Correction ^
Thank God there's a weekend so I can actually study all my chapters for paper 2, including all my theorems.
I don't like maths

I find Paper two a lot easier!
Other than the theorems it's just fill in the blanks with trig. and geometry!

Ally7

I actually love paper one in maths.
Hopefully I'll still be saying that on Friday :P

Im grand for P 1 but fúcked for 2 :pac:

Colm!

84% in the pre.

"Eighty four percent" is an examiner's way of saying "ALL YOUR HARD WORK WAS FOR NOTHING, SUCKA!". My revenge is coming with this paper, I swear to god.

I really want an A in maths tbh I got a B in the mocks so it is possible but like...

If the right theorems come up and the trig/area and volume isnt gross I *should* be okay!

Luno

I'm screwed...

Me too i got 84.4 and they wouldn!t give me the A

Oh God. Yous all got really high mock results. I got 64%. Are the theorems only in Paper 2, or can they come up in Paper 1?

I love maths. I want an A. Gonna get a B though. I just know it.

Gaeilge-go-deo

I need an A... I love like the algebra and graphs but i hate the arithmetic shít on q1 and 2

Really hoping to do well in this paper:p Should do anyway.. Our teacher did so many extra classes we ended up having about 10 or 12 maths classes a week for 3 weeks in the run-up to the J.C :pac: Shes pretty full on but hopefully it will all pay off

Adzee

I'm ordinary I feel so left out

bluejay14

I really want an A in maths tomorrow.

I was so close to an A in paper 1 in the mocks and I think I know it way better now than I did then so I'm hopeful I actually like maths.:)

My maths teacher said have it`s setting on DEG, I think for the
"SIN, COS, TAN" Questions

Sin = O over H
Cos = A over H
Tan = O over A.
"Oh, hell, another, hour, of, Algebra"

Best of luck guys!:o

You can only do one or the other! :O I'll keep it on deg and see how things go...

I'm going through a paper one exam, anyone know how to do this question?

"Write 44100 as a product of its prime factors"

soccymonster

I'm really nervous about paper 1 (well for my sister!). I helped her with paper1 for an hour last night but she finds some of the questions like indices and surds very difficult in contrast to paper2. i'll be holdig the Rosary beads for the next few hours anyways.

Oh and don't do what I did and notice 15mins before the exam ends that your calculator is on radians

You're such a good sister. :eek:

My brother & sister don't even know what exams I have today :pac:

Luno

I helped my brother who is doing his leaving cert with his maths yesterday! :pac:

soccymonster

Well, of course I don't want her to fail! But I love helping her out because it gives me a somewhat invincible power over her. I'm like the master training her. I love JC maths too :P (yet sadly, I can't answer that exam question DKZ, apologies).

Closed ac

I've figured it out.

You have to divide it by prime numbers.
