what yall hopin ta get in math d c b a

Badwulf

It annoys me so much that no matter how many points we get, even if we get 600, a failure in maths will stop us from pursuing our future careers

I just want to pass, living on attempt marks!

zvseire

so whos stuffing the answers in their socks 4 the toilet breaks?

giraffegoat

can you pass if you barely attempt every question?

yeyeye

I'm screwed i failed badly in the mocks worst maths teacher ever only 4 or 5 passed in the whole class of 30

BauBau19

Hopefully a B1. Need a B3 at least... got 67% in the mocks without finishing the course and no revision.. so should be grand

Aarong9224

Need a c3 , 37% in the mocks with no study and a terrible teacher. Studied loads since then , feeling i can achieve well over the c3.

Somebody answer this boy, I wanna know too

Hate lc!

what would be good topics to DEFINITLY study I'm terrible at maths!!

I don't think you can. You need to be able to do at least the first part or two of the question and be able to make some sort of attempt at the others..

But seriously... you can't possibly fail pass maths..I haven't studied for maths at all in the past 6 years. And up until recently I was in honours maths, decided to drop down just to play it safe.

Don't leave a space blank, you'll get marks for writing anything.

Was hoping for a B1, now realising that dream is probably out the window as I come to the realisation that I know nothing.

Do all the questions you know first.... it will ease you into the exam

Yes!

Anonamoose

The important thing is to stay for the full length of the exam and add as much detail as you can .... a lot of marks can go for method etc.... even if answer is wrong

Yo, I've been doing higher level maths up until now but i failed my mock and i don't need it for college so im taking the Ordinary paper tomorrow!

Can anyone tell me is there much of a difference on what comes up? Like are they the same topics but much easier or are they very different papers?

Thanks!

Bob123321

Hoping there won't be too much calculus but I'm dreading that there will as I've been told just attempt everything as your getting marks for everything you do (once it's obviously some way related to the specific topic of course).

what should my timing be how long should i spend on qs 1-6 ?

70 Minutes for Q1 - Q6.
70 Minutes for Q7 - Q9.
10 Minutes spare to look over your answers.

Q7 - Q9 carry 50 Marks each while Q1 - Q6 carry 25 marks each, so that's why you should give equal time to both.

Goodluck everyone tomorrow! ♥

caolan1996

is that the way its going to be broken up for q7-9 50 each in past papers they have it like 75 and 30

It should be 50 Marks each for Q7, Q8 & Q9.

I mean, that's how SEC divided the 150 marks out between the three questions in their sample papers for the 2014 exam.

Another tip is that you should convert half of the Marks awarded for each question to minutes and your target should be not to exceed that time. So for example, you shouldn't spend any longer than 12.5 minutes on a 25 Marker, or 25 minutes on a 50 Marker. Remember that you should also give 5 minutes of your time to look over the exam at the start of the exam, and 5 minutes to check your answers once you're finished.

Does anybody know if any theorem questions come up on paper 1? I'm pretty sure it's paper 2 but just to be safe!??

HassanNat95

no they only come up in paper 2

Memories

Lads I'm terrified I'm going to fail the paper. I think I've passed one maths test in my entire school lifetime, and not from lack of trying.
I'm just genuinely maths illiterate.

I get so confused when it comes to algebra, so much so that I end up writing complete s***e
Any tips for tomorrow other than the obvious, don't leave any blanks?

Anyone got any tips on what to majority focus on for tomorrow, even though it seems we are all in the same boat.

SaoirseDuggan

can somebody help me out? it's one of the first parts in number patterns I'm sure it's very basic but I can't wrap my head around it on the calculator, just say the pattern is triangle square circle, and then to find T10, it's says divide 10 by the number of terms (3) and I get 3, but in the example it says it's gets 3 with a remainder of 1 and then the answer is the first triangle ... like I don't understand the remainder bit !

Kevink7501

Is studying for 5 hours enough to pass?

Badwulf

I hope the paper today is a lot like all the previous ones, hope no questions that havnt been on any papers yet are thrown in
