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.

thought that was fine, i think the first principals was only 10 marks because you didnt have to lim h to 0 but i dunno. hopefully i got on fine anyway. maths is one of my weak subjects but i thought i did good!

bingo-thats where i was going wrong i was putting the lim to 0 when it was already differentiated why didnt i see that

paul-2008

the answer was just 3, or -3. cant remember. but yeah the h canceled out before you had to put 0 in for it.

Yeh thats what i thought. I got worried that i missed something!

Meh, Im not very good at maths but I didnt think it was THAT hard. Question 3c and 6c I didnt have a clue.

yah i felt i was a fairly ok paper..as the guy on radio said..it suited people who dropped down from higher...i have pity for the weak ordinary student though...

PARARORY

for the first principles ,

thats the (x+h) thing isnt it?

When i did it it just came out -3. but but the h cancelled before i could make it equal to zero if that makes sense?

Anyone else get this or did i do something wrong?!

I got (-3, -17) but I got (3, 19) I knew my graph wouldnt be correct >:(

ya i got that 2.. graph was fairly dodge though.. did your min n max points work out?

Q1 was unusually tough, especially the (c) part, which threw me because it was my best question!

First principles coming up in Q7 was a surprise, it was tipped not to come up this year... Q5 was very straightforward, tricky (c) though, and Q6 (a) and (b)(i) were generous. I don't think I failed it, but I was hoping to do better so I wouldn't have to stress too much about Paper II which is my ''bad'' paper

This is excellent news!

my dad said he just heard on the radio that apparantly some of the c parts on the OL paper were of HL standard, and will be marked differently....or something? wouldn't quote him on that he's slightly deaf but it'd make sense?

it was just one teacher giving his opinion. he thought it was too hard ( specifically question 3 part c )

They wont decide if it will be marked easier until the marking conference later in the month!

eoin_mulhern

yeah the part c's were very hard....

as much as i thaugh i knew first principles i couldnt work that out for the life of me it just coming up the same as if i differentiated for standard rules which it should....feel very on edge about this

for 1c did anyone work backwards from the sum given, i kept subtracting the 5 percent, some of the c parts were quite hard

I DID THAT TOO!!!!
Overall I think the paper was pretty good, I usually always do bad, but I was pretty happy. Some part c's were tricky but they always are

Yeah me too, worked out at 7500

Victoria.

Thought some of the part Cs were really difficult.
Usually get good grades in this. In the 80s in the mocks.
Struggled today under pressure and after geography.

Found Q3 Cii difficult
Struggled with complex numbers part C and only got it in last 3 mins.
Abandoned Q6 part C eventually
Speed and distance in diff was tricky enough, only got 1 part

What were your graphs like for Q8? Were the points (-3, -17) etc to (3,-19)??

And how did ye all do on part (c) of Q.7??
The times that the speed of the object were 0 and 10 yes? Anyone else get this?

Weren't too many nice Q's on this paper and the fact that the Diff., from 1st principles was only worth 10marks can only be described as quite fecking annoying...

I got (-3, -17) but I got (3, 19) I knew my graph wouldnt be correct >:(

will I get 7 marks..

That paper was simple... I don't mean to sound cocky but I'm expecting 100% or thereabouts from it :pac:
I did 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, and I only had to really stop and think twice through the entire paper. I can't understand how anyone thought it was really hard or whatever... nearly everyone in my year thought it was way too easy.
