Has anyone seen my shoe? Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 A very happy nick.... About to learn about Blow and Injection moulding, printing processes, plastic types and then draw some fruit :huh: Then read my English texts (Y) ← There pretty easy to remember like grauve is used on magazines and shiznit!

Shaun H Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 GCSE's are only useful until you have A-Levels. The End. ← But if you have the EXACT same A-level results as someone else, then the employer/university is going to look to the GCSEs to make a final decision about wether or not they're taking you or the person with better GCSEs. I wonder who they're going to pick :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dai the Socket Posted June 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 (edited) As for the rest of the exam I thought it was the hardest one so far but still wasn't panic mode hard. Plus being Ecexcel the boundaries are rock bottom so something like 29/100 marks means a B :blink: ← It's 30-45% for a C 45-60% for a B 60% + for an A 70%+ for an A* Something like that anyway. Anything under a C is classed as a 'U' in the higher paper :huh: Edit: Quote: There pretty easy to remember like grauve is used on magazines and shiznit!

I wonder who they're going to pick :huh: ← Ok. But I'm just saying that in the real world, as soon as you've done A-Levels, GCSE results go out the window. Maybe in theory someone will care, but I've not heard anyone mention GCSE's since I did them (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in theory someone will care, but I've not heard anyone mention GCSE's since I did them (Y) ← While you are doing GCSE they really big 'em up to make em sound important. Once you have A-levels, they know you are qualified, they will just go by your interview and how well you get on. No reason to 'delve that deep' into someones exam records just to see who was better, it just doesn't happen. Haz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheChai Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 I figured out the highest to be (8,25) because when X=8 the - (X-8)"/4 bit means 0, so you get 25 the highest possible point? Tell me if I'm not making sense lol, I'm pretty sure that's right though (Y) As for the rest of the exam I thought it was the hardest one so far but still wasn't panic mode hard. Plus being Ecexcel the boundaries are rock bottom so something like 29/100 marks means a B :S ← sounds like u got it :- i guess it to be 10.. dam.. i knew i should have done more on that bit.. but it really confused me.. lol i had the whole page full with random workings.. :) got that prove x=13/33 right :P anyway, english now had a long sleep this morning so should be in the mood lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai the Socket Posted June 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 On my English paper today my second question was SOLID. Really f**kin' confusing! I think I was with AQA, and has specification B. The pre-released was all based about Cars/Transport/Speedcamera. The First question was ok. Comparing and writing about language techniques in the Pre-Released. Then the Second question was the unseen one! Which was really hard and didn't make sense. I f**ked that one up! And the third question was that we had to write to our local MP opposing against the current suggestions that congestion and pollution will triple in the next decade. And suggest / Advise solutions. That one was ok. Graphics was quite hard actually. My drawings were shite. I had higher paper, and It was about Sports Drinks and Fruit. Had to design the carton (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
