In Egypt, there is an IGCSE (International general certificate of secondary education) and we get grades by SMS.....The current IGCSE system follows the Cambridge syllabus which isn't really different than the London syllabus....and neither is IGCSE from GCSE.

I'm well into my last year and I now have

OLs: Math: *

physics: *

IT: *

Accounting: *

Chemistry: *

Language: A (I have no idea how I got an A here!)

Biology: A (and I guess I wanted a * here but A is just as awesome)

AS: Math: A

Biology: A

I'm planning on finishing 4 ALs (taking A2 math and AS physics right now) and hopefully get a scholarship.

What really may hold me back is the fact that I have to take 8 OLs because in case I don't get a scholarship, I'll resort to GUC (German university in Cairo) which requires me to have 8 OLs in addition to at least 2 ALs

That is basic similarity so its a matter of ratios:

length ratio of small triangle to the large one= 9/12 which is 3:4

so

3:4

6:(6+x)

then its basic cross multiplication

x will equal 2

But that is a stupid long way through...you can bascially calculate all this in your mind

In the UK it is time to start preparing for GCSE's (General Certficate of Seconday Education). These exams are taken by 15-16 years olds in 'Year 11', they also mark the end of compulsory education for us  :)

Has anyone started revising yet? Im doing little bits (consists of watching Bitesize videos lol) and I plan to do a bit more next week. I find it really hard to revise, I often just read things and I cant even remember what I have just read  :pinch:

Anyway what are your opinions/tips? Have you started preparing yourself for the exams?

P.S. My first exam is on May 18th (Spanish Speaking  :( )

You should try writing it all out for studying, its what i do. I cant really read a book and remember it all, have to keep writing it out over and over. Of course different people prefer different methods - our learning types are of course different.

you lot seriosuly need to all stop worrying. Gcse results are, 90% of the time, MUCH better than you were predicted or thought they would be.

Moderation is your friend. If the whole country is generally crap at a subject then you can get an A with only about 50%...

put it like this, in 2002, on intermediate maths you needed to get 19%, yes 19% to get a grade C.

Less worried now?

And they wonder why the grades go up every year. hmmmmmmm

    • I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
