    You passed your mock, wish that could be said about me. Don't worry though. You've obviously got a solid foundation to build on after passing and if you've done any work at all. you should do even better. :)

    Best of luck. :)

    i'd say the real thing is gonna be way easier than the mock.
    Mock paper 2 was hard in all fairness.Paper 1 wos OK.

    Yeah I scraped a pass in the mock, but i think with 3 extra months' work of revision under your belt, you should be fine. Be smart when doing questions, do bear the marking scheme in mind.

    Yeah I thought that at the time but when I went back over it after the mock I found the questions weren't that bad. But even doing the past exam papers they seem easier than any past mock paper we did in class.

    thanks :) thats encouraging
    i'm jus worried i havent done enough since the mock.. i'm not exactly the hardest worker.
    oh another q: which optional q u gonna do? i think i'm gonna do q4 (seq & series) cos i haven't done/revised matrices since we did them in class like a year ago, and binomial theorem etc has always gone way over my head :/.. what are you guys gonna do?

    I think I'll be doing most questions and just see which ones come out best. :D

    Sequences and Series can be quite a handy question. Afterall there is only a certain number of formulae you can use and only so many ways you can be asked questions.

    Not sure yet for Paper 1. 4 and 5 are meant to be easy but I didn't study that cos I hate it. Looking at it now doesn't seem too bad but not sure if I will get it covered in time.

    Paper II will do 1,2,6,7,8 and probably a trig question.

    I am completely freaking out over maths.... more than any other subject.:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: without a doubt the most challenging one im doing... you can never do enough study for it.

    I think i'm doing algebra x2, complex, diffx2, integration and then prob s&s as a back up!

    im just praying i come out alive!!!

    Do the c parts first. If you get stuck on them you can move on to a dif question without wasting much time on a question. did it in my mocks got a 96

    also q 4 and 5 paper one are probly the easiest questions on the paper especially 5...logs and induction are made out to be so difficult when theyre not at all

    The Paper this year should be slightly easier this year due to complaints last year. It won't be much easier but you will more than likely do OK IF you have studied and you know your Formulas.
