[hope4thebest]

AlphaBeta brother how is your preparation especially of the algorithms?

 

[chathumus]

AlphaBeta WHAT IS MY SCHOOL DOING? I'm pretty sure Lyceum didn't make this mistake! I really like my teacher though I can't believe she didn't notice.

 

[chathumus]

And its not a good time to know a new thing I also thought I am done with the syllabus before seeing this

Yeah its the worst time! I'm so depressed now! I had hopes of getting at least an A

what was ur As grades and how was project

what was ur As grades and how was project

I don't know my project grading but AS was an A but now that i realized the flipping syllabus is different im not sure what we may have missed out on in the coursework Made sure i did everything (indexes in the user guide, glossarys and all those annoying stuff) only to find out its the wrong syllabus. I can't tell you how depressed I am right now

what was ur As grades and how was project

And what was your AS grade?

 

[chathumus]

I can;t remember my mark exactly but it wasnt a high A now I'm properly screwed.

dont worry believe in ALLAH!
You did all the hard work so no need to worry

 

[chathumus]

Have they asked questions on Asymmetric encryption lately? I've done past papers from 2006 and I dont recall seeing a qs

No

 

[hope4thebest]

In oct nov 13 they did ask for some definitions cipher text encryption algorithm etc but that belongs to symmetric encryption of cource

 

[hope4thebest]

Thank you

when they ask for largest positive value or smallest positive value in floating pt do we have to consider normalised form of exponent also? AlphaBeta

yup

AlphaBeta brother how is your preparation especially of the algorithms?

according to paper 2 and paper 1 , which i did this month , they are asking more questions on logic than ever before , just get the logic of how all the algorithms work

there is not much difference in the 2014 syllabus and 2013 syllabus , only the 2015 syllabus has major differences, thats why they gave a specimen paper

So basically expect loads of dry running and having to write out algorithms for Binary Trees, Linked Lists and Sortings? Well, hell.

 

[chathumus]

Oh yeah and I bet some messed up backtracking with a nonsensical rule that probably contradicts heh

 

[chathumus]

AlphaBeta Here's the short version of Insertion to Linked list algo.

 

[chathumus]

AlphaBeta but then they tell you what the //s are so yeah i think you have to write it all out
