      Is this correct?

      Mean: = The number which appears the most

      Median = Put them in order from lowest to highest and get the middle number

      Mode = Add up all the numbers and divide by the amount of numbers.

      The median is right, but your mean and mode are the wrong ways around.
      Mean is the average, whereas mode is the one the appears the most.

      Same, I've been set on my course and college for ages and i am so excited about it but there is a very real possibility I will fail maths :confused:

      I've been putting a lot into it but there is a lot I can't do due to my teacher being as approachable and useful as a rattle snake.

      not as nice as paper 1 but not that bad really. Hated question 5 & the second part of 6a though.

      can I ask what people got for the co ordinates of Q?

      That was definitely a nice easy paper. Quite long though as I didn't get to finish Q. 9 before the exam ended.
      Anybody know how the papers are marked? Is it out of all the questions or the "best 6 out of 8" sorta thing?
      If it's all the Q's then ah well, an easy enough 30 marks gone. What you gonna do.

      That wasn't terrible. The section B question with the Pie Chart was taking the piss, so easy. But there was quite a lot of trig on the paper. I just used random combinations of sin/cos/tan until I got an answer that looked correct :P

      I am terrible at trigonometry and most likely failed that. I feel like chugging bleach rather then having my mom find out

      I was delighted with the amount of trig:P

      Nice easy 25 marks for the construction too.

      So happy with that paper! I much prefared it to P1 but was quite long! Didn't get the last bit of Q9 done and had to rush the end but apart from that it wasn't too bad!

      Pie chart was just multiply the percentage over 100 by 360 to get the degrees was it not?
