Calculus and co-ordinate geometry are my favourite parts of the course, only questions I'm not terrified about.
Regarding the Accounting talk, I don't know how I feel about Interpretation. I think it's a lovely question if you're aiming for a B/C because the ratios are 50ish easy marks (gotta just sit down and learn them, handiest marks ever, bar perhaps Irish leamhthuiscints) but when it comes to the actual interpreting bit the marking scheme seems so specific that I'd say it's very easy to lose marks and I want an A1 so I'm not sure if I'd be happy doing it. I'm gonna do it in the mocks though and see how I get on, and if a question I hate (suspense, I'm looking at you :pac:) comes up in June I'll have little choice!0 -
Is an extra class for Biology really that all that necessary? It's just a matter of learning the textbook like.Yeah I know we had extra Biology class today and when I got back at around 6 all I could bring myself to do was eat! :PBrownBear11 wrote: »Banking on them myself.

I like differentiation. Always seemed very manageable to me. Dislike integration though, not 'cause it's overly hard but 'cause I usually end up making stupid mistakes which leaves me trying to solve it for ages.Found This Fork Sir wrote: »Differentiation and logs are evil, i love co-ordinate geometry and the circle, the only manageable things on the course
Disliked logs when we were doing them but looking back, they too don't seem so awful. The circle can be awkward at times as well, though I usually get there eventually.0 -

Seen this in After Hours- http://www.gizoogle.net/.
Basically, it gives you a ghetto translation of websites. Here's its version of the boards thread "CAO - a few important points!!". 0 -

EDIT: except for probability. That sh!t is cruel.
Fair enough, parts of it are horrible but things DeMoivre's theorem and polar form come up alot in the samples and they're really doable I think
+1 about the probability btw0 -

Hey guys, I know it's late but this is just gonna get on my nerves endlessly if I don't come to some resolution, I stopped working an hour ago and it's still on my mind like.
Was doing some S&S practise there tonight anyway, this one completely evades me though?
The first term of an arithmetic sequence is -12 and the last term is 40. If the sum of the series is 196, find the number of terms in the sequence and the common difference.
It's probably ridiculously simple. I tried out a few things, but yeah, came up with the wrong answer. 0 -

Normally Maths doesn't get finished until the very last few weeks, so don't feel like you're behind!
I know in some private schools where TY is compulsory they're basically finished every course now cause they did a 3 year LC cycle, bit unfair really that they get such a head-start!0 -

My inital thinking was letting Tn = 40 and letting Sn = 196 and trying to manipulate them, but I got horribly lost somewhere!
I did that too, tried to make a simultaneous equation out of it but to no avail, got a fraction. Ah well, at least I know it's a tough question and not just me being dim :pac: 0 -

What I did was, you know a = -12 so I filled that into Tn = a + (n-1)d and let that = 40. Fiddle that around and you've got d in terms of n. I subbed that value for d into Sn = n/2 (2a + (n-1)d) = 196 and tried to get a value for n, but no luck!
I don't know was that a problem with calculations or did I take totally the wrong approach, ill take another look tomorrow. Yep its a tough one alright!
As a matter of interest, where did you get this?0 -
