    What are the normal thresholds for Physics?

    The physics 32 was kind of tough. What are the minimum marks i need in total to get an A* if I'm giving papers 12, 32 and 62? Thanks!

    What are the normal thresholds for Physics?

    I was going to ask the same thing. Why is it on 200?

    Further Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    Yes, it is possible. You need to be dedicated though. I didn't take Add. Math, but did Further Math anyway. And whether or not you will be able to cope up with FM depends only on you. Haha, it's good that you love Math. FM would be horrific if you didn't. :P

    SAT scores for MIT and HARVARD ?

    Ah, no, the criterion for Scholarships is only Need. All Aid is Need-Based. Your scores have nothing to do with it. Once you get in, they calculate your paying abilities and offer you a package to fill the gap. The important thing is GETTING IN. Good Luck (But then, I don't believe in luck. So...

    STEP

    Hey there. Hmm....You do know that the STEP I is based only on the A-Level Math Syllabus?...:P Crazy, right? STEP II and III, are where FM is really necessary. I'm taking the STEP I and II. Gah, I know, the questions seem to be impossible, but the best practice is just to work through as many as...

    STEP

    Hey, is anyone here taking the STEP Test this year, for Cambridge?...Thought I might create a thread where we can all help each other out.

    Why are we neglecting gravity in Question 2 May/June Paper 2-1 2011? Aren't we supposed to account for all forces?

    It's simple. Once you have p= 0.5435, assume a geometric distribution and calculate p(X=n) for n=1,2,3,4,5... p(x>=6) can be found using 1-p(x<6). Then, E(x)=np, so, for example, E(X=1)= 100p(X=1). Just do that for all of them.

    Further Math! How'd it go?

    So, Pure Math's done now. Stats and Mechanics left. How did all your papers go?

    Gosh, and can somebody please post up all the vector distance formulas? :/ I'm still rather struggling with the concept of Vector projection and calculating distances. Are there any specific notes or tips for that?

    Haha, preps going good. I hope so, lol. And your question's simple really. You just have to pay attention to the wording and your diagram. Now, the diagram should be simple enough, just use your protractor, scale and calculator. Label both curves and the intersection point. It helps. Next...

    Exactly, essentially, for the diagonal to limit to 0, mod(7/k)<1. Solving that leads easily to the above answer.

    When neither of the variances have been given, and the test involves both distributions, you calculate a Pooled- Variance. Otherwise, the variances will be stated to be different.

    Well, thanks a lot, mate. I realized that I screwed up in 2 places. One, I tried using the Cos Rule to find x, which...sucks. I ended up with this pathetic, useless expression in terms of cos theta. And next, I was using F=ma, instead of C=I (angular a), which just further complicates things...

    Ow, crap. Sorry, I made a mistake. I meant Q 11 (Mechanics) from Paper 2 October/November 2007. :/ But thanks for replying anyway.

    Further Mathematics: Post your doubts here!

    That depends on how hard you're willing to work, how much help you have, and how good you are. Anyway, how does one derive the expression shown in Q11 (Mechanics) from Oct/Nov 2006? I keep deriving offshoots of it, but never exactly that.

    Um, Hey there. :P Lol, a belated-Happy Birthday to you. Gosh, my first time on here in a while...
