Title: Re: Math Paper 2 IGCSE
Post by: SNA on May 13, 2010, 08:33:37 pm

My school somehow accessed the O/N papers for the mock exams before the papers came out, and I got 90% +. I feel kind of bad, knowing that I could have taken the exam in O/N 09.

I screwed up aswell in this paper 2. Compared to all the past paper 2's I did (which were about 20), this one was particularly hard.

Anywho, I hope they make the paper 4 easier so that we can make up the grade!  :-\

I have hit the jackpot of stupid mistakes, I'm dead sure. You know the question where the lift goes up the Hill @ 3.65m/s ? I took the calculated vertical as the distance the lift needs to travel instead of the diagonal length of the hill. :( :'( Silly me...

Now I need to bump up my game big time for paper 4. Inshallah it will be easier.

From asking around my school, a lot of people also got the lower bound question concerning the wood fence wrong.
It just goes to show that you should read the questions before answering them.

Most of those lower/upper bound questions have hidden traps, and you just have to read the question vigilantly.
