Physics IGCSE Grades/Paper 1 etc

[DowntownCrew]

the answer was the sinusoidal graph = the one with the ups and downs

The one that looks like a wave ?! That question came in pastpapers lol

I also made 6-7 dumb mistakes , I better don't talk about them ... I will need C and let's say I get 30/40 , that comes like 22.5 % in total .. enough for C ?

If you get 6-7 Dumb mistakes thats enough for an A

I found 7-8 mistakes , I'm sure about 28 correct answers , hope it's enough.The least grade I have to get is D , but I want C.

What about that question about the ice I think the two blocks of ice should be at the bottom

 

[Gunner1995]

Nope its at the top. As convectional current. Hot air(less dense) rises and so places it on the top will make the cool air go down..

Hey guys..
How do you know that lasts year paper 1 A* was 35?
When i check lasts year threshold. it starts from A and then C etc.. how do you know about the A*?
Please tell me ..
ive done well in this paper 1 exam as most of the questions were repeated .. i think i will lose from 2-3 marks inshallah...
Im just confused about the atmospheric pressure question..
Some say that atomospheric pressure is same and others say that pressure at X is same.
I wanna know the answerrrr !!!
& please somebody tell me about the A* threshold thing . Thanks

 

[Gunner1995]

A* is about half way between A and full mark... And Im not sure about atmospheric pressure. I only know im wrong.. I wrote same pressure on both days.. I need to stop checking these boards and seeing any new mistakes.. 5 already, depressed and need to focus on next exam. bye

Guys the least grade I have to get is D , how many marks have to be gained to achieve that ??

 

[KareemXPF]

Paper 1 : 21-25
Paper 3 : 19-28
Paper 6 : 17-22

 

[DowntownCrew]

Paper 1 : 21-25
Paper 3 : 19-28
Paper 6 : 17-22

Thanks Kareem , I hope that's for sure or 80 % true..
I took more in paper 1 , for sure ... In paper 6 I can get around 30 at least , only paper 3 is hard so I can't say really ...
I'm just wondering about paper 3 , if it has 80 marks maximum (right ?!) , 28 is less than 50 % of it , how can I get D with 28 then ? :/

hey guys in paper 1 physics there was a question which asked what does a capacitor store? current or energy?

Charge

 

[KareemXPF]

no it says .. does capacitor stores current or energy
the answer is energy .. btw which variant was your exam?

I didn't have that question in my exam , mine was variant 1.

 

[KareemXPF]

Oh so in variant 1 it was charges instead of energy.. cause im variant 2 ... so you are correct cause charges & energy are the same ..

 

[KareemXPF]

Well..
What about the question that says .. which lamps will lit when switch is closed..
i answered On Off On
some says its On On On ... im so confused about it

 

[DowntownCrew]

I think there was a same question from this paper http://www.xtremepapers.me/CIE/Cambridg ... 5_qp_1.pdf question 9 ... there was something else instead of transformer given in the answers .. you guys remember it ?
