1st Physics exam..

..and it felt fine. I don't know how I did, but it felt fine.

The electricity question was the hour one, and it asked about diodes before forgetting about them, and I got my intercept wrong (I had c=0 - oops!). Springs and Kinetic Energy were fine (though apparently I was supposed to repeat), and I got my graph right on Q2 - asymptote to both axis.

- Parvati/Neville/Lavander smut. My brain is fried. XD

Ask me if you ever want extremely simple formulas that you probably won't have learned yet. I mean, you know the way school works, they always make you learn the old stuff first and then give you the simple formulas later. Like E = m+K, where M is rest energy. I don't know if you're into special relativity yet, but it's formulas are a hell of a lot more sensical and simple than newtonian mechanics which is usually what you're doing towards the end of highschool in AP. Good luck on the exam! Have you chosen a University yet?

The exam was this morning. ^_^;;

Heh, in the first question I was trying to remember which of the constant acceleration equations linked velocity, distance and time, completely forgetting about v=s/t because we hadn't seen it since GCSE, lol.

That's probably why people tell you that A2 is the hardest that you ever learn - they just don't tell you the simple stuff!

My top two are St. Andrews and York - St. Andrews just because, and York because of the intigrated year abroad and spiffy course setup. ^_^
