is the A* still possible?
I do edexcel and long story short the exam pressure got to me and made me make quite a lot of silly mistakes. When doing all the past papers in timed conditions i was getting between 70-84% but in the actual exam I just made so many silly errors that led to me getting incorrect answers. Questions that I know I messed up are: the monkey question because I assumed the parabola would reach the point where the monkey started despite finding the angle correctly using the 2 velocities and realising that I would need to use trig to find the vertical distance, the capacitor drawing graph I panicked since it started at 5/e and didnt adjust the equation using transformations despite realising it and I also didn't account for the extra resistor when the other switch was closed, changing RC. The proton and neutrino colliding question, I read that the proton was stationary and yet when asked to make an equation for the interaction I didn't put the proton on both sides despite realising that B wasn't conserved and that the proton was moving. And finally for the electron ionisisiton energy, I used the magnitude for the electric potential energy instead of including the - sign so I got an incorrect energy calculation that otherwise would've been correct had I actually used the correct value. Is the A* even still possible? does anyone have advice for future exams? It's so frustrating working so hard all year and doing so well just to muck it up in the actual thing.
