I'm doing higher level maths this year and we still haven't got exam papers ? Is this the case in other schools ? we were told that there not printed yet ? Im getting worried because i have nothing to use to revise.

Haven't been printed yet. What book are you using? If you're using the Active Maths ones, just go back to the revision questions at the end of each chapter and pick out a few near the end, they tend to be exam style ones.

Oh okay thanks . We are using texts and tests books which have some revision questions , but we have a concise maths book also which has no revision questions.Thanks

Not quite true. The content is mostly the same. The structure is somewhat different, (e.g., no choice in Section C of paper 1).

Now that the sample papers went online last week, our teacher hopes that we will have them by Christmas. Last year they had them by now, its getting really late

Educate.ie papers for Maths are now printed. My teacher had them today.

Just to remind people the sample papers are the best guide as to what the actual papers will be.
Various companies make their own versions, which can be helpful for practice and revision, but the official sample papers are the ones to be relied on.

The sample papers from Educate are exactly the same as the official sample papers. Also Educates sample papers seem to be really good - the Ordinary Level ones which I'm doing are anyway.

Considering the sample paper was only released a week ago, it's very early to have their own sample papers released though, no? I know the new sample papers haven't changed much from previous years but I'd rather wait another few weeks to feel confident that things have been amended in accordance with them, surely a week would only really give time to print and circulate the papers? I imagine I'll be waiting for Edco's papers anyway.

Does anyone know if the EDCO papers are out yet

Hello, I just thought I would throw up this thread for people to discuss the project maths sample papers for 2013 which recently came out.

The links are:
Paper 1 :https://examinations.ie/schools/LCEV2013/Project_Maths_Phase_2_P1_Higher_Level.pdf

Paper 2: https://examinations.ie/schools/LCEV2013/Project_Maths_Phase_2_P2_Higher_Level.pdf

So if anyone has anyones they cant get tell us and hopefully we can get a few good math people active on here to help

Just wondering,
Which questions should I be able answer on the project maths official sample papers when I've covered Chapters 1-5 in book 1 of Active maths 4 (real numbers, Algebra I, II & III and arithmetic).
Thanks!
(Higher lever by the way)

can anyone explain the exponential in differentiation? i know I a probably being a bit vague but it never made any sense to me

Educate.ie got theirs out fastest because they print in Ireland. Due to the removal of choice in the old section the other companies had to wait for theirs to be redone and shipped into Ireland. I know our department is considering requesting our school stick with educate.ie next year to keep the money in Ireland.

I am looking for an A1 in Maths this year guys, because I need the point for medicine but here is the thing, I hve always een very good at maths, usually getting A's or B's but this year, with project maths I am struggling so far, I have gotten all C's because I just can't study for the exams. I bought the exam papers and the solutions today so hopefully these will aid me but does anyone know any other good resources or tips for me to achieve this difficult goal. I know I am not bad at maths I just need to get a plan in place for the next few months before the L.C. All help greatly appreciated!
