Omg so me and my friend were more or less in the same boat, yano, like dreading the LC, feeling unprepared, telling each other about how little study we were doing and just generally panicking together! :P
Then just there now, I find out from another friend that the 1st friend is doing 12 HOURS PER DAY!!!!!! :O
Like wtf? I'm just kinda annoyed like because he was saying about how he was so screwed and doing no study etc and me there thinking 'great I'm not alone' but then this comes out!
Like fair play in doing 12 hours, but sweet mother WHY lie about it? I wish he had of told me rather than stringing along with it

This time 3 weeks I'll be off having a few drinks in celebration. It's really scary though, it feels like only last week I was saying "This day 3 MONTHS"
Not too worried about the first week though in fairness. English is fine and I'm feeling super confident about maths paper 1 all of a sudden. The Monday and Tuesday of the second week will be a killer, but after that I've only 3 more and they're all nicely spaced out.0 -

I hate people who do that. :mad: Like why would you lie?? Jesus if you're studying away then respect! People seem to think it's horrendously embarrassing to actually be studying. :rolleyes: Yeah totes morto I'm working really hard and I'm going to get my course - cringe or what!! It's a joke. :cool:0 -

Yep, last exam is businessMysteriouschic wrote: »You're so lucky you're off in two weeks?
are you serious about repeating lol? don't give up yet before it's even begun.
Lol it crosses my mind tbh - I wont have a problem getting 400ish points for my course but maths worries me. It's unlikely but I cant write it off, I'll start swallowing my pride now rather than in August. Everyone's expecting me to do really well so I'm trying to get rid of that image 
Might happen, might not like! :P
It doesnt have to be done by geometry does it? I learned it by calculus but my teacher actually did a way simpler one today. It was find the turning points of the graph when dy/dx = -2/(x+2)^2. That can never equal 0, so you've proved by contradiction that there cant possibly be turning pointsJonnyMcNamee wrote: »Any HL Maths peeps have a version of the geometry proof by contradiction that they could PM me?

All you guys and yer '3 weeks'...2 weeks here! :P
I'll be in America while yous finish your leaving :pac: Whisked away :rolleyes:
But then again I'll be repeating while you're all in college so I wont have the last laugh :P
We talked about this mister :P You will not be repeating you'll be off to college next year You need to have more confidence in yourself patch
If anyone will be repeating, it will be the girl who decided to have a part time job the last 2 years :P0 -

Derp, sent you the PM and then realised that you said geometry. Sorry :P0 -

Do we only need one example for this, or two? My teacher gave us two but I only know one?0 -

Just do your best and see what happens then and if you do feel really not confident with maths maybe you could drop to ordinary and just get like a C/B in it unless you really need the points. You could have a look at the ordinary just incase you on the day you decide not to go ahead with the honours. You've been working hard at the honours you might as well stick with it with all the effort you've put in.0 -
Nah but there is one you can do by Geometry and it's fairly easy AFAIK. :rolleyes: I know one using logs and one letting root 2 be irrational but I just wanted to have a gander at the geometry one to see what the craic wasYep, last exam is business Lol it crosses my mind tbh - I wont have a problem getting 400ish points for my course but maths worries me.

You've been working hard at the honours you might as well stick with it with all the effort you've put in. The 4% fail rate makes me feel better anyway and I got a C3 in the mock, I think its more the idea of failing when I know I could easily pass OL thats worrying me haha. I dont need the points is the thing, but I dont wanna count history Could never drop on the day though or even now tbh, its too close :P Yeah I have been, I guess you're right Come what may :P
Oh god that root 2 one's awful! The differentiation one I posted is actually lovely, but the other calculus one I learned is more detailed. I know it now but I wouldnt advise learning it anyway :pac: My book actually just says "x > 10. x > 15. we cannot directly disprove this but we can show that x > 11 creates a contradiction", seems very basicJonnyMcNamee wrote: »Nah but there is one you can do by Geometry and it's fairly easy AFAIK. :rolleyes: I know one using logs and one letting root 2 be irrational but I just wanted to have a gander at the geometry one to see what the craic was 0 -

Oh lads did anyone see s club 7s reunion video? It's shocking. It's just Jo, Bradley and Paul!! It's not the same without Rachel, Tina, Hannah and Jon!
Oh dear it's probably sad that I know all of their names (and songs). But they were such a big part of my childhood :P
Omg I saw the video S club 3 they're so awful apart from Bradley.
They're ruining the songs now they don't all sing in tune. I used to love S Club. It feels weird watching 3 sing the song and not 6/7.
Did you see the video of them singing live?0 -

Ah, it's not that bad once you understand the logic behind it! There's one with logs too and it's pretty easy imho! And don't worry about Maths! I failed the mock and I'm feeling pretty confident! My main problem was I had done no work for Maths ever and only started about two months ago. I've every Paper 1 and Paper 2 done that I could get my hands on so I'm feeling pretty good about it all! Will be absolutely gutted if I don't get at least a C3 tbhI cant imagine why we'd need two
