A levels 2008! Where is everyone??
-
this yr i think A levels is going to be dam screwed. worst cohort ever.
last yr's subject papers were chicken feet.
finish the 07math paper in 2+hrs. this yr's paper i'm didn't manage to attempt alot of marks. seriously screwed math. hope P2 will be easier, else die...
bio is screwed also. din attempt 30 marks...
ya, frm wad i heard, all the subject papers are killer. h2 hist, geog, cll, math, phy and bio.
looking from the trend, the subsequent papers are going to be imba as well.
i think maybe it's got to do with complaints about cambridge A levels being too easy back in UK, so they raise the standards. (they were even thinking of setting A* grade for scoring 90% and above) wth.
SEAB is going to do serious moderations if they expect to maintain the A-rate and passing rate....
-
deathmaster, you are already contemplating with death even before entering the battlefield. what an ironic name "deathmaster"... -_-''
-
i guess it's harder now to achieve any more 90+% like few years ago le :(
-
chem today is surprisingly easy, as compared to te other subject papers.
so i think monday's paper 2 would be a killer instead.
and apparently RJC seems to have "spot" correctly the emphasis in p3 this yr.
4/5 qsns are organic chem. was thinking that RJ must be crazy to mfocus so much on organic chem in their prelims. (also 4/5 qsns organic chem.)
-
im damn upset.i think i could do the chem paper. but i wasnt in the right state of mind. I FREAKING OVERSLEPT CAN. seriously what was i thinking. there was a traffic jam. i reached school at 8, dashed across the field and up the stairs, with the whole cohort staring, watch me walk to my seat. damn malu, can?! omg. seriously. and that already affected my mood. didnt finish the paper in the end. on the last question, i switched from qns 2 to qns 5 with only fifteen minutes left. wtf. didnt attempt the first two parts of qns 5 on the catalyst one. what the shit. im seriously cannot make it already. im damn upset. im not like those arseholes who complain complain complain, kpkb then in the end still do ok. im seriously screwed

I think because last yr got so many pple getting not bad results and were rejected from local university. And parents will write to MOE and Straits Times to complain their son/daughter blabla got A B C, or B B B but got rejected by NUS, NTU, SMU.
Probably the authorities wanted to ensure this doesnt happen again and thats why they are making the papers extremely tough, so only the creme de la cream gets to uni with their well-deserved scores.
Seriously many people gonna get screwed. -
well,maybe the standards to get into uni will lower as well thats's like inflation,lol math paper 2 tmr.last chance to save my math :(

i think its alternate. last year easy this year hard. its true across all subjects

The alternate trend is just a myth, i think.
I heard of this ever since my PSLE days and i doubt its true. 07's A Level papers are easier to manage probably because its the first year this H1,H2,H3 system rolls in.
It will look better on their part by making it managable rather than making the papers tough on its first year. In a way, people will tend to "accept" this syllabus; only then, for subsequent years they might regulate the difficulty level.My humble two cents.
-
yeah that might be the case, too bad for us then
-
I heard that every year the people far away who set the questions are different. That may be the reason for the varying difficulty.
-
Aiya one year they say the paper is too easy so they set harder for the next year. And then next year, they heard its hard so they will set easier for the next batch. And the cycle goes on and on and on.
Some people start to read this without knowing what it was. And now they have got to read it forever just because its an article that never ends and it goes on and on and on.

Seriously though, People who thought that last year paper was easy and believe that this year paper will also be easy are tards.

The questions set by foreigners will still be moderated within SEAB, nevertheless.

Simple question on Kinematics:
A photographer wishes to check the time for which the shutter on a camera stays open when a photograph is being taken. To do this, a metal ball is photographed as it falls from rest. It is found that before the shutter opens, the balls falls 2.50 m from rest and, during the time that the shutter remains open, the ball falls a further 0.12 m, as illustrated in the figure on the right. Assuming that air resistance is negligible, calculate
(i) the speed of the ball after falling 2.50m,
(ii) the time to fall the further 0.12m.
The time for which the shutter stays open is marked on the camera as 1/160 s. Comment on whether the test confirms this time. -
Simple Question on Dynamics
A particle is suspended from a point A by an inextensible string of length l. It is projexted from B with a velocity V, perpendicular to AB, which is just sufficient for it to reach the point C.
(a) Show that, if the string is just to be taut when the particle reaches C, its speed there is.
(b) Find the speed V with which the particle should be projected from B. -

like that, I may not get A liao lor for my A levels.

this question was part of my revision lecture last time... as a simple example only... Not the full A level question yet...

forgot to add
answers on examworld
Very little on A level stuff at the moment... Need to build up...

this year so hard! screw them!

isnt that a tys qns?Originally posted by eagle:

did u complete all?if not, how many marks did u leave blank?
-
I left a lot of blanks maybe 20+ marks? And the rest I squeezed out some answers which are totally wrong. Only can do the 1st q. The rest totally cannot make it! Even the genetic cross q!
