Science Exam 2011

DarkDusk · 15-06-2011 02:21PM #1

Thursday 16th June 2011.
Morning 9:30 - 11:30

Didn't see a thread for this so I'd thought I'd make one myself. So, how are ye fairin' up for it??

Every job is a self portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence.

My real face is going to come out tomorrow...

Lucan Bohs · 15-06-2011 05:16PM

Feeling confident, at least a B

AllisonB · 15-06-2011 06:00PM

used to be great at science but recetly I neglected it as i got 98% in pres so I really have to get my act together tonight

AllisonB · 15-06-2011 06:01PM

does anyone know how much the experiment book at project is worth?

Like 10%

Desire. · 15-06-2011 06:03PM

Hoping for an A. Bit sketchy on the Chemistry though.

Experiments - 10%.
Investigations - 25%.

phenomenale · 15-06-2011 06:03PM

Pretty confident I'll get an A. Science is my best subject :cool:

Slow Show · 15-06-2011 06:06PM

Yay, Science. Gonna be a nice break from writing loads (exempting French and CSPE) and I feel reasonably well-prepared for it, gotta look over some of the crappier parts of Physics and some annoying biology definitions. Should be OK, I think I did a fairly good project thing so fingers crossed it goes well.

Bruckey2345 · 15-06-2011 06:19PM

I was just wondering if i was to study 5 topics from biology , chemistry and physics tonight which ones one you suggest , as i am screwed for science!!!

You can't really predict Science, a bit of everything comes up.

Someone posted some predictions in the "Screwed for Science" thread if you look there.

Bruckey2345 · 15-06-2011 06:32PM

Sound

rorrissey · 15-06-2011 06:58PM

Ughh, I'm a bit worried. I've neglected Science so much, even though I really like it. I'm grand at Biology but I'm just worried about Chem and Physics.

FatRat · 15-06-2011 07:30PM

I'm expecting this and German to be absolute trainwrecks for me. Especially after doing so well in the past 6 subjects.
Highest I'll get is a B in both I'd say! Even that's kind of unlikely.

Does anyone know if they could find out if you lied about your experiments book?
I haven't handed it in. And even though I ticked the boxes in coursework B, my teacher says that he needs to sign a sheet for each individual saying whether or not coursework A is handed in. But another class in my year said the teacher only signs one thing for the whole class.
Which is true? Because I'm definitely destined for a C if I lose that 10%.

toxicgasmask · 15-06-2011 07:34PM

I think im like the only person i know who find biology waaaaaaaaay harder than chem and physics. in the mocks i almost got full marks in chem and physics and only got about half of biology

The teacher just signs saying that all experiments were completed, not if each individual has written in every experiment. You are leaving a risk though, because an inspector could look at your copies and 0% for sure then!

Lucan Bohs · 15-06-2011 07:35PM

I hate chemistry >:(

dylanlolwut · 15-06-2011 08:42PM

the science exam is half nine tomorrow and i still havent began to study for science because some assh*le stole my science book! if anyone has any websites or predictions of will be coming up i would really appreciated

Don't worry. ThePhysicsTeacher.ie

You're pretty much sorted with that.

robman60 · 15-06-2011 09:33PM

Mock result: 85%
Predicted result tomorrow: 68%

I seem to be unable to retain scientific definitions and points for more than two weeks. At my second year parent teacher meeting (yes, second year) my teacher was saying "ya, A in the JC no bother" I don't want to let her down, but I feel it's on the cards at the moment.

Desire. · 15-06-2011 09:35PM

Pre Result: 73%.
Predicted Result: 88%.

Hope so anyway. :cool:

AnnKiins · 15-06-2011 10:20PM

Mock result-67
Predicted JC result- 48

Oh Dear...

No problem! Excellent website to be fair to the teacher.

I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, science is my best/favourite subject!!!

Well, if you're just looking for general advice, don't focus too much on any chapter, cos the science paper covers everything pretty much equally. Try and remember any chemical equations that could come up, like the ones for the production of Oxygen or Carbon Dioxide. Make sure you understand the calculations in physics, as they always seem to catch people out. And, for the love of god don't get your units wrong, they're the easiest marks you'll ever lose. Always here to help! :cool:

P H A 7V T O M · 15-06-2011 10:45PM

This.... Is going to be easy.

Indiego · 15-06-2011 11:01PM

mock result- 94%
predicted result - A, or ill cry XD
I love love love science, along with maths, I actually get genuine enjoyment out of learning it :L Aiming high for the exam, as long as my project work doesnt let me down :L
only section I'm worried about is physics - praying we don't get any tricky questions :L

one piece of advice I can give to everyone - learn the production of oxygen annd carbon dioxide, the neutralisation and the respiration/photosynthesis chemical eqns, at least one of them is bound to come up ^^

I was the same last year when I was doing it for the JC...thought there was way more to learn and way harder stuff in the biology section. I got an A

ended up doing chemistry and biology for leaving cert, would have done physics, too, if it wasn't for the "subject lines" system in my school :pac:

Moromaster · 15-06-2011 11:17PM

I found my experiment book in my bookcase when I was studying... am I screwed?
