00:00 - 00:03 | Today was the date of the OCR MEI Mechanics 1 paper |
00:04 - 00:05 | The exam was attended by the majority of candidates, |
00:05 - 00:07 | and their answer booklets were delivered to this destination at 18:00 (BST). |
00:08 - 00:12 | In the aftermath of recent results for MEI M1 candidates, |
00:12 - 00:15 | it is expected that this year's candidates will experience similar success. |
00:17 - 00:19 | The past papers were relatively easy, |
00:19 - 00:21 | so the exam should have been a breeze. |
00:24 - 00:26 | My Führer, |
00:27 - 00:28 | MEI.. |
00:31 - 00:33 | MEI made this paper much harder than recent papers |
00:34 - 00:36 | The questions were designed to challenge students |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everyone who takes Further Maths and M2 and found the paper easy, leave the room now. |
01:13 - 01:15 | What am I supposed to do now? |
01:15 - 01:17 | I've already had enough of Mechanics! |
01:18 - 01:23 | I swear if I have to retake the test at the end of next year, |
01:25 - 01:28 | I will stone the premises of OCR's headquarters |
01:29 - 01:31 | But I won't miss like Mr McGregor missed that pigeon |
01:31 - 01:34 | I will apply maximum velocity and I will bring that bomb that they used to screw us all over on Q7 |
01:34 - 01:37 | Then I will hurl any survivors down Piran's useless mineshaft |
01:37 - 01:40 | Whether it's 200m or 150m deep, Mr McGregor can die there too |
01:40 - 01:42 | My Führer the standard has been set for the upcoming generation of Mechanics students |
01:42 - 01:46 | Well then they're all going to flop the test, you can't be genuinely serious! |
01:46 - 01:48 | My Führer, all the questions in the paper were doable - |
01:48 - 01:52 | You can't be serious you heartless, dishonest OCR official representative agent ambassador |
01:53 - 01:54 | All of us are going to fail! |
01:56 - 01:57 | I swear if I decide to explode that bomb on OCR's headquarters, |
01:57 - 02:00 | the horizontal component of the bomb's acceleration will not be zero |
02:00 - 02:03 | and as for the acceleration of the bomb when d = 6.75 |
02:04 - 02:08 | I will make it tend to infinity, and as for the stones, I will make sure they destroy the windows with terminal velocity |
02:08 - 02:13 | OCR and Edexcel continue to get away with ruining people's lives, year after year. |
02:14 - 02:16 | The last question took me half an hour to understand |
02:17 - 02:21 | And if any of you come up to me and say I had to use definite integration for model C - I'll jab you |
02:27 - 02:29 | Why did they have to do this to me? |
02:30 - 02:34 | Exams have put me through the mill, and this paper has done nothing to help my blood pressure |
02:34 - 02:36 | OCR have put me on life support |
02:41 - 02:42 | Why 2016? |
02:43 - 02:47 | Nearly every M1 pupil since 1999 has had the Mechanics paper easy, but it had to be 2016 that OCR made it impossible. |
02:48 - 02:53 | I vow to personally write a petition of complaint and get every MEI M1 student to sign it |
02:54 - 02:56 | But I will most likely lose marks on that as well |
02:56 - 02:59 | Who's idea was it to make Q7 'challenging' |
03:00 - 03:02 | and make us all lose 15+ marks in one go?! |
03:04 - 03:07 | It's OK Alaine, they'll have to lower the grade boundaries. |
03:14 - 03:16 | All my hours revising Mechanics came to nothing. |
03:19 - 03:23 | Next year, I'm going to have to go through all that again. |
03:25 - 03:26 | And fail. |
03:31 - 03:33 | As long as OCR still exist |
03:40 - 03:46 | I hope that on results day in August I can somehow get an acceptable grade for Mechanics and not have to retake |
03:46 - 03:49 | because I've had enough of vectors and pulleys |
03:53 - 03:56 | Otherwise I'll consider studying mitochondria again. |
