I have received my checklist for personal information from the exam centre. My number is:
99794-1206
I will write this on the cover of the papers I do since today.

I did two papers today. Here are the results:
Chemistry Unit 1 (Oct 2017): 65/80 (A, UMS 110)
Maths S1 (June 2019): 66/75 (A, UMS 100)🎉🎉🎉
What a wonderful result, as I got 100 UMS in a Maths paper for the first time ever!
My cash-in results for June 2019 Maths are:
180+100=280/300 UMS!
I feel that I'm on fire...

I missed out on an A in the Oct 2018 Chemistry Unit 2 paper by 1 mark! Totally heartbroken! Had I attempted the last question I would have gotten an A!

Because of this I need to do more practice on unit 2!

I quickly bounced back with a 57/80 in a Physics Unit 1 paper, which is full UMS marks again!
It is 10:36 pm now, good night!

I did one Physics Unit 2 and 2 Chemistry Unit 2 papers in these 2 days. I got scores of 61/80 (A, 118 UMS), 65/80 (A, 98 UMS) and 68/80 (A, 103 UMS) in the three papers.
I also did practice on Geometric Sequences of P2.

Maths S1 (June 2018): 67/75 (A, 89 UMS)
Physics Unit 3 (New, June 2019): 34/50 (A, 51 UMS)
Cash in result for Maths in June 2018:
174+89=263/300 (A)

I did two Maths C12 papers over this week (June 2018 and Oct 2017), and got an incredible 192/200 UMS in both of them, with scores of 120/125 and 121/125 respectively. I feel that I have done a Manuel Akanji.
I have also done a Physics Unit 1 paper today. I got 62/80, which is full UMS marks.

Because of this, if I got anything below a B in the papers, I will post a picture of myself wearing a Watford home kit as a forfeit.

As a Chelsea fan maybe you should take some more breaks or go easy for a while :wink:


3 losses in 4.
I may have taken your advice and gave your Chelsea a win.

I went hiking in Bride's Pool this morning to relax. After coming back home, I will be doing a Maths S1 paper. I will do a Chemistry Unit 2 paper just after the Physics lesson from the uni which is conducted online, and watch Liverpool take on Bournemouth after dinner.

From the university physics course I have learnt half of Unit 4 and about 10% of Unit 5. I think I am going to have less stress in 2020/21 especially from the extra lessons in the summer.

The TV show, Sidewalk Scientist, which is broadcast on Channel 81 (Jade) at 8:30 pm on Sundays is a really good one for science students, as it talks about science in daily life.

I tune in to the show every week, so I can apply scientific knowledge to unfamiliar situations better.

Tonight's episode talked about fluid movement and conservation of mechanical energy from water park rides.

I did one paper each day for a week. They are Chemistry Unit 2, Physics units 2 and 3, and Maths C1, C12 and S1. I got an A in all of the papers. I will record all my scores in my next post.
Currently watching Sidewalk Scientist. Today's episode is about a tofu snack in Taiwan, including extraction of salts and the preparation of it by cooling down proteins by neutralisation of charges. It then talked about density in different shapes of metal sandpaper, and why hot water cannot mix with cold water when it is put above cold water.

Here are my recent scores:
I earned 120/120 UMS in 2 Physics Unit 2 papers, with scores of 61/80 (June 2016) and 62/80 (Jan 2016). The 2016 grade boundaries are quite low (47/80 for A), but I found the papers easy, so the 2016 candidates were trash!
I also earned 63/80 (A, 108 UMS) in Chemistry Unit 2 Jan 2017, 67/80 (A, 110 UMS, best score in Chemistry Unit 2 so far) in the GCE June 2015 paper, and 67/75 (A, 88 UMS) in 2018 Maths C1 paper. Evan Edinger, I beat you!

I got 100 UMS in a third Maths paper, this time S1 (GCE) June 2018 with a score of 70/75. I went on to get 195 UMS in the C12 Jan 2016 paper with 122/125.

I completed 8 pages of maths practice today.
Tonight's episode of Sidewalk Scientist on Channel 81 talked about projectile motion from a Thai dish, followed by stationary waves and the relationship between frequency and length of a straw with handmade wind instruments, as well as wavelength changes with a wind instrument from a carrot. After the advert break, there are experiments about the COVID-19 measures, which includes why germs in an isolation ward cannot spread outwards, and why putting toothpaste on glasses will prevent fog on the glasses caused by reflection.
