Okay that was suspiciously easy.

Brilliant exam couldn't be happier

everything I hoped for came up and nothing too difficult! still annoyed that I'm more than likely not going to get my A because on Paper 1 :mad:

westernfrenzy · 08-06-2015 12:04PM

Seemed nicer than P1. Probably got a lot wrong though

bmea · 08-06-2015 12:11PM

What was the slope of P? I just had to make it up which would have lost me a few marks

Jijsaw · 08-06-2015 12:13PM

Grand paper, now for Irish.

I believe it was -1, it told you they were both equally spaced or whatever so I just gave it the points (5,0) and (0,5) then used the slope formula

1 I think?

Upward sloping from left to right so would it not be positive?

bmea · 08-06-2015 12:16PM

Ya it would have been positive

I was thinking that myself but i got -1 when i worked it out

probably made a small mistake :P

It was 1. It was split equally. Perpendicular slope was -1.

blobcat · 08-06-2015 12:21PM

Was not too bad.. hopefully pass- worthy. Only thing was I don't remember ever doing enlargements.. threw in some numbers and drew a triangle.. praying for some attempt marks there

if832uspx4eogt · 08-06-2015 12:23PM

I thought the enlargement question was lovely, if I did it right.

matii10 · 08-06-2015 12:25PM

Same here. Never done enlargements and just guessed that the large triangle is 1.5 times bigger than the small one.

TheSunderz · 08-06-2015 12:27PM

yeh was very easy tbh only part I wasnt sure on was question 9 part e on that formula thing or trial. Actually what did people get for the equation on the secound circle, radios wise ?

ko3p · 08-06-2015 12:30PM

Slope was 1. All you had to do was get Tan45.

Jimmy420 · 08-06-2015 12:32PM

What was the Empirical Rule?

electromix · 08-06-2015 12:36PM

so much better than paper 1. Want to pass so bad.

Famoso · 08-06-2015 12:37PM

I hadn't a clue of the Slope of P, so just picked 3 and continued on doing the rest of the question with that slope. Will I still get a few marks?

It just states that, in a normal distribution, 99.7% of data will fall within three standard deviatons of the mean. You can break it down into 68% within one SD and 95% within two SDs.

I picked 2, and you only lose marks for the first part, you'll be marked correctly for the rest (assuming you did the question right.)

NoDruidsPlease · 08-06-2015 12:40PM

Paper two was exactly what I needed, might actually pass maths now.

andreideeu · 08-06-2015 01:54PM

For the very first question was it 10! diveded by 6 ???? Or 10x10x10x10x10x10 ????

Oh God, I missed the part where it said that the numbers may be repeated. So I presume I got the whole first page wrong because of that fact. I've got 10x9x8x7x6x5 and I assume that the correct answer is 10x10x10x10x10x10.

Jamies15 · 08-06-2015 04:00PM

Actually was that slope of P definitely 1? I've been talking to a couple of people in my year who dropped from honours and I would assume know more than me and they were saying it was -1.

I just can't understand how it could be given that it sloped upwards from left to right, is it ever possible for that to be anything but positive?

OriginV · 08-06-2015 04:00PM

Messed up on the very first question about the bank pin, I wouldn't mind but I knew how to do it and did it right in the mock.

ConM96 · 08-06-2015 04:03PM

I was a reader for a candidate in the exam today and am currently studying to be a maths teacher and I can confirm that the slope was 1 and the perpendicular slope was -1. If any of you have any other questions about any of the questions on today's exam feel free to ask and I can provide you with the correct ways to do out the questions.

Just seeing aswell some of you are asking about the pin question . The first part was 10^6.

Question:Did any constructions come up? Waa revising them with my sister last night.

An Enlargement came up but that was it

Horrible paper.
