    paper was super easy. I only needed to think for 2 questions. 1 was the canal question and the other was the f(x)=x^2+4x-6 question

        the nth term was not easy
        2 marks though
        practice how to find nth term in sequence with 2 differences
        like this sequence
        4-10-18-28-40
        good luck

    OMG I know, I got 54 cells, but when I spoke to the other people, half the class got 52-6, but the other half got like 43-8………how can everyone’s answer be so different??

  How many cells did you count? 🙁 and what was you “actual length” to the nearest whole no. ( I thought that question was tremendously horrid)

  - amy on May 7, 2015 at 1:05 pm said:
    
    For the actual length, I got 0.04mm, which sounds way too small, and other people in my class got random answers like 0.25mm………What did you guys get????

      yes many people got 52 – 54 ( I think that’s right ) I got 69 🙁 lol! and even I got 0.04mm but since the question said nearest whole no. I rounded it off and my final answer was 0 which is absurd but that’s what the question was asking for :/ this paper wasn’t as good as I wanted it to be but it’ll do 🙂 anyone doing the English language paper tomorrow? psyched!

        do you know what i wrote for the actual size ? i wrote 40 mm !! hhahaha i know its wrong !!:) but there was no time so i just wrote this answer
      - Izzeldeen on May 7, 2015 at 4:52 pm said:
        
        the whole number was 0.04 which is correct and the number of cells is bullshit!
      - Dan on May 7, 2015 at 6:23 pm said:
        
        what do you reckon i do in order to do well in this english paper tmao because so far, i have always had an issue when it came to paper 3 and i want it to end by all means. im hoping for an A in general, but i struggled in paper 2 and didnt finish
      - Annie on May 7, 2015 at 7:12 pm said:
        
        The cells for me were 60 and guys even 0 is a whole no. as it was 0.4…. the whole no. was 0
        P.S. I dont think thats right but still
      - RaodToA*s on May 8, 2015 at 2:05 am said:
        
        0.04 is soo totally not a whole no. omg! ans:0 even if it sounds wierd… language p3 just requires alot of practise and good diction! a few metaphors, similes and personifications to spice up your answer and you’ll never get a grade below B haha

  I felt as if the paper was quite easy to be honest. The league of nations question was a bit tricky. But other than that it was as if they decided to give us marks.
  
  I did the TOV question and the Cold war. And then the question of consolidation of power in Section B.

In the English Language Exam, one task was a letter to a brother. It had said “Begin your letter ‘Dear Bryon’,” however I wrote “Dear Frank,” because I did not read that part. Do you think I will get penalised for this?

  which paper was this? and Im sure a mistake in the name might only cost you one mark unless you used frank in your answer as well!

    no, if you’re unlucky to meet a strict examiner he may mark you as out of topic and put you in band 6 or smthg bc you wrote to frank not brian
