thing is my exam is at 1.30 and I have a clash so I ll have to be awake until 5 but I think I can manage it..cause I did it today for biology.

If I pass out great.. I ll get my predicted grades which is an A* xD


Ouch! We start M2 at 11:30am, followed by an hour break from 1pm-2pm and then finish D1 at 3:30pm.

5pm is harsh :smile:

Seriously! We're supervised, but we get a full hour lunch (we have to bring it before the first exam, as we're not allowed to leave the room unless we need a toilet break). A 5 minute break really is harsh.

how do you work out the number of comparisons and swaps in a bubble sort ?

Omg I was having a rest break and I needed the toilet. So I thought the invilator was outside..but he had followed me in. Then he was giggling to himself when I turned around to see him
Gud luck.

1. Yes
2. It would be at 3.5, Gantt charts show elapsed time.
3.The activity after.


Sorry yeah the second one should be 3.5 because day 0 would actually be day 1. Cheers

I just want a long list of every definition we'd ever need to know. I get thrown off when I see questions like define a path. Or when it asks how we found the shortest route

How I feel about this exam (which is a resist for me) M2>D1 any day (and I do not thoroughly enjoy mechanics to say the least)
Do you think someone will post a markscheme today?
How do you calculate the amount of swaps and comparisons during the first pass of bubble sort????

Add every time you compare two numbers and add the total number of swaps. You should always have less swaps than comparisons.

Thank you!!

The vertex of the R region that would give the minimum value for P is around there. It's not exactly -4, but remember the question specifies integers, so you round to -4. I think, btw, I'm not a teacher or anything.


I got the exact answer as -4.94 or something and I don't understand how sometimes you round down and other times you round up?? I end up writing both lol

If I have time I'll store my answers in my calculator; I did that for S1 and people seemed to agree with most of my answers. Hopefully the same happens again :smile:

You round down because it needs to be in the feasible region as well as being an integer - it depends on the question
