Thanks

Higher Physics, so hopefully should be ok, but they've slightly changed the format of the exam this year, so I'm a bit more nervous than usual as I don't really know what to expect. Ah well, this time tomorrow I'll have made marshmallows with my physics notes (and be revising maths :rolleyes:

)

My day from hell mark 1 is fast approaching - physics prac in the morning, maths in the afternoon. Day from hell mark 2 is double chem day! woo! :p:

Good luck with your exam friendly neutron (and everyone else!).

I haven't done nearly enough work for higher Physics... I don't need to pass it, but I still feel a bit queasy about it. :frown:

AND I've lost my past papers, conveniently. Bleh. At least we get a lovely data sheet.

Can't wait for maths! 3 hours of non-stop calculus fun.

Lots of my friends had their first exams today: language orals. One of them was adamant that 'babystoppenpillen' was the German for 'contraception', despite the teacher's attempts to convince her otherwise... :p:

Is it just me, or is maths getting quite good now we're near the end of it? I found myself actually enjoying it the other day... I think my maths career is ending at an appropriate time; you know, before this enjoyment becomes pathological and all.

Adv. H Physics in an hour and a half...Well, it was nice knowing you all for this short period of time...

Friendlyneutron, you may remember my annoyingly cheery mood, and excitement/eargerness to do the exam yesterday, that I thought nothing could dispel? I have since discovered that a corneal abrasion and a night of pain, subsequently followed by a glance at the specimen paper and a realisation it is nothing like the past papers, did a fairly good job... :frown:

No, I'm getting that too! I was very worried about how into the revision I was getting.. :redface:

Back to funky old Biology after Friday, thank god.

How did all the Scottish physicists find the paper? I thought the higher was quite easy, or would have been if I'd revised properly... lots of stuff in it that I knew I should have known but couldn't remember. :rolleyes:

Thanking my lucky stars I didn't have to pass it. The advanced higher people didn't seem to find it too bad, apart from the couple that left half an hour in..

i did intermediate two physics today (shameful, i know....its a long story). thought it was randomly quite hard for an int 2, but okish really. i was more amused by wee fourth year neds putting their hands up through the exam going "can i have a calculator/rubber/pen?" i mean WTF why on EARTH would u come to an exam without the necessary accoutrements?! *honestly* yeah so bit harder than ur average int 2 piss take worringly. hmm.

well thats me half way through, two left now. cant wait till this is over.

Fiz was okay I suppose, could have been worse, could have been better. I'll find out on the 8th of August how well it went, I don't like talking about exams too much in that sense once I've sat them, incase whatever I say comes back to bite me on the arse. Maths next! I can't believe I still have 3 subjects to go :frown:

Is physics part of your offer Neutron?

Reply 2016

yep, I need an A in it, which was really nice of them considering this is essentially the first time I've done physics! hopefully I've managed it, the paper was pretty fair. Find out in August though, I guess!

It's the 8th of August this year? Pretty early, I think it's usually about the 12th.. I hope the school have told the SQA I changed address or I'll have to go to all the trouble of phoning up to get my results. :frown:

I love the AH maths scholar books. The Unit 2 one has a calculus song in it. :smile:

You know you're going insane with frenzied revision when you enjoy a calculus song.

My head hurts...
Fortunatly, that's more to do with my eye than the paper. Wasn't as bad as I'd thought...Result could go either way though :confused:

Yeah, results are the 8th...think it's always the second Tues in August, which explains the odd date...(Though leaves you thoroughly perplexed as to why such a random day)
