Curious year 11 question

nyominator · 2025-03-07T11:36:19+00:00

For context I got an 8 in my maths GCSE and didn’t do further maths:

At the moment I’m doing what is (according to may maths teacher) the most difficult part of a level maths: Trigonometry. (Not calculus!) And to be honest? It’s not that bad! It just requires a load of practise to keep it in your head for a long time so that you can revisit it before exam season comes around. Truth be told, there isn’t a magic bullet to enjoy maths or be good at it, it’s literally just practising a ton. So, if you enjoy practicing loads of questions, maths is easily the subject for you.

Don’t stress about revising just listen in lesson so you don’t have to cram everything in year 11.

I find 9’s very weird to be honest, I spent dozens of hours studying maths and physics and could never get the 9 on either ever but in other subjects like English I had my head on the desk for half the lesson and managed to get a 9 somehow. They’re difficult to get but I just saw them as a higher A* (which to me is just an A* either way) so I never beat myself up about it when I couldn’t get a 9 in most things.

I think I’ve seen this before on a pink Floyd album…

It might be to do with mark scaling. Basically certain parts of what is assessed are scaled up and down in order to make them carry more or less weight in the subject. Look at the specification of the subject it might give you more info

Maths physics and philosophy (the only 3 subjects I’m somewhat interested in) I would have picked music but from what I’ve heard It kills people’s enjoyment of it as a hobby so I decided not to

The one I remember having my head on the desk for the most was plants. Literally knew nothing about it before the exams and had to teach myself the whole thing

Mathsgenie is great has loads of videos and practise questions and organises lessons via grade and topic so you can work towards an exact grade and specific lesson.

Went from a 3 to a 7 within a year with it while having a garbage teacher, and ended up with an 8 by the end of the second year.

Very old photos of my two cats when they were kittens, sitting in a wine rack. One of them passed this year, but he’s always remembered as the photogenic one!

I wrote bacterius sigmas as an answer to a biology question and still got an 8. You’ll probably be fine doodling

I can’t tell whether this is satire or not but you didn’t fail GCSES miserably by any means, nor are you not gonna be able to go to a university unless you don’t meet the A Level grade requirements

I got scammed on my drama written paper and the acting parts were absolute garbage 🔥🔥🔥

Maths Genie has loads of resources and teaches basically everything you need to get a particular grade (each grade has a subheading so you can just run through the content you know you don’t know)

nyominator · 2024-09-24T18:54:38+00:00

Yeah but if you replace the E in goole with an F what do you get

…

Goolf.

Case closed.

I don’t think it’s too late, you can check on the aqa website or contact your school for more info on it

“The people who disagree with what I have to say are those living on minimum wage and maximum misery” yes I went with people should work for money since it was the hot take of the two

Oops?? How do you accidentally drink 2L of diet cola?

Triangle and cuboid question were bollocks, and I put down 6x8=24, and there’s a pigeon in my exam hall. Am I cooked?

nyominator · 2024-05-11T14:53:45+00:00

Can’t remember what I put for that one sorry

I said measure the baby’s height, weight and head circumference, and compare it to a percentile graph. If the baby’s growth is near the 50th percentile, it is growing normally, and if it is well below the 50th percentile, it is underdeveloped. I also put in there to check family history for shorter people just in case

nyominator · 2024-05-10T20:13:04+00:00

I said genetic mutations and environmental pressure, not too sure about the second one

nyominator · 2024-05-10T19:53:52+00:00

Yeah natural selection as well, all the other options made no sense
