    I think I've failed maths thanks to it. Such a load of sh*t.

    Just had a look at the HL one on examinations. I really like the practicality of it, but it's kind of like missing something. I'm so glad I did the normal paper!

    I must say I really liked the pass paper today :) There was a few questions that required a lot of thinking, like the window question, but still managed to answer everything. I spent my whole weekend looking over the notes on projectmaths.ie and going over the sample and mock papers. I didn't do well on friday, so wanted to get an A in the second paper as I need a B3 for my course.

    I did the Honours paper and I have to say, I was relieved!
    It really suited me, made up for a terrible Paper One! I think I could've done with more time, I ended up rushing through certain sections, but aside from that I was happy.
    It was great that the predicted theorem came up, I was afraid they'd ask a complicated proof instead *exhales in relief*
    Wasn't sure about the ship question, took a while to get my head around it but hopefully succeeded! If not, always attempt marks.... :)

    Did anyone get an answer for 9B part 2? The roof question? The answer for the length of wood needed in my answer was something like 19.004m I think...

    Mock was waaaaaaay easier!! they trew in probability everywere and the car insurance question was hard, still need to fix their wording on questions, probs ended up with a c all over, dont need a matchs mark but im sure some people will class that as a hard paper..

    Window question was difficult, and the wording was all over the place. Really messed me up. I got 5 questions in paper 1 50/50 so was hoping for an A1 or A2 and now Im being brought down to a B or C..

    Sickened with the amount of probablilty they threw in. All I can say is hopefully attempt marks will be handed out loosely, they won't want people to fail it..how would that look.

    The project maths paper varied in standard from very easy to too difficult
    Dont worry they will mark it very easy
