Re: SQA RESULTS 2009 :: Predictions ThreadSeeing as you were good enough to get through the Trinity interview, I'm sure you'll meet your offer(Original post by TheUnbeliever)
Argh, I hate waiting. And I know that I shall inevitably wait up for my results, run out of things to do around 7, fall asleep and then wake up to the text an hour later.

Re: SQA RESULTS 2009 :: Predictions ThreadHaha, thanks. :-) I'm not so sure, maths was a (relative) train wreck. So it's either relying on physics (dodgy) or hoping I did well enough in STEP II that they'll let a bad day in maths slide (dodgier). There's nothing I can do about it now, so it's just waiting... but I'm impatient!(Original post by andi-fsm)

Re: SQA RESULTS 2009 :: Predictions ThreadI know the feeling. I did quite well throughout the year, even taught myself the bulk of the AH course, but messed up my Higher maths exam(Original post by TheUnbeliever)

As for STEP...I've looked at a couple of questions posted on TSR
Good luck though! -

Re: SQA RESULTS 2009 :: Predictions ThreadI think there are three parts that make STEP awkward - the questions look more intimidating than they actually are, they're much longer and, of course, they're rather difficult. But the first two mean that simply keeping up your confidence gets you a good way towards being able to tackle them.(Original post by andi-fsm)

Cheers, you too. What are you planning on applying for, may I ask?(Original post by andi-fsm)
Good luck though! -

Re: SQA RESULTS 2009 :: Predictions ThreadSTEP III was laughable. I got 1 question and 2 partial questions (and one of those partial questions was almost entirely wrong thanks to simplifying something like ab + c into a(b + c) mainly because it was convenient rather than because it was correct(Original post by abstraction98)
How was STEP btw?). STEP II was better: I got 2 complete questions and 4 partial questions (at varying levels of completion, some were well towards being complete). Additionally, it was the first STEP paper I looked at (albeit I didn't look at many - I certainly would have benefited from more revision, but I probably would have enjoyed the year less) where the statistics questions were eminently approachable from the AH course (in particular, the last question was a gift - it was essentially one of the NAB investigations).
