    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.

    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!

    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).

    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! ♥

    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.

    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.

    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 !
