How did everyone find physics? Personally it was by far the worst exam for me I couldn't answer two of the Qs because I ran out of time and I probs lost like a bunch of other marks. Did you guys find it difficult as well or is it just me? It's probs just me because someone was saying it was easy so I might be cooked🤒

I didn't do physics but one of my friends did and she also found it difficult. You'll probs be fine dw

Same, there was one question where they asked for the speed but did not provide the time. The first part was fairly okay..

You should be fine then because I didn't really get the last question I only wrote some working out and got some answers that I'm sure was wrong. I think I'm only gonna get like 70😭

The email the school sent a few weeks ago about the details of the exams we just did said that they will be in touch on the week commencing 17th November( in a week basically) about those who who got invited to an interview.

Does anyone know what do you really need to average to get interview because if you do really well on two and not so well on the other two will they still invite you for interview

I sent a report with comments as well as grades. But the grades aren't all 9s(yes there are quite a few 9s) so it's not gonna give me a great advantage. How did you find maths? And other exams you took? Overall I did mid cl

Me too, I got 9s in the subjects i'm taking tho. I took maths and all three sciences which were all mid tbh 😅 Maths was fine but the last questions were quite hard. Bio was probs my best paper. The sample papers they gave us didnt rlly help ngl. What other tests did you take?

I took the same subjects as you! I think the maths went fine - very similar to the sample papers. Chemistry was not too bad for me - I somehow found it easier than the sample paper💀 but my dumb ahh probably still got quite a few wrong. Bio went less well, I didn't really know how large a bacteria cell was and some of the stuff they asked wasn't really on our spec so I lost a bunch of marks. Physics was by far the worst I'd be lucky if I get over 70%. I thought my chances were good after maths and chem but then bio and physics really pulled me down - I don't think I'm getting an interview cuz the person sat next to me didn't struggle with physics at all so I don't think other people found it as hard as I did.
I'm js panicking right now because my chances are very minimal🤮

That's crazy! I thought i was the only one who decided to take all 3 sciences. Ikr, the compulsory questions at the start of the chem paper were alr. The hardest qs for me in bio was the protein moving in the cell. Physics was defo the test that threw me off. If anything, I think maths and bio are the only subjects that might give me a slight chance 😂Me too, plus there were sooo many poeple. I hope you get the interview!

-scientific ideas were heavily dictated by religion
-scientific ideas were heavily dictated by ego
-limitations stem from the fact that the extract was from the church itself so we don’t know whether people in the outside world would also think the same

what about u
