when you integrate or differentiate, can you do so without showing any working out, but getting the right answer? would that get you full marks?

how is that even possible lol :P

and no you would need working out otherwise you dont get any marks

Nice...I take it maths isn't your best subject? Biology is my worst subject :tongue:

Biology I'm 5 ums off a B, but I'm pretty certain I've got my B in it (because of the unit 1 paper we just did !). I'm doing Unit 5 again to see if I can scrape an A overall. Highly doubt it, I would need like 126/140 for that to happen (which is hard :sad:

)

I do chemistry as well, need 15 ums for my A overall. I messed up unit 2 back in summer 2011, got 90/120 in it, and I know with the knowledge I've gained now that I can defo get my A.

Apart from that really, I just gotta get AAB and I'm into Reading (for pharmacy :biggrin:

)

How about you? What uni/course did you apply for?

:tongue:

The funny thing is, maths is my best subject, I just suck at exams! I got ABBB last summer in my EPQ (which is now classed as an a level yay) biology chemistry and maths.I was awful at chemistry so I focused on that and it brought the grades for my other subjects down.
I'm retaking biol1 and biol5 because I've got 2 Cs in those modules and AAA*A* in the others which is kinda weird.
And I'm retaking c1 c2 and c4 for maths. But I need 32 more UMS out of a possible 77 from those 3 modules, so it's do-able.
I need ABB to go to Sheffield for Biomedical science.

I work as a pharmacist in Alder Hey children's hospital in Liverpool and I love it!

I volunteer but I don't dispense, I usually work on the wards with the pharmacist, it's so interesting and I love working with the kids. I learn so much there and it helps my biology.

Sorry I meant past papers, I've been putting it off since I had S2 to do which was my weaker module. Also should I do Edexcel or Solomon?

I had some work experience (not permanent volunteering) but only for four weeks at my community pharmacy. It was really good actually, got talking to loads of customers, just getting used to selling items and till work. I even sold some over the counter medication on my own which was fine by the Pharmacist (who owns the shop). If the customer didn't want a specific medication like Nurofen, then I would have to speak to the Pharmacist first.

I also did a week at a hospital in South London, got to go on the wards with the chief pharmacist and got to dispense medication in the dispensary area. I even got a chance to see the technical services area (where they make all the drip solutions for the patients. It's a highly sterile place!

You don't need a degree to become a dispenser, but you need a degree to become a fully qualified Pharmacist :yep:

With Differentiation, when we solve for x and sub back into original equation how do you we know whether it is the maximum or minimum value? Do we just just know that if we find X to be greater than zero we know that it is minimum?

1. work out the second derivative (d^2y/dx^2)
2. sub in your value of x
3. if it's positive its a minimum, if it's negative its a maximum

thats all the justification needed if they ask
