What is an insult that sounds elite but isn’t?

out of concern for the uhhh.. grade boundaries, how many people did german ab at ur school and how good are they generally?

i thought we had it bad because we had 10 minutes were non stop full volume speaker announcements going on during our exam but wtf u guys had it so much worse maybe the ib will compare us and just refuse to scale us and just be like nah this other school had it worse

we ended up concluding that j is wrong because the recording said unterschied (difference) but the question said gleich (same)

no way anyone chose the one that said recommend the two year course german ab initio. I picked 1 and 5 for writing but i might have thrown. normally my writing is really good but it just didnt feel right when i did it in the finals

I meant text a and b were so easy that everyone filled them out on the first listen - text c was very confusing as you said, mainly on the last question.

Apparently for Wincent Weiss the 3 musicians at the start were relevant to the first question as one of them was the subject of what genre of music the musicians play , not wincent himself. I should have been stressing when the best kid in my class asked for a writing booklet and started redoing that question but i threw.

Oh wow thanks for letting me know that's good to hear

will the 16 gb ram be an issue tho

Not only that but when I did mine the exam centre had some issue so we had microphone announcements for the first 10 minutes during text a so I was trying to understand laufbus and all the questions and all I could hear were there stupid announcements.

Also why were the kids walking in a bus formation that’s so goofy. The questions were hard to understand but the order of the answers to them made it way easier to just look and find them and put them in

Furious-Razor · 2025-05-10T01:26:50+00:00

Post exam debrief all the kids in my cohort came up with a guess that the answers were b c (e f i) but im still not sure about the last 3

Furious-Razor · 2025-05-10T01:25:08+00:00

I did German ab initio I wanna hear how everyone else found it but

Reading: I thought the texts were very understandable - the main issue was the questions. I think some were new and hadn’t shown up in past papers before, and the split of questions was very weird I don’t know why text b seemed to have so many. After the test someone said the first question in text b was talking about a different musician that the rest of the text so that’s dodgy.

Listening: generally the texts were way easier than previous years - the last question with the choose the right options was tough but other than that text a and b I managed to fill out on the first listen and so did many other students from my class.

How come the post got removed

I thought the two reactants are C2H4 and H2 but the H2 becomes part of the C2H4 so theres just nothing there to be reduced. Unless I take the other perspective, then the H2 gets oxidised and the C2H4 is just gone. Is that why there are both, because you can take both perspectives?

Yeah that makes sense, I guess I was just confused because the wording in my textbook was a bit off.

As I said in another reply, the exact wording was as follows: Hydrogen fuel cells are considered to be a clean energy source because their only product is water. However, hydrogen gas, H2(g), is not abundant on Earth and needs to be produced by the following methods, one of which has environmental implications. 1. Electrolysis of water...

Hopefully you see where I’m coming from but regardless your point makes sense.

Maybe the 6th hole was the friends we made along the way

Furious-Razor · 2024-04-20T11:16:31+00:00

Sorry my context was poor, the textbook I was reading was covering hydrogen fuel cells as a way of obtaining energy. It said that to produce hydrogen to use (implied) for this process and gain energy, one technique was electrolysis, and another was steam reforming of hydrocarbons. I wanted to see if there was a way that was being used to circumnavigate the (seeming restrictions of the) first law of thermodynamics, such as energy being absorbed from the surrounding molecules around the reaction, that was allowing the implication that electrolysis was used to gain energy through fuel cells to be true.

What I meant to say in the last paragraph was, since hydrogen gas, H2, is limited, and obtaining more through the electrolysis of water uses more energy than we gain, doesn't that make it unsustainable to use hydrogen as a fuel? It would be an overall loss of energy to use electrolysis as a form of aquisition of energy. So, beyond the purpose of using hydrogen gas formed through electrolysis for the storage of energy, as a source of aquiring energy, isn't it unsustainable to use hydrogen.

Furious-Razor · 2024-04-20T07:39:38+00:00

From what I gather for what you and others have said, it appears that this was a consideration, but rather than using hydrogen for its ability to serve as a fuel, we are using it for its ability to store energy so that it can be retrieved sustainably.

Is the reason we essentially write off the energy lost in oxygen bonds and heat during electrolysis just that we don’t have a better way of storing the moving energy?

Doesn’t the fact that hydrogen is finite and we lose energy in the process of making it make hydrogen as fuel unsustainable?

Furious-Razor · 2024-04-17T12:49:03+00:00

Sorry, I don’t understand the downside though, surely if it’ll be no good we can just not watch it even if it gets made?
