General Thoughts on 2005 Examination (1 Viewer)

[**BORED**]

it wasnt that hard actually, but i did stuft it up.

I didnt do the drawings and their 8 marks!!!!!!!!

and the winglets, i called them ailerons!!!!!

and as for the induction motor haha, stuft that question up quite nicely too

 

[SDuke]

Yeah i guess it wasnt too bad, nothing frightening...though i'm expecting a band 4 or sumthing, i didnt study at all =(

 

[Seanus1123]

well the mechanics were nice and hard. sorry everyone, but i wish the worst on you so it makes me look better . The material science questions were rediculus, it all depends on how much bull shit they are willing to but i guess.

...that's abit harsh.

 

[Seanus1123]

honesty is the best policy. A mark is only relative so don't pretend you don't want to go better than everybody else, or if going better looks like a slim prospect - everybody going worse than you.

 

[**BORED**]

You guys wana hear whats worse?

Well the telephone booth question came out of the oten notes! And it spoke about the same things too.

Whats going on there?

 

[maric_13]

that first drwing was hell but apart from that it wasnt so bad last years one looked way worse!!!

 

[ballistic_nerd]

If i had actually been learning stuff in the past 2 years, then it would've been easy.

Did most of it, but I know I'm not going to do well.

 

[**BORED**]

does the lifting device turns out to be 25:1 ???

 

[Mole]

Yeah i got 25:1 aswell,
Did alright that half-section drawing was really ugghhhh...
Anybody get similar answers to me :
The extension of the cable 1.61mm
The force in Member AB: 20.62 kN compression
The truck Held 4 cement slabs
Yeah cant think of any others, but what didyou guys get?

 

[Husayn]

I also got 4 and 25.

I got 20 KN for AB, but I don't care as I didn't do the drawings and my short answer responses were mostly half-hearted.

fasting doesn't do wonders for a 2 pm exam...

 

[dancing_unicorn]

just checking

WEll i got pretty much of the same answers (if i remembered correctly) but with the extension of the cable i got a different answer i think i got 3mm or was it my memory playing up again.lol.

 

[**BORED**]

yea except my truck could carry 19 slabs,

work was equal to 8,000,000 joules and then you work it out using work =f.s?

 

[chaotichampster]

No, i got 4 slabs for the truck, and so the rest of our enjo bro's. Spent 50min on the last drawing question cause i needed to waste my time, but I did an awesome job, I wanted to take it home and frame it.

 

[flying_dragon]

Yeh that exam was pretty good to me...we've covered pretty much all those types of questions in class in past year papers.

That last question was nice, too...I spent half an hour last night making sure that I could construct circles in isometric, so I got in there, snapped out my compass right quick and had it done in no time...

Majorly f***ed the truck power question, though...I came up with seven slabs in my working somehow, which seemed right to my mind, cos the diagram had 7 slabs too...thats pretty crappy reasoning, but there you go...

But all in all, a pretty decent exam...

 

[skylinegtts]

yeah i got pretty much similar answers 2 u guys except for the slab questions i got inbetween 3-4 but hopefully i get the marks for all the working coz im sure if i didnt round and shit it would have been the same

 

[Husayn]

Headphones question?

What was the limitations of the Infra-red and Radio wireless ones?

 

[fakingtheday]

Nice exam, shit long, on the hard side. Loved it!

 

[MalaukuS]

Headphones question?

What was the limitations of the Infra-red and Radio wireless ones?

With those ones I said the radio would get more interference from other radio communications. With the infa-red i don't remember what I said, but i pretty much made it up..

 

[robb_doggy]

IR's got dist limitations right?
