It is a safe rule to apply that, if a mathematical or philosophical author writes with a misty profundity, he is talking nonsense.

428745 2006-02-12 00:48:00 There will be tons of formulas that need to be memorise - believe me, you won't have time to refer to the formulae sheet in the exam.
No way. You dont need to remember any formula's, except for the ones that you need to make up your self. It takes 2 seconds to glance at your formulae sheet.

If you have one of those graphics calculators, and you know how to use it, you have passed with an achieve.

I managed that maths part of physics quite well, but i wasnt too good with the explaining part, this is where i went wrong. So really learn your theorical (sp) parts.

Last years NCEA Level 3 Physics exam was a nightmare.

428746 2006-02-12 05:38:00 Two seconds to read the question, two seconds to look for the formulae sheet (it is buried under heaps of papers), two more to look for the formulae in that sheet, two more to think how to use that formulae, then two more to copy down the formulae to the exam paper before substituting the variables. I still think it is convenient to get out the formulae from your head. :D Level 3 Physics seems, out of a sudden, very interesting to me - I have glanced through the whole book; in particular, mechanics is pretty interesting. There has been a change of the total credits provided by Physics, though.

Cheers :)

428747 2006-02-12 08:07:00 Pffft... It's a waste of time remembering the formulae, whilst your looking for the formula, you already know what you're looking for in terms of variables. And if you're struggling that much in the exam that you don't have time to look for the formula sheet, your brain probably doesn't have the capacity to remember the formulae. roddy_boy (4115)

Exactly.

428749 2006-02-12 09:05:00 I only had to remember the basic formula. Transposition was dead easy. In fact I lost marks for not working a formula thro to show how it was done. Boring. Now?? Whats a Formula?? PJ Poppa John (284)
