Im doing my first CXCs this year (Caribbean Examination Council) which is the caribbean equivalent to GCEs. Actually im doing one GCE subject which is english language.
In CXCs im doing Maths, Building Tech. and Technical Drawing.
Next year - FP1-3, M2, M3, S2 (stupid birk of a teacher is forcing us to do one module of stats next year, even though i'd rather do an exam in watching paint dry). i actually really like mechanics, and my tutor thinks its stupid we have to do a stats module (he got scarily good grades)
Last Year:
C1 [pretty easy]
C2 [ditto]
S1 [I_hate_statistics_with_a_passion]
FP1 [meh]
D1 [the singularly most awesome "maths" module ever]
NM [lots of equations to remember, not too bad]
This Year:
C3 [somehow managed to ace it ]
C4 [not too bad]
M1 [Might as well not have turned up to the lessons, it's AS Physics]
FP2 [I'm considering taking an exam in eye surgery and applying for it to be counted towards Further Maths, it's a damn sight easier than FP2]
M2 [ditto M1]
DE [exam last monday, learning loads of methods basically]
I can tell you about 2a, but it's been a while since I did these crazy GCSE things...
Essentially what the question is asking you is the possibility of the conversations being either 25-29 mins or 30-34 minutes (24.5 because 25 is 24.5 rounded to the nearest whole number). So you add up all of the conversations (55) and then divide the number of convos over 25 mins by 55 which comes to 0.2. And that's your probability. Don't quote me on that, but it seems to make sense to me.
Well i have done two exams so far, Int 2 English and Maths. Maths was so so so easy while English was werid. I have my higher Physics exam tommorrow....oh crap
just had S1 and Physics Unit 1 (edexcel). both were a little worse than i was expecting (physics made a bit more difficult by the fact THERE WAS A GUY WITH A ****ING LAWNMOWER OUTSIDE BANGING AGAINST THE WALL FOR ABOUT AN HOUR!!!!
I dont know why, but I usually get good results in Physics. Everyone says its much harder but I find it mostly common sense with some calculations to remember. Hopefully the same applies for tomorrow.
