How was this paper and which varient are you taking?
I took varient 3 and i did a lot of mistakes.
I have a question which i am not sure about the answer so i wrote both methods to solve it. One of the method and answer are correct, do you think i can score in that question?
Can someone tell me? Thanks.
I know we are not allow to discuss the questions but i am just ask ppl who already took d paper about the level of difficulties and to clear my anxious.
-
It's been quite a few 24 hours now, so I tihnk it's safe to discuss. :P Plus it makes little sense why one should have a problem discussing within 24 hours anyhow--Cambridge didn't go through the hassle of Key Time for kicks.
Anyhow, the examiner will probably check the first method and leave the other, though it also depends on how much leverage the examiner is allowed by the mark scheme. I took Variant 2 so I probably can't tell you how to solve the question without knowing it myself, so yeah.
-
how do you know the marking scheme is allow or not? which symbol do you refer?
-
I'm not sure of the symbol myself. If you have the abbreviation key, which appears before some of the older marking keys, you can see if there's an abbreviation for that.
-
Are you talking about pure 1?
-
if you mean P3, i just did 32 and it was total. *censored*. rape.

i haven't done that but it was so not easy D:
EVERYONE said it was hard.. we all skipped questions.. :-\

Hmm.. The method was long.. Yes.. But its not tricky..
-
It wud hve been easy, only if v had mor time 2 understand & analyse da question...say 2hrs :(
-
agreed...jst 10 more mins wud have made an excelllent ppr >:(

32
So, ur paper waz gud ???
-
sh*t im so worried now everyone saying they dont have enough time. EVERYONE . i had 1 whole hour in excesss. i ether did dam well or fucked up badly. i di the whole paper twice redoing all my calculation. could i have possible miss took all the questions ??? :'( :-\
-
went rele bad..variant 32
-
The good thing abt paper 32 is that No argand diagram and skteches whatsoever.
Tbh, 1 hr 45 is a bit tight for anyone who are not really prepared.
Usually, I finished 1 hour for mocks.. but today I took 1hr 30 min.

Paper 32 was different, but it was easier than the past papers (either that or I learned enough from the past papers).
I panicked when I first saw the questions. They all seemed more difficult compared to the past papers, but as it turns out only the procedure is long, but they are not tricky.
I'm not sure of what grade I'll get, though.
-
no ppl take paper 33?

I agree. There are many questions like.. Show that/ Proof and so on
Do you take physics too??

Yeah. I take Maths, Physics and Bio.

How was your Physics p42?? Just mail/ add me at msn bruce_lee_gibb@yahoo.com if you want to discuss

i did paper 33... questions were confusing, and I ran out of time for the last questions. 12 marks left unanswered.
anyone else did 33? how was it?
-
yea i did, you just had to use the normal of one plane as a derectoin vector and the dv that is already given by the line, it was ok finished early though so im worried if i completely miss took all the questions or worst missed out a questions

dont be worried, dude u checked all your calculations TWICE, what more u want?
i took 32, was good too =D
-
i did paper 33...i think i made a lot of careless mistakes.. :-[
-
I took Paper 33, which might be the 'easier' variant. It is one of the easiest papers in the history... So threshold could be higher... perhaps around 65/75 to get A
Seems like Paper 32 is a harder variant...
-
to zara hahaha. just freaking out from all the stresss hahaha ;D
-
I did 33 too. I'm so glad I got all proving questions correct - YAY!! :D
But then I didn't have time to finish question 2 - DAMN it was sooo easy but just didn't have enough time >:(
-

this year, this session i gave p1 p3 p4 and p6 out of which p6 sucked to the core, rest all were good =)
i dont remember the question =\ buh yea i got all the answers except for tht implicit function which u had to differentiate =( just hopin wht all i did is correct, cz everybody's sayin it sucked =\

You need to substitute again for the implicit function. I think twice for that question. Lol
