Pass Maths P1

highlydebased

Thought the paper was somewhat convoluted.

Good few bits and pieces that have not been up in a few years....

Opinions on it? Hopefully scraped enough marks to pass it.

Gutted at how I did, Wanted a B3 or C1 and say I got a C3

Thought the question C's were very hard compared to previous years. even in my strong questions like Complex numbers/Differentiation, I struggled with question C's

James_LWAU

Agreed

Hopefully I got enough marks to scrape a pass paper 1

Roll on paper 2 its far handier than paper 1

cedomination

I was hoping for an A but now I'm not too sure, it was pretty hard for an ordinary level paper.

ColSheehan

Thought the differentiation question part C was a bit tricky and I think Q 3 part c was also a bit hard for me.

Other than that I thought it was a fair paper, I was delighted when I saw it first

Same. The paper this year was definately the hardest in recent years..

Thank god I'm not the only one who thinks this!
Everyone I talked to in school thought it was ok but I'm a bit meh after it like.
Part c's were pretty difficult, i couldn't even attempt a couple.

Was not a fan of it. Hopefully paper 2 will be much easier, paper 1 was never my strong point anyway.

Hopefully I won't have to count it

cedomination

Yeah it was mostly the part c's that I had trouble with, gotta work like crazy for P II now :mad:

highlydebased

They'll have to adjust the marking scheme if less people do well overall, I'm not too concerned as a result

Orlaladuck

I'm generally fine at maths but that was Really difficult! I'm hoping for a C now, was hoping for an A or high B.
What the Hell was with Q7?! First principles is NEVER there!
Really horrible paper =(

complete joke of a paper

question 1 (c) part (ii) was impossible to answer no matter how smart you are or maybe I just read it wrong.

I'd say I got about 30%

I'm ****ed

Basically divide one by the other

220/228.80, get 4%. Then the overall sum was 5500. (220 is 4% of it)

c questions were bitches

Was that the question where you had to get the rate and principle? I'm not sure but I took the two interests from each other and got 8.80 or something and divided that by 220 to get 0.04 percent which was the rate. Then I divided it by 220 and got 5500 which I think was correct..
Anyone know if this is right?

I thought it was such a nice paper!

Im pretty confident i got full marks ( high 40's at least) in questions 2, 4, 5, and 7... and q1 was okay , 3 was grand , 6 is the one i doubt il be counting!

lalee17

I'm crap at maths.. hopefully I passed. I only need to get a D3 in the overall exam. Paper two is usually easier than one though, isn't it?

Question 6, 7 and 8 were handy, along with question 2

I attempted 3 and 4 but failed to get the C parts..

Still...hopefully i get a C...

I got a B1 last year, don't think that will happen this year :rolleyes: shame...

Freakin4Leavin

I'm happy with it

there were one or two b/c parts that were a bit iffy but i was able to give them a decent attempt!

[Deleted User]

Thought it was a very fair paper.
Some questions were awkward but not terribly difficult.
I'm happy with it anyway.

Eire-Dearg

I've done honours papers easier then that.

That was a bitch.

Mwah

some how i got 2.2% for question 1 c(ii) and 10,000 for the p and it worked out lol... other people are saying different and its making me sad :'(

Ferris_Bueller

Think that paper could have worked out in favour for people who are looking to pass, but less favourably for people who were attempting to get a high grade.

As and Bs were pretty much grand I thought, but almost every question C was harder than any I've done before.

Fete

I thought it went fine. Some questions were asked in weird ways that I haven't seen before but I think I got them right. They looked correct anyway.

PARARORY

You and only you mate.

my year liked it overall , i think it was because we had a tough mock that our teachers made themselves.

The_D_Man

thank God I decided to study for it this morning or I would have been screwed altogether! I thought the part c's were tricky enough. honours maths was supposed top be a doddle then, thats just taking the biscuit!

lookingfor?

it was hard my maths thather is my own personal suppervise because i am doing it on tape told me it was one of the hardist in years but i need a b3
but Q4 c was a joke it was piss easy 20 marks

Fully agreed with all that.

I'm disappointed really. Alot of the Q C were very difficult. Even an Q B. I thought I would fly through it. Oh well.

brianw1

Well they have given us every formula this year, maybe thats why they toughened it up

i thought it was simple, maybe only 2 c parts that were a bit of a struggle but..easy:rolleyes:

RyanK

Was going for an A in this.. now I probably won't get it. I think I'm in the B area at the moment. Those part C's seemed a lot tougher than previous years.

stainluss

I'd say I got 70%, I was expecting it to be much easier than it was.

I heard HL Maths was easier than usual, I think that they are trying to bridge the gap a bit. (Lets face it there was quite a large one)

I dont think its fair, however, as the last 3 years papers were much easier:( Especially for the people that struggle to pass and were practicing them years.
But thats life:rolleyes:
