re: What was YOUR paper of death in the Summer 2012 exam season?I know the question you're referring to, it was a standard question but in an unusual context so I can see people losing marks on it.(Original post by Where'sPerry?)
The question I mean is the one with the ball sinking into the ground; I remember speaking to people afterwards and thinking that I had got the right method, so fingers crossed. Can't remember now what I did or even exactly what the question asked but I remember its style being unusual. On the whole though I definitely agree with you, I personally don't think we could have been given a nicer paper! I was dreading this exam so much but felt so relieved when I had a flick through the paper and saw that the questions mostly played to my strengths. Good luck with your result in it

Chem 5 for me. Im Hoping for low grade boundaries.
**** AQA, **** the examiner who wrote that paper and most of all, **** chem5.
No missing Jummah now lol. But seriously, let's hope the boundaries are low.
I know of 30 marks i lost, and i suspect, going my June11 boundaries, i can afford to lose 6 more marks. -
Re: What was YOUR paper of death in the Summer 2012 exam season?Seems like Edexcel generally ****ed up on everything this summer! (I did the Biology exams too - nightmare)(Original post by CJRyan)
Mechanics 2 and Core 4, both Edexcel, both a disaster
And Unit 5 Biology Edexcel was a bit messed up as well, very little actual biology

Re: What was YOUR paper of death in the Summer 2012 exam season?Same it was an absolute bitch :'((Original post by AvaM)
IGCSE Edexcel Chemistry. Usually my best subject and i found the exam had so many questions completely unrelated to the syllabus. And i have to get at A to get into my sixth form.
Hopefully...

Edexcel As Geography geographical investigations was the worst paper i've ever sat. The first 10 marker was on something not even in the syllabus- the source they put with it had been changed from the one you see in the textbook so i didnt even recognise what it was!! By the sounds of it edexcel have messed up on a few papers this year, fingers crossed for low boundaries!!

MEI FP2 and M3
Couldn't finish either and messed up on FP2 by forgetting that x = rcos theta, and writing that x = rsin theta.
All will be alright if I get more than 30 UMS in FP2 and 50 in M3, as I can swap the M3 for S1 from my A level maths units -

Someone else may have already said this...
OCR (Not MEI) D1. Hardest AS exam I sat by a country mile. Shame the stupid module and paper is/was hard for all the wrong reasons. I and others were expecting a hard paper, but this was ridiculous even for decision maths standards.
Kill those who created such a useless monstrosity I say, burn them. -
Re: What was YOUR paper of death in the Summer 2012 exam season?Weird questions throughout, disliked that last question, and time was more of an issue than other years(Original post by Halogenation)

Oh, where do I begin?
OCR Spanish Listening = AWFUL. I'm usually confident with Spanish, but that paper completely threw me off. I could barely understand what they were blathering about and the questions were awkwardly stupid; the last few questions about some guy's air-conditioning system business???
AQA Environmental Science was difficult as well, but probably because I didn't revise that much.
And Unit 5 Biology Edexcel was a bit messed up as well, very little actual biology
Hopefully...
