I am so glad I dropped to pass, this is going to be piss easy

Well apart from Trignomonetry, but apart from that Paper 1 is simple for me.

Pass Maths for the most part is not difficult. I really, really like my teacher. I got an NG in first year and now I'm finding it easy.

Alright, so I just did my Maths Paper 1 exam today. I was done quickly enough. Did all of the questions and read back over it to make sure they were correct. I noticed that the difficulty level was much higher than that of previous papers. Sometime there's really easy, cop-out questions but outside of sets there were none of those.

Barely any algebra as well! Factors were simple. Graph was easy. Fair exam, all in all. Now it's time for Paper 2.

I hate school

Pass maths was fairly easy, got it done in the first 40 minutes and checked my answers about 10 times. Had to sit there for 1 hour doing nothing. Now for paper 2 on monday, hoping it will be as easy as the first paper

As I said a few posts ago, it was piss easy
Some of the questions were harder than previous years I noticed. But they were still easy.

In Quesion 4 , there was a mini line with the functions thrown in, my friend didn't know how to do Functions so he lost marks in Question 4 and Question 6, which was lousy.

But I has no bother, was done in under an hour.
The only slightly difficult was the question where you got 3.5xa6, the powers question I think Question 3. Other than that, a dodde.

I though for the powers question you just subtracted them? I was looking over some of 'em last night and they were the same, except you didn't have to simplify any fractions. :pac:

And yeah, I noticed that also about the questions being much more difficult. But I do think that's a good thing, because some of the questions in previous years were almost borderline Foundation level to be honest.

Awh I'm really dissapointed with how I done with the paper today.. I had studied and studied for it, but just did come my way.. lost a lot of marks..

Graph the functions, totally wrong. Solve the equation. totally wrong. powers. totally wrong. Ugh totally messed up.. no chance of me getting a B anymore

Did the start of anyone else's graph start off weirdly or did I do something wrong?p

I thought Q 4 was horrible and I seriously messed my graph but i did it twice and it caje out the same ;L

Nope haha :P

The wall building question answer was 6 days.
You multiplied 3x4 and divided it by two - simple!

IrishLoriii

Yes i done the wall right!

Wow, I did a lot worse than I thought I would. I completely effed up the graph. Were the numbers supposed to go up to 20?? It almost makes me want to do foundation. All they have to do is add and subtract.

So excited for paper two.

No, if you got anything close to 20 you were way off.

No offense intended. :cool:
