I'm repeatedly typing out Macbeth quotes to try and remember them. It's so much quicker than hand writing them. I have revised Supernatural, Evil, Lady Macbeth, Deception and Ambition. Any one have any ideas of what else I should revise for Macbeth?

Macduff, Macbeth and Banquo.

Accounting looks like the biggest soul-sucker of a subject. I had a friend doing it last year who summed it up as follows:

You spend and hour ruling the page,an hour doing the Q,and an hour wondering where the f*ck you went wrong.....

Haha, that pretty much is how my accounting works anyway. But the feeling you get when you get something to balance is unparalleled in any other subject!

What sort of stuff should I learn for them? Just their progression throughout the play?

I remember that being tricky, I think I got it right though, I'll look for my pre there and tell you

Use de movres theorem, you've got the polar form from the part before. Its 2(cos30 + isin30) then just put it to the power of 6. I think that's right anyway, that's the way I did it in the mock and I got it correct. Answer I got was -64 + 0i

Mine was 3 in the mock and I got 33/40 but I didnt really answer the question, just summarised the play :P

You use DeMoivre's theorem with the complex number you got in part ii.

[latex]2^6(Cos\frac{6pi}{6} + i Sin\frac{6pi}{6})[/latex]

And then just change that to Cartesian form.

I should really study maths....

Me too To be honest I'd love any of last years three. I reckon(/hope) one of them will come up again! They did it with Yeats in 2010 and 2011 so anything is possible :P

Black pen or blue pen? That is the real question for English. Y'know, psychology of colours etc etc. What we thinking ?

Lara_15

I'm getting very worried about the whole mcduff/banquo thing... I barely know enought for lady macbeth or kingship.

The only time a question came up on Banquo was in '87. Just putting that out there. Predict at your peril...

little sis...

If Banquo/Macduff come up I will answer on another text :P

It has a been a continuous trend that if one question is hard then the other one is easy. We'll be fine

deedeebb

is anybody else completely screwed for home ec short questions? they are way too hard

sueysmithers

everyone shut and stop worrying about banquo/macduff

Yeah, correctors use red and the next higher up person uses green if its marked twice.

Question: can they actually take marks off you if your writing is a bit illegible. The one correcting our mocks did :O like my writing wasn't terrible but she seemed to do it for the whole class, I got half marks for mechanics on loads of questions with absolutely no spelling or grammar mistakes. What a c*nt ! where I made two spelling mistakes the dope didn't notice

Vito Corleone

I'm sorry but I'd shit myself laughing if Banquo came up.

onethreefive

If Banquo came up for question 1 and Macduff for question 2 I would be beyond screwed.
