Learning a 700 word essay? I'm pretty sure the examiner would be able to tell you're reciting something, and turn that against you.

I see your teacher's logic though. I don't think she's telling you TO RECITE AND LEARN a giant essay, but to read it so you get a rough idea of the pictures. Then just re-call a few sentences for each picture from the essay instead of saying everything.

Conversation (?) holds the most marks in the oral I think, so I'd say if A1s were given out ... probably because of the incredible language skills people hold over there .

No she is asking us to learn it paragraph by paragraph she extremely dedicated teacher. She takes 6 sixth year students after and before school for an hour just to work on oral. Anyway personally I think its to much and irish atm the for me anyway looks like the most time consuming subject!

Applied maths is easy enough so far, and yeah i do physics. It's similar enough, especially mechanics if you are in that yet

Yeah we started of with mechanics, what book are you using as I want to teach it to myself

Haha thanks anyway I just checked online and there seems to be only one book...

Edit: sorry but do you do it in school or outside school as the one nearest to me is 35 km away....

Speaking of the sraith phictúir, does anyone know how many marks they count for/what percentage of your overall grade they are?

They are 80/600 so 13.3%
The oral itself is 40%

Wow that's really good. I started athletics recently and would love to be able to run like that.

Anyoneee?
Given the quadratic -2x^2 -16x has the same maximum value as -x^2 -12x + 5 find value of k !

Are you sure that this is the exact way the question is phrased? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think we can find k if its not in the equation

mayogirlie1 · 20-10-2014 08:20PM

Oh sorry the first part its actually Given the quadratic -2x^2 -16x + k has the same maximum value as -x^2 -12x + 5 I did perfect square on the second equation and got 41-(x+6)^2 can't find k though!

Yup its honours lc! Our teacher insists that we do the papers as we do the topic!

The only good thing about Geography is getting to draw a nice diagram... Otherwise it's work work work!:pac:

Any help???? Its question 10 by the way:)

Edit: Sorry I took a picture of the wrong question instead the actual question is "When the two digits of a two digit number are added together,the answer is 12.The two digit number obtained by swapping the digits around is 18 more than the original number.Find the two digits."
