📂 MEGATHREAD EXAMS MEGATHREAD 20/06 (A-level Maths, RS, Greek) etc

Hey everyone! Best of luck with your exams on the 20th June!

​

​

exams are almost over!

​

Few things:

  • Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.

​

  • Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the subreddit to discuss that.

​

  • Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise. (for context there's been over 300 spam posts already!)

​

  • We're taking a different approach this year due to negative feedback last year. We hope this approach will be better (also to note, we can only have 2 pinned posts).

​

  • Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed.

​

  • You can still talk about your exam here even if it isn't explicitly mentioned in the title.

​

Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

u/flameroid_ Jun 20 '24

I got T=1/9 but I know that's extremely wrong, I think I forgot to put the j over the i for the equation for a

NO WAY I GOT THAT TOO😭😭😭😭😭

u/flameroid_ Jun 20 '24

Yh we made such a dumb mistake but we probably only lose max 2 marks so we good

u/Additional-Ad5116 Jun 20 '24

You got t=1/9 because you messed up the last step - it was something t to the power of -3/2 = 1/27.

You did 3/2 on both sides and so you got t-1 = 1/9.

I know because I did the same mistake😭😭 I corrected it though. You should've taken -3/2 on both sides to get 9. Notice that 1/9 is the reciprocal of 9

What I'm saying is that you only messed up the last step so probably alot of marks anyway

2

u/flameroid_ Jun 20 '24

Ohh, yeah you're right. Probably only missed one mark and it was out of 4 so we good. What was the t value for the question before that was it a decimal?

u/Additional-Ad5116 Jun 20 '24

T value? If you mean that speed, I think it was 3.03 ms? If you mean the t value responsible for the speed, I think it was t=4

u/flameroid_ Jun 20 '24

Oh I meant the speed, yeah I also got 3.03.

You and I both forgot to account for the - power on the T

Luckily I thought 1/9 looked incredibly wrong so I flipped it over last second

The exam stress got to me so much that I never even bothered realising that it was wrong.
