I am doing Add-Maths.
Tomorrow is Paper 1.
I hope to see an easy paper. :-\
-
Hope there are no Questions on Relative Velocity Ya Allah plzzzz no...
Thats the hardest Section!

Well, I am expecting a Relative Velocity Question in the choice. :-\
-
No DrEvil i dnt want t in the Choice too..
Anyways am prayin for the best.. It ddnt appear in the Nov 2009 ppr too dd it?

The othr 25% is there na...
All The Best for your paper!!

GoOd LuCk to you too! ;)

No Relative Velocity!!!! Hey it MIGHT come in the 2nd ppr but still.... I'm sure it wnt!!
Overall how was the paper?
Found only that graph Q annoyin because i kinda did it last and panicked!! :(
-
We'll discuss the paper after 24 hrs.

Ah I did this paper last year. And there was no relative velocity. Most probably, you'll be getting one for this year. ;)
And yes, even if there are no difficult questions on the paper, do not expect Cambridge to be too generous. It's going to lift up the grades. >95% for a dist. 1.

Which zone are you talking about? ???

It's supposed to be depending on zone? Even the grades?
I'm in Mauritius, but we take the International Paper here.

I'm in Mauritius, but we take the International Paper here.
Every Zone has its own grade boundaries. You are probably in Zone 2 or 3 because Distinction 1 and Distinction 2 are only part of your grades.
Here in Zone 4, we just have grades starting from A* to U. No Distinctions on percentages are allocated here.

Ah it's the same. Our result slips contain both the distinctions and grades.
The exception is that distinction 1 and 2 are both for A, for us.
Frankly speaking, no idea about the zone. Never heard about it here.

Yeah, I never heard the Zones thingy until last year when someone told me about it.

No prob. :)

-
And Dr Evil which zone am I from?? And what is this zone thing? Based on where you live?????? I live in SriLanka
-

I think you are also in Zone 4. It includes Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Turkey and other three countries that i don't know.
-
Hmm most probably SriLanka too myt be frm zone 4.

Mean? :-[
Telling the truth and not giving false hopes is 'mean'? :-\
-
Sorry Alpha really!!
It actually came out because i was kinda hopin with all my heart that Relative Velocity wouldn't appear in our paper too :(
Sorry!!

Sorry!!
But that's the wrong attitude. When you have struggled hard and prepared for so long, and now, it's finally time for the race...
A good runner is the one who will never abandon, be it sunny or raining.
Preparation is never complete UNTIL you are ready to face everything. ;)
-
Well Yeah I didn't prepare that much for Relative Velocity Section because I always found it really confusing and still don't understand many of its concepts! :( (Even though sooo many teachers taught me this section!!)
And also my teachers told me that Relative Velocity is not even there in the AS n A2 syllabus so i ddnt have to worry much!!
As I am going to do only Math and not Furthur Math for my AS n A2 Hopefully! :)

Ah, okay...
My teacher had told us it would be the most difficult chapter... And because of that, I'd prepare for it very well. :)
But unfortunately, relative velocity didn't come out.
Everybody was happy... till the results came out. Those who were expecting a distinction 1 (or A*, as you call it) got a simple A. Cambridge had modified the grade threshold.
-
Well you got lucky ddn't you!! :D Hope I do too!
Anyways what are Grade Thresholds??
-

I didn't expect it. It's common to get what you don't expect. ;)
Grade Threshold, it's the range of marks for assigning grades.
A which was for 90-100 had been changed to 95-100.
-
I just wanna know.
Did everyone find it easy?
Please say no.

Ohk ;D :P

And yes the cos graphs man!! I'm not gonna talk abt IT!!

both the questions were very easy.
did u do EITHER or OR?
-
OR seemed easy and was easy!! :)
The cos graph thing yes i dd t rite n then was wndrng hw there'll be 4 solutions so i erased t n drew n such a way that there'll be only 2 solutions!! :( Misery oh misery!!
-
lol..
what were u answers to the OR part?
-
Um u expect me to remember all those? Sorry! :D
Seems u dd OR too.
-
yes, i did OR too.
My answers wer as follows:
i). 2e3x - 12x - 1
ii). (0.231, 0.227)
iii). The nature of the turning point was Minimum.
iv). (-1/6 , 0)
Were these your answers?
-
Oh Man YES!!! You sure your answers are right? Yes then!!! Remember only the iii) and iv) parts not suure abt the othrs!! :D :D
Though i remember being confused for the ii) since i got decimals but both seemd vrry close you know dffrnt only by 0.002 or something!
-
Yes, I am pretty sure about the answers.

Hello everyone! I am currently in the second year of O levels. I know its late but i want to do Additional mathematics. Do you think that i can start the syllabus and finish on time with ample time for revision. I will be giving my o level exams in june 2012. I need your help.

^4 years of O-levels? ???
Additional Mathematics is a difficult subject. You'll need to learn concepts without rushing and past paper practice is crucial for a good grade. 2 years of hard work would be ideal for the syllabus.
If you love maths or don't find it challenging you'll find Add Maths interesting ;)
Good Luck (:

Additional Mathematics is NOT a difficult subject at all. It just requires a little hard work and two years are enough for preparation of Additional Mathematics.
In fact, you should take Additional Mathematics because if you are planning to take Maths in A Levels, Additional Mathematics will help you a lot.
