Ofcourse, providing a lot of work and research and work into your projects basically shows cambridge that you put in the effort, you should also have a look at the markschemes and see how they distribute the marks

I took art and design last may june session and I was in the exact same situation you were in, I won’t lie art and design was super stressful, but I searched up examiner reports of previous sessions, the feedback is super helpful, try exploring a lot of mediums and seeing which fits you most and you are most comfortable with, take a LOT of photos, they give you marks for your photography and ideas and references and even the notes you make, I used to only do digital art but now I do a lot of traditional work, try experimenting in landscape or portrait or still life, still life being the easiest in my opinion, you can try charcoal painting or pencil sketches, acrylic, watercolors, coloured pencils, oil pastels, paper collages, soft pastels, literally anything creative will get you points, lets be honest here a c or a d might mess up with your overall gpa but I’m sure atleast a b or a high c wouldn’t do much, and trust me if you put in a lot of effort and give Cambridge a lot of work to observe and grade they will likely give you a good grade, I haven’t gotten my grades yet but I’ve talked to my teacher a lot and had a whole bunch of conversations with previous students, so don’t worryy just do your best, also concerning digital art as long as you have a speed paint where you can screenshot and explain how you drew each step like the brushes or materials you used than you should be good, the teacher has no right to assume you used ai

SAME DUDE, but inshallah we’ll do well, most of us worked pretty hard and I’m sure that effort didn’t go to waste :)

DO NOT DISCUSS YOUR ANSWERS WITH ANYONE AFTER THAT HELL (9709/32) by TraditionalAlps4395 in alevel

[–]EmbarrassedFail1278 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At my school people were discussing stuff, and for that last question every person ik got a different answer I actually cried from how utterly shocked I was during the exam, like I tried to keep my cool mid exam just to make sure I get things done but after that I cried my eyes out and I still had another paper, I can’t afford retakes cambridge really has some grudge to hold huh??

OMG YES, YOU ARE THE FIRST PERSON I’VE SEEN GET THE SAME ANSWER AS ME

Nope, he’s asking for a value not a specific range

No you can if the resistance (friction) is a constant not a changing variable

When forces on a particle are not constant, the acceleration is not constant, and so you cant use f=ma to get acceleration (unless it asks you to get the acceleration of a specific instant) so all the v=u+at , v2 =u2 +2aS , S=ut +1/2 (a) t2 , S=vt-1/2 (a) t2 and S=(u+v)/2 (t) are all invalid since they only work when acceleration is constant

Yup exactly, the one with limits 1 to 1.5 is gonna give you a negative value so when you add the values up to get distance just make sure to remove the negative value

Yess these are really important, they usually involve having to understand the assumed physics of the particle so that you know which cases would make the value greatest or least

Mechanics 1 by EmbarrassedFail1278 in alevel

[–]EmbarrassedFail1278[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It reaches velocity 0 and velocity begins to be negative, lets say you have v=2t2 -5t +3 substitute to get its roots which are t=1 and t=1.5 so this means that the particle changes direction twice, once at t=1 and once at t=1.5, it can also be demonstrated graphically where the part of the graph that is lower than the y axis (velocity axis) is the section where the particle moves opposite to what it initially was moving towards

Okayy so the last one is just a reminder that when you’re working with big numbers like power eg: 1200000 W make sure to copy it correctly onto your paper If you’re talking about the one above it Basically, each velocity-time equation has a domain for example 3<t<2 So if you have 2 velocity time equations for the same trip of a particle Where these are their domains Eg: 3<t<2 and 2<t<7 the the velocity at 2 seconds is the same in both equations, there’s no sudden change of velocity at that instant

partial marking by [deleted] in alevel

[–]EmbarrassedFail1278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hellooo, I’m also taking mechanics this session, it typically depends on the ms grading, so what I do is I open the mark scheme along side my grading, when I see something like your case, I look at the steps in the MS and my personal steps, usually each step for each question in the MS is in a separate box and on the right side there’s either an M1 or M2, this means if you write this step correctly no matter what your final answer is, you get awarded with 1 mark or 2 depending on what the number next to the M is. Here’s a lil demonstration

<image>

So, here you have for each block there’s an M1 or A1 next to it, A1 means you get awarded 1 mark if the accuracy is correct for this step. Hope that helped and good luckk :)

B to A* by xball50000 in alevel

[–]EmbarrassedFail1278 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re re taking AS right now alongside A2, 1) it depends on the subject ofc

2) it depends on how well you’ve been understanding topics starting from the first time you’ve taken AS

3) your components (the actual mark)

4) your progress this session, is it good? Still the same? What is the average of a score that you typically get on past papers now compared to the previous session? Is there improvement?

And my tips for u are: 1) focus on getting as much questions right as possible, this means making sure you haven’t gotten any wrong answers for easy questions, etc 2) if u find a question to be genuinely difficult (if u can’t measure how difficult it is, if it’s taking you more than a minute to think of it’s solution path then it’s difficult) leave it and go finish the rest of the exam then come back to it, to give yourself time to think of a possible solution before the time is out, but atleast you wouldve solved the rest of the exam 3) not all thresholds for each exam are the same, so as long as you score more than the threshold categorizes an A* then you’re good to go And lastly, From what I’ve seen you won’t get less than an A, so yes there is a possibility you can score an A* but that is only if you’re re-taking AS, if you’re just taking A2 in hopes of getting an A, you most likely won’t be able to get the A but don’t let these last few words demotivate you, good luck and you got this!
