The ppr was very unexpected...soooo many comments we had to make...and seriously i think i'll lose 1 mark frm each comment as i know that the examiner will nt be looking fr the kind of answers i gave in the ppr...

and i am expecting 80-85 marks in this ppr...thats all i remember from the ppr..!!  :-\

and also now i'll try to get marks in 90's in ppr 2 if i'll have to confirm scoring an A grade...!!

Yeah the comment parts are usually the only parts that cause problems!! Numerical parts can still be usually done.Generally more marks are lost in papers two... moving averages, sampling, index numbers are all usually in sec B of this paper.Let's just hope comment questions are not there otherwise it will be fine!!!! Expectation is gonna come most probably... if it's a easy question 16/16 is expected from me at least.. like the 2007 or 2008 ones.
By the way, how do you draw the trend line through the moving averages? I usually draw it so that half the points are above the line and half below but many people do it differently..

yea u r rite...

lets just hope that no comments appear in paper 2...

when we have to draw the trend line, the line must pass through most of the points and remaining should be either above or below the trend line...thats how i was taught to draw to the trend line and most of the time my answers are correct by this method...  ;D

Was that the probability one? ans to 1 was 4 and second 1,2,3,4 i think... I think I nailed that one actually I understood it. I don't remember what I wrote though lol... but I did figure the question out. I messed up on the section B probability question.. the part B :( The moving averages one had like 4 marks worth of comment questions so I left it and attempted the probability one instead heh.

hmm... sorry to hear that. Mine went well..I'm definitely hoping for an A.
Paper 2 was better for me than paper 1...i found it to be easier.
Expectation and index number and the moving averages question was easy, the scaling one i probably messed up though ;(
