I'm in a bit of dilemma here. My physics paper 6 didn't go well. It wasn't hard but I went in with a extremely heavy head and no calculator and consequently couldn't do/take simple measurements effectively. Is A* a goner for me even if I, theoretically at least, do the other two papers pitch perfect?

Any help?

Nope its not gone... Let me tell you something.. Even I messed up my paper today.. I mite just get 30+ from 35! + The other 2 paper holds 80% and if you do well in these then you have a chance.. I checked the gt of the pass 2 papers and the gt are.. 151 and 149 for A* so lets say you get 25/40.. it will give.. 12.5/20... in paper 1 you get 35/40... you get 26.25 and even if you get 65/80 in p3 you can still get A* but it also depends on the gt of this year.

Relief. So they mark you A* based on the whole exam rather than individual components? Why do GT of past papers then mention the minimum marks required for A for individual components? What if I get less than that in the individual component (paper 6 in this case)?

Thanks.

I dont know what Individual marking is for.. I guess its for self convenience of the boards or If the student missed one paper he might be given the individual component marking rather than giving the whole component.. Thats my Guess. :)

Done with the exam..
It was extremely easy which makes me worried about paper 3 :|.. The only questions I have doubt in doing wrong was that thermometer 1*C measurement and the "State if length a = length b and justify your answer" in light chapter:D
