I heard especially in electronic engineering, you'll see complex numbers until your eyes bleed :lol:

Physics mocks done! Multiple choice was quite tricky, but the long written paper was ok. Finished with quite some time at the end so I was a bit bored :indiff:


2 years of Electrical Engineering if I go Cambridge will be horrible:cry:

I hate multiple choice so much.

Some of the multiple choice questions I get are so horrific, they have so many traps in them :lol:

I suppose that's what you get for choosing to do a general engineering course :tongue:
Finished mocks yesterday and only just got out from bed a couple of hours ago.

The worst thing about multiple choice is I doubt myself based on patterns in my answers. In the TSA I thought the answers for a certain sequence of questions was AAAAABABBB or something like that but I was thinking that they wouldn't exclude C, D and E for such a long run of questions:dontknow:

Chemistry multiple choice was really quite easy, Physics multiple choice was a lot harder and I just about finished on time. In my Physics multiple choice I did 14 questions before my first 'D' answer came up :lol:

2 hours of chemistry and 4 hours of maths tomorrow, yeeee
Firmed and insured my uni choices today :biggrin: so exciting and a bit scary hahah

Luckily I don't have any multiple choice for A-Levels.

IB Maths is by far the hardest subject for me, even though I spend the most time studying it (more than double the hours I spend on chemistry and physics combined!) I'm still not getting solid 6s :frown: Time is a huge issue in IB exams, but I'm becoming better practiced over time so I think I definitely will be about to get a 6 in my real exam, or maybe even a 7 :lol:

How do IB grade boundaries work? Like eg for gcses the A* is top 8% in the country, is a 6/7 like a top level? :smile: always been curious

roughly 75% for a 7 which is the highest grade, should give you an idea of how hard the questions are :tongue:
6 is around 65-75%

On my first ever IB Maths test I got a 4 :colondollar:

Generally, around 8% of people get 7s in the Maths, Chemistry and Physics (I think Biology has like 3%!)

Ohhhh right! Wow yeah sounds hard! No shame in that my first AS physics assessment was an E :tongue:

I've seen 31 mark questions where an entire paper is out of 120 marks :redface: they're good fun though :lol:
Is there a time limit for choosing firm/insurance after receiving decisions from all unis?

It's some time in may

do you think universities would disregard an A prediction when it will be mentioned in my reference that i got 300/300, and expect me to get an A*?
