00:00 - 00:03 | As we all know, the Core 1 exam was earlier today. |
00:04 - 00:05 | We had done several past papers. |
00:05 - 00:07 | And were well prepared. |
00:08 - 00:12 | Core 1 is of course the easiest paper... |
00:12 - 00:15 | The past papers were fairly easy. The same questions every year. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Yes, indeed. |
00:19 - 00:21 | Always surds, circles, optimisation... |
00:24 - 00:26 | Sir... |
00:27 - 00:28 | The optimisation... |
00:31 - 00:33 | The optimisation question was based on the volume of a cylinder. |
00:34 - 00:36 | With an open top. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Those doing FP1, leave. M1, D1, S1... stay. |
01:13 - 01:15 | AN OPEN TOP?! |
01:15 - 01:17 | This isn't a reading comprehension test! |
01:18 - 01:23 | Why add an unnecessary layer to a calculus question?! |
01:25 - 01:28 | Bloody differentiation! |
01:29 - 01:31 | Bloody stationary points! |
01:31 - 01:34 | And expressing h in terms of r... |
01:34 - 01:37 | How does that test what I have learned in AS maths?! |
01:37 - 01:40 | What about the revision I did! The past papers! |
01:40 - 01:42 | It's GCSE geometry and subbing in... |
01:42 - 01:46 | YOU WHAT? I DID NOT REVISE GCSE! |
01:46 - 01:48 | Sir, you must apply your knowledge... |
01:48 - 01:52 | Yeah? On an open topped cylinder?! |
01:53 - 01:54 | Not a cuboid?! |
01:56 - 01:57 | I mean, is that even on the spec? |
01:57 - 02:00 | All that is on the spec... |
02:00 - 02:03 | And they ask about a cylinder! |
02:04 - 02:08 | In terms of r! |
02:08 - 02:13 | And require the 'positive value' of r! |
02:14 - 02:16 | Optimisation questions never required that before. |
02:17 - 02:21 | Not on any past papers! AQA are worse than Stalin! |
02:27 - 02:29 | It could have gone so well. |
02:30 - 02:34 | I could've been on track for an A. |
02:34 - 02:36 | Pulled from under me. |
02:41 - 02:42 | Forget it. |
02:43 - 02:47 | Hell, I might as well just drop AS Maths. |
02:48 - 02:53 | Beats doing Core 3 and Core 4 next year. |
02:54 - 02:56 | Not forgetting Core 2 in a week. |
02:56 - 02:59 | Better start revising cylinders! |
03:00 - 03:02 | With a volume of log(V)! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry. It won't come up again. |
03:14 - 03:16 | God knows how many marks it was. |
03:19 - 03:23 | At least I got the stationary point stuff. |
03:25 - 03:26 | I hope. |
03:31 - 03:33 | I'm sure I did. |
03:40 - 03:46 | You know if you didn't express h correctly in terms of r... |
03:46 - 03:49 | You couldn't show the expression for V. |
03:53 - 03:56 | Save us grade boundaries. |
