Anybody else sitting it tomorrow?

Goodluck to you all =]

[Nayberay]

Yup me edexcel full course
1 hour 45 mins
Looking forward to it

Good luck to you to

[ZhongGuo]

Yep, same.. Edexcel. Shouldn't be a problem, PE's a dossers subject anyway!! :P

[Nayberay]

Lol its pretty straightforward..I bet you something about the heart will come up..

[ZhongGuo]

Yep most probably, it did come up last year though..

Personally I'd say the hardest topics are...

Heart
Bones - (classification, etc)
Ranges of movement available at joints + joint types..

And even then, they're not too hard.. You can even slightly enjoy pe exams! Haha!

[Nayberay]

Lol I agree..this should be one of my easiest exams...good luck for tom

[[m a a r i.]]

haha i heard that theres a lot of 1 point questions

[Xtian]

I'm doing it too. It should go well. The only thing I find confusing is knowing which muscles allow what movement at what joint (abduction, adduction, etc).

[Nayberay]

^Same

I'm doing OCR & I don't think there's that many 1 mark questions on that. Not sure though. If anyone's got any more info it will be greatly appreciated.

[PJMillar]

EdExcel has loads of one mark questions...but it also has loads of tables with about 6 marks.

I think it'll be easy.

We're guarenteed to have questions on Physical, Mental, Social well-beings, Methods of Training, Principles of Trainings, Stuff on fitness, Health components, skill components, circulatory, respiratory, injuries, diet, bones & joints, muscles.

And I know all of it to be honest, because I've got a really good teacher who demands quite a lot of us.

I'm hoping for an A* to be honest.

[lozz2601]

Edexcel only has one mark questions now, doesn't it? (Or tables which are one mark per box effectively). Which is good - no long winded descriptions!
I should be okay, but it depends on what comes up.

I'm doing ocr long course tomorrow. I,ve got A* in coursework & practical at the moment but am unsure what I'll need to get tomorrow to secure the A*. I've looked on the website but it doesn't make much sense. If anyone knows, can they let me know?

Thanks.

Good luck tomorrow everyone.

[11rosie11]

I'm not sure if it has changed.. but I also got an A* in that stuff and was told even if I don't write anything in my paper i'd already have a C. And I thiiink the % for getting an A* with an A* in practical & coursework was pretty low, like 60% or something.
Good luck!
I've got my AS PE exam on tuesday - eek!

How did you people find the exam today?
Also about grade bounds, if you got 100% in coursework and prac's then you'll need 61% in the exam for an A*. My school worked it all out and told everyone what they need. It seems you will need around 81% overall for an A*.
I reckon i got the 61% i needed for the A*; wasn't too hard.
Anyone get 100% in their coursework + prac's and analysis?

[raxeman91]

i got full marks for practical:

10 - Rugby (represent national team, so I got an automatic 10)
10 - Volleyball
10 - Swimming
10 - Football

For analysis, got 20 out of 20 for rugby.

I got an A* at the end :P (did my GCSE PE last year)

I got 98% for my practical. Errm todays paper was really easy. I only needed 42/80 for an A, and i think i'll definitely have got that. Fingers crossed.

OCR exam was good this morning, pretty easy questions.
Think the timing's a bit long though - everyone finished within an hour or so.
