Science exam - 07.06.2007.

[Tristan]

Who's doing this exam tomorrow?
I'm in Year 10 so everyone in Year 10 should unless they're doing a single GCSE graded course.
Nervous?
I am on the OCR Gateway paper whatsit, higher.

All papers are out of 100 marks I think...
I need 34% (34 marks) for a C.
64% for a B.
94% for an A.

B coming my way, I guess.

(All marks required should be of a 30%/30 mark gap - don't know why, just is :P).

[Yoshimitsui]

Im doing that, im well nervous, as their is alot of things that im not good with in that. It's the one in the source booklet isant it?

[Axel]

[TheGayOne]

A isn't hard on that test. And I'm assuming in year 11 you will be taking a science double then?

[uh huh her]

i have three to do, one for each science cos my school's one of the first to introduce triple award at the end of year 9.
biology tomorrow, then idk when my chemisty and physics ones are.
i'm so failing (h).

[Carlos]

good luck all :)

remember, just do your best then don't worry about the outcome :)

[Axel]

Is all the stuff we need for the test on the pre release sheet?

[-Dispute]

Goodluck with that I got a B for my 1st science GCSE... ;)

[Tristan]

Please tell me how you know... :)

Also, no the double graded course goes over the two years - year 10 & 11. Did the last 33% of the first grade year 10 today.


How'd it go everyone?
I found it pretty easy. :)

[Axel]

Lmao easy.... I found it hard, and it hardly had anything to do with science. Like what the hell is ALARA? And how do scientists share results? I put telephone and email.

Are you in Year 10? Lol.

[TheGayOne]

i did yr 10 OCR one today, wasnt mega hard in general

but a couple of the questions i had to guess coz my teacher hadnt said about it =(

[Axel]

I did OCR too ^

I just realized some of us had different test papers, some were OCR, some were edexcel, some were AQA etc.

[Tristan]

I was doing OCR Higher. Are you in Year 10? :S

My first question was something like: "Name one characteristic that the mammal in the image has." or something.

[Axel]

Yes, I was doing year 10 OCR higher, and the first question was something to do with ALARA.

[dirrty]

Yes, I was doing year 10 OCR higher, and the first question was something to do with ALARA.
i did that test, my friend thought alara was a person lol. i think it said what alara was in brackets

[Axel]

It was something like as low as reasonably achievable, but the question still didn't make sense.

[TheGayOne]

Rafael i ahd same paper as you =) think i did ok apart from the Big Bang theory questions

[Axel]

Must have been two different OCR's too then.

[TheGayOne]

Must have been two different OCR's too then.


You got given a pre release sheet? - looking at your earlier post.

Must have been a dif test then, we didnt get any sort of pre release =(

[Axel]

Yep, we got a pre release sheet which was what the test was based on.

[TheGayOne]

Thats why you found the test easy then, harder for me, didnt get anything like that =(

[Axel]

No, I found this test hard.

[Wootzeh]

It was fairly easy, although I missed out 6marks xD

[Eamonn]

I am not doing it, I am doing double award AQA course and my final two modules of core science GCSE are on the 25th, if I get 40/50 on both of them I will definately have an A in science :X and the tests are easy anyways.

[dannyisnotamazing]

Yeah - I did it today. Phsyics, Bioligy and Chemistrys in the paper. Wasn't much though.. was kind of easy. I did the foundation one, all my year did. They didn't enter us for higher haha thick school much? ^^*.

I was with OCR board aswell. :-).

The B2C2P2 module thing? && You did a 111 in January? So you did Science in the News + Can do tasks? Cool. That means that you did the same as me :P - except I was entered for Higher in both papers.
