CIE is running out of questions.

[Doggybros]

It happened in chemistry paper 12.
I noticed that some questions had been repeated in the 2011 papers(belonging to 2002-2008 papers) and so I thought that might happen again. So I studied only past papers and i was right! Around 15 questions or so were from the past papers in the exam i gave the next day, of chemistry.

SO I THINK THIS WILL HAPPEN IN PHYSICS.
5 questions or so have been repeated in the w11 papers. So I think loads more will be repeated this time.

And one friendly advice: If there is anything related with elastic collisions and graphs, the answer is usually the one with the symmetrical graph. Just something I noticed, dont mock me if you already know.

Yea I saw the same thing for economics, they repeated like 7 questions.. they're not running out of questions on a whole just for multiple choice. Think of how hard it is to think of 30-40 fresh questions every year, even with a team of people it might be pretty difficult.

 

[Nisrit Pandey]

yeah in both economics and chemistry it was the case

Twice* every year.

theyr not running out of questions, it happens every year....like 10-15 questions are repeated, they wanna make it a little bit easier for people who actually studied.

From which year should I concentrate more?

From which year should I concentrate more?

Every year! You still have 10 or 12 days or something like that. If you do 5 or 6 papers per day, you'll finish everything.
It isn't that CIE is repeating questions from any particular year. In chemistry, the questions repeated ranged from 2002 to 2011! So basically, everything!!!

haa dammit, this hardly helps then. WHy did he make the thread ? We were goona do all the papers anyways lol

Some people leave out the questions earlier than 2007 because there was a syllabus change then. But everything is important. Everyone probably isn't going for all the papers.

just do papers... practise em.... and your best to enter the war .... MCQs check alot of ur concepts and thinking so.... refer to notes,books etc if you feel you lack anythng ..... I hope we all get A*s Ameen best of luck everybody

 

[Doggybros]

Even if they are repeating y do u ppl want to make a discussion out of it making it come into their notice so that they can start kicking ppl again

Who cares? The paper's already made for us, it aint changing and probably has loads of repeated questions, just waiting to be plucked. If they notice(and some action is taken, which is a remote possibility in itself), then the next batch of students after us are gonna get affected, and why do we need to give a crap about them?

Yeah, but I don't think there is a A* in AS levels.

This thread is not all that meaningless, compared to those who predict GTs for exams. At least its a discussion about something real.

i know ... some people are giving AS and A levels.... so they have to get A*s .... at the end.... cuz if you get better grades in as then in a2 and you get most probably A*s at the end?

What are GTs?

 

[leosco1995]

What are GTs?

Grade Thresholds, the minimum marks required to obtain grades. For example, some people think that an A in the MCQ paper would be around 31/40, B would be 26/40, etc.

do ny1 ov u have any guess paper of eco, a/cs or business studies or any imp topics especially for a/cs

 

[xtremity]

guys can you suggest me, how hard it would be if i take physics subject as a private candidate, especially in practical portion?

 

[Doggybros]

do ny1 ov u have any guess paper of eco, a/cs or business studies or any imp topics especially for a/cs

The best guess papers are the past papers themselves. No other paper is quite as similar as to what you'll get in exams.
