    Was it just me or was it a tricky wee bitch??? I mean it was managable and all....but jaesus i had to watch!



    Woke up properly midway thru exam, went back and found *some* errors...
    such as...

    3X + 5 - 2 = 0
    therefore...

    3X - 4 = 0


    WTF?????

    what calculus?! they asked some strange questions.. like what was that about a proving a right angled triangel in the algebra question! its not a trig question, so dont ask about trangles!


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,134 ✭✭✭Duddy


    The right angled triangle one! hadnt a clu!

    LOVED the differentiation ones tho...all worked out


    I MAY have got like about 70->80%....but only if im lucky!

    i thought the c questions were crap and stuff i had never seen before! and maths is my favourite subject, i got 100% in the mocks but found this paper quite tricky!i thought id be in and out in no time but was there til the end trying to do the last part of Q1! i hate arithmetic!it was def harder than past papers.and i never looked over my answers and only realised a really stupid mistake i made after which ruined my last part of Q3 (-4)(-3)=-12 *duuhh* so pissed off!!! :mad:


  • Registered Users Posts: 96 ✭✭anna.fun


    Yeah... feel sorry for u lads.. did Higher Level, but my friends had huge difficulties especially with that triangle question and apparently wouldn't know how to do it myself, although I'm fairly confident with my own maths paper


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,557 ✭✭✭GrumPy


    The 2006 paper was pure evil :mad: I seriously will be heartbroken if I fail! Iv'e put every bit of effort into my maths over the last year. :(

    it's just pythagerous's theorem (no idea how to spell that!!!)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭porn_star


    haha
    yeah
    when i first saw that triangle question i thought wtf
    but it was just h^2 = a^2 + b^2


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,747 ✭✭✭Wez


    Ah bollocks! I didn't know what to make of that Triangle question! I was actually looking out for a questions with formulae, but must have been asleep! I'm gonna have to work seriously hard in paper 2! I thought I'd have scraped 120 points in that, but doens't seem like it from what I've heard/read!

    I messed up with the part c of the differentiation.. (Question 7 C?)

    Couldn't figure that b@stard out! ARGH!!

    Gonna study my ass off for Maths P 2 to make up for it!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 958 ✭✭✭porn_star


    you always did worse then you think
    i thought i ****ed it up last year and I came out with an A2
    those attempt marks really bring ya right back up :P


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,134 ✭✭✭Duddy


    it's just pythagerous's theorem (no idea how to spell that!!!)



    Yeah was thinkin so i wrote it out.....but then i didnt know which one was which! like what was "h" etc....and dont write the answer for me....i dont care anymore!!!!!I just dont!!! >takes swig of vodka<:(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 155 ✭✭roberta c
