I have written this paper thrice now, and it being the only one…
40, 46 and 49
First two attempts i wasnt very confident, it was ok-ish but this last attempt I was very confident for a pass, i answered 90% of the paper, and all the numerical bits i found extremely easy and answered them in full…
I just cannot believe that it all ended up on a 49% only! impossible
the only reason i can think of is that may be, just may be the examiner did not understand what i had written or done in the workings due to my handwriting becuz of time pressure, but still it never bothered me for any other papers only tthis p4, so I am planning for a review, but iv heard its a waste of money since the paper itself is not re-corrected, its just re-counted, the marks allocated in each question
So finally, getting to the point, I need help, help to pass this once and for all, iv lost all hope! never have I sat a paper in my entire life thrice and not made it! never!!!!!!!

I managed to pass only on my forth attempt. And honestly, I do not think I showed more knowledge, I just changed the approach to how I give answers. For me the trick was to focus on the descriptions and stop caring about calculations so much.
And I also was just crasy about failing the third time as I thought I coped perfectly..) It is just a rather crasy paper. You cannot do it all, so you need to guess what the examiner prefers to see. - AuthorPosts
