Almost certainly was. Unless 11 year olds could translate sine curves 90 degrees left, 2 up and flip it upside down in your day.
Here is the rant about people's attitudes to GCSE's from a student who's about to take 12 of them (having 1 already). I'm sorry if I offend anyone - it's not intentional.
Complete and total bs. (unless it's a foundation paper :tilt
Well, to tell you the truth, you can't actually fail a GCSE. Yes, a 'G' is a pass. (ain't it ridiculous)
Again, bs. If you're really good at a subject, you'll get an A/A*
Yes, it is absolutely crap. Far too many people get C's when they don't deserve it. And also, if I write in my biology exam 'energy is produced by photosynthesis', then I get marked wrong.
From my experience, certainly. I'm fortunate enough to be blesses with a relatively high degree of intelligence, and I can see that some subjects are harder than others. For example, take the example of (the farce of) coursework. The majority of my (mixed ability) History set have got 48-50/50 in their Stalin Coursework. The top mark in my (top set) French set last year for coursework was 85/90.
My Latin teacher showed us a table last year of how hard subjects were compered to each other. The study by Durham University showed that if you worked hard enough in Latin to get a B, then working the same hardness (sorry for making up a word) in P.E would get you an A*. All the 'easy options' were at the top of the 'easy scale', with Latin at the bottom, along with French & Spanish.
afaik its below the a level which is about the same as a german abitur which is in fact dead easy therefore a gcse is something a trained monkey could do on a bad day
yes you are and claiming that energy can be produced shows a fundamental nonunderstanding of physics and is part of a greater problem of how biology is usually taught in a pseudoscientifical way marked by the ability to get grades by repetition (trained monkey) rather than understanding of the principles behind it
request to be taught by someone who knows what hes talking about
i took one of those to my math examns at uni to get around the silly no calculator rule... didnt need it though
theyre such a neat little tool to work out that 2*2 is in fact 3.99 and maybe another 9 depending on how skilled you are at aligning the scales
