Edexcel D1 - 17th June, 2016 [Exam discussion]

Sorry to break it to you but odd/even is only a definition which can be applied to integer values, so it would never be odd or even, hence stuck in a cycle of does x = 0? no, x = x/2

46 for an A (June 03) and a lot in the low fifties.

And in June 2004.

Wow, they ARE low, aren't they?

Yeah - I cannot see it being any higher than 56, I'd say either 55/56 for an A, I don't really envision anything lower than that either to be honest..

The grade boundaries usually go in intervals of 6, don't they - which would make it 61-62 for 90 UMS, and 67-68 for 100 UMS; is that right? WOW - get in there! I really didn't feel all that confident coming out of it - what with already knowing that I got the schedule wrong, and not having any time to check my activity network. But, actually, with those sort of grade boundaries, D1 will probably end up being one of my strongest modules this year!

Don't take my word for it!!

I'm just basing it off of how it seems the majority found the timings and questions etc.

I know - but, it's definitely much more reassuring that everyone seems to think the same thing. Thanks for your predictions, anyway!

Hey does anyone have model answers ??

Hey, at least they didn't ask us to explain the uses of those three dummies - that would have taken even longer!

Was the questionning

1. Matching
2. Preceedence table
3. Algorithm
4. Djik
5. Flow Chart
6. Gantt chart & co
7. Program

I wish! If only Edexcel hadn't so ruthlessly and gruesomely murdered Arsey like that...

No.

1) Matching
2) Precedence Table
3) Bin Packing/Quick Sort
4) Algorithm (Flow Chart)
5) Dijkstras
6) Route Inspection
7) Gantt/Scheduling
8) Linear Programming

There were eight questions, so it must have been something like this:

1. Matchings
2. Activity network
3. Quick sort
4. Dijkstra's algorithm
5. Flow-chart
6. Route inspection
7. Critical path analysis
8. Linear programming

(*The first three and last two were definitely in that order, but I'm not entirely sure about the order of questions 4-6...)
