Oh right. Yes it is the same, maybe slight variations for every new year but basically the same

Nice. I was curious because Lee was talking to me sometime ago and he didn't know some basic motion formulas. They might have been in other forms but I explained it in words too.

Final Velocity = Initial Velocity + Acceleration * Time

Is that taught at Lee's age there?

 

[Simbazz]

Briefly they are, i never listened in Science so i couldnt tell you

 

[Highlander999]

Well some subjects you don't have to take. I for instance have no idea what you are on about as I have focused on the arts from a young age.

I am in his year and have learnt that Acceleration = (Final - Initial Velocity)/Time, but we do different GCSE courses. GCSE is the exam taken when one is in year 11 (in rare occasions, schools or pupils take one or a few exams in year 10) which is 15-16 years old but there are two or three different exam boards and syllabi for some exams such as the sciences and maths which have three.

Oh ok but the curious part is that he had asked me to find force based on given certain variables. It wasn't possible without this formula I think.

You get all the formulas like that in the front of the book most of the time, only really basic ones that you wouldn't get given like that speed distance time triangle

I didn't find History too bad. The questions were nice (question 12 was a gift) and I had lots to write about. Sadly I didn't have enough time to write it all! They must expect that though, after all it's the exam board who don't give us enough time.

As for English, I did it in January and already have an A*
</gloat>

How was question 12 a gift. I had no idea about Berlin Blockade nor could I write enough about the seven year plan - so I just did question 11.

LOL, Manne even I remember that stuff and it was two years ago I think you've failed Enjoy sweeping the streets for the rest of your life

Lol. I am going for straight As in my GCSEs with five or six A*. You can choose between two sets of questions for each topic and so I didn't do question 12

 

[Master Khan]

I hate the English one because we are going to compare poems...which sucks
and poems are boring

 

[Highlander999]

GCSEs weren't so easy in my days. You youngster's don't realise how easy life is

 

[Leicester Fox]

I wrote about people who said that in my English exam Tom. I said people like you are scum and if we want to solve the worlds over crowding you shouldn't be allowed to breed.

Poems are worse than a kick in the gorin.

 

[Sureshot]

Uh, sorry to be a bugger guys, but at what age you guys give your GCSE's?

Normal age is 16, year 11 (I believe in most cases it starts at beginning of Year 10. I'm re-taking mine at the grand old age of 20...

Culli, I live in gorin
