Miguel Sanchez Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 Oh and I also had to sit the Foundation computing exam in Standard grade (and the General one). It was almost offensive in how simple it was. One of the questions had 4 pictures (keyboard, mouse, monitor and hard drive) and the 4 terms for them. You had to match them up..Standard grade craft and design was the same. Pretty sure for that I had to sit all three levels of exam for some reason, foundation has questions that had a picture of a hammer then four options for what it was. "Hammer." "Bandsaw." "File." "Clamp." "Christ." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so shit at it (I failed my general and credit prelim) yet somehow managed to get a 2 in the exam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Prince Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Those questions give me the fear, f**k even trying to begin to answer those.

Mr Bairn Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 That's kind of the whole point, though. We should be comparing with the expected CFE standard - it's a CFE Higher. There are just too many daft wee things in it that a C candidate will not pick up on. There's a derivative question that's dT/dt, too many folk will integrate it with respect to x, not t. There's a compound angle question involving tan2x, which is easy if you realise that tan2x = sin2x/cos2x, but loads of folk won't. Here are some of the harder questions: zebra.png That's an insane question to give a 16-year old. Thing is - what's the first part even asking? Time taken to do what? Swim across? Eat the zebra? Start talking about upstreams and you've got folk thinking it's a vector question. Am I correct in saying: a) (i) Calculate T(20) (ii) Calculate T(0) b) Minimise T with respect to X 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sooky Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I was finished school being utterly shite at maths. Which is strange, because I used to be good at it. First couple years at high school I was on a fast track course and whilst the I found it tough, it was manageable. Things started getting a bit worse during Standard Grade but much to my surprise I was able to get a 2 in my Credit exam. So in fifth yeah I decided to take Higher and it was probably the worst subject choice I made at school. Right from the start I was struggling with it and anytime I was beginning to get the hang of something, we moved onto something even more challenging and I couldn't keep up. Didn't help that our teacher kept on saying that he expected about 6 of the class of 30 to get an A or a B. Actually dreaded going to maths in 5th year! So unsurprisingly I failed in 5th year and didn't bother trying again in 6th year. For someone who was much more into subjects like history and English, I figured that a credit pass in standard grade maths would probably do me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
