Honestly I don't remember. I just remember multiplying things together and converting things into units throughout the entire paper 😂😂 This exam was legit practice for my maths exam tomorrow!!


For that question, I converted the megabits to bits (21 000 000 bits in total) and ended up getting 274.3 seconds I think.

Same!!! I thought I was the only one that enjoyed it because everyone at my school was complaining at how difficult it was but to be fair it didn't include quite a lot of mathematical calculations!

Anyways, what did you write for the first six maker about the stares , galaxies and the elements?
Also is the last few calculations did you use the Power= Current x voltage to find the power and then converted it to KW and converted the seconds to hours?


In the first six marker I talked about random stuff for stars that should get me 2 or 3 marks and then about redshift in galaxies and how that proves space is expanding, which should get me 3 marks hopefully.

For the questions on the last page, I got 1.15 kWh and 540J.

Funnily enough, I wrote a load of waffle, then redshift, then frequency of light in relation to temperature. Exact same answers for the last page. Hopefully 5/6 on the first six marker, if I remember what I put correctly.

same, probably the only thing i got right
does anyone remember the six markers and the answers they put ??

would have gotten the same answer as you, i was so confident on the question because i already knew that 1 megabit was 0.125 megabyte all i had to do was 0.125 * 21 but instead in the heat of the moment or idk what i was thinking but i multiplied it by 12 f****** 12 ugh FML and got 1.5 instead of 2.625.

Likewise.

Well... I don't know about anyone else but I found it harder than expected :/
I really don't think I did very well in that paper 😭 what did you get for the questions you had to convert it to nanometres to one significant figure? I got like 5×10^-16 which is obviously wrong

I got 500nm. I think where you went wrong was multiplying by 1*10^-9 instead of dividing by 1*10^-9. You should probably still get 2 out of 3 marks!

What did u get for the part before that when it asked you about the information? I got 4.3 seconds because I got 90000000 for the part before it and divided it 21000000 ehich gave me 4.3 seconds.

I got something around 5 billion for part a.
what do you guys think the grade boundaries will be what would it be to get a B etc and did anyone get 180 on the first bit of the last page and what box did you guys tick for the digital question .

Am i the only one who did calculations for the P-Wave speed graph question?

I thought we had to work out how the graph shows the wavelength is 3500km, but after the exam people were saying they just explained changing surface types of the Earth...

Would you be able to remember the question or parts of it? My mind is playing games with me so I am unable to think right now :x
I reckon grade boundaries will be about 42 (+-2).

What did you all put for the True/False question?

Ah. I remember that I got 5 760 000 000 as the number of bits and then divided it by 21 000 000.

Yup, I deffo got that question wrong then lol -_-' Funny how I thought I was right the entire time. But how did u get 5.76billion?

Sorry, but I can't remember anything apart from multiplying a few things together.

1 byte = 8 bits
720 MB = 720,000,000 B
720,000,000 * 8 = 5,760,000,000 bits

Did you guys get 500 for the nanometre conversion question?
