God damn it... I did two extra questions anyway so I should still be alright I think.

Ahh thank god! Never even crossed my mind during the exam when I was doing it, and when I saw what answers ye got I thought Id messed up!

Thank you. This gives an answer of around 340, and it's always been around this.

I think a lot of people messed that up, thankfully I've been doing those graphs with the last two years so if I got them wrong at this stage, the teacher would be in for it tomorrow. :cool:

You could well be right, I actually brought it across at the top of the straight part of the graph by accident. Oh well.

Wow. I only did 4 questions, and finished only about 15 mins early. The incineration took me about an hour.

Got an A2. Fuming considering I spent countless hours on my project and preparing for the practical.


Considering the exam's all over now, I thought it'd be appropriate to start posting some photos of our projects.

I have real photos of it but they're all still on my phone. I may post them later...

partyatmygaff, that's a pretty bad-ass project. A friend of mine got an A1 this year and his snowmobile wasn't nearly this good. I'd definitely get it rechecked if I were you, unless you screwed up some question in the theory or your practical was a mess.

That's what's annoying me...

I got 98% in my Mock theory exam and never got below an A1 since the start of fifth year. My practical exam went fine too. I honestly don't know how I only got an A2 when I was set all year for an A1.

That project is miles better than the one I made. I wasn't too confident about the theorey exam either and I thought I'd get a B yet I got an A1. I would definatly get that rechecked if I were you.

You'd be foolish to leave that unchecked.
I got an A1 and my model wasn't nearly as good.

partyatmygaff

I will be getting it rechecked, no doubt about it. The only problem is that the ten extra points will have come too late to have any effect

You'll have to appeal....Thats a major problem I appealed a subject last year didnt come til nearly November!
BTW compliments on an unreal project!

Damn I hate the SEC... No change.
