    yeah i thought it was very approachable. however i thought the linear programming question was badly worded. eg. a taxi was mentioned for no reason in the question. it was a nice question just badly phrased

    i thought it was grand aswell :)
    I hope to god it makes up for paper one and gets me 40% :rolleyes:

    There was alot of graph paper involved !

    what did you all think of the probability , the one with a girl called niamh makes a password ...... ?

    Oh god I thought it was horrible, I didnt get it finished, like I didnt even get to attempt some parts i wouldnt have gotten them right but i would have gotten a few marks. it was really long i thought, all those graphs took up loadsa time!

    the statistics question was grand and area and volume, those were the only questions i know i did ok on.

    had 5 minutes to do linear programming. oh it was disastrous. i definetly failed and i amn't just saying that, i actually did, i was only looking for a pass and i know i havent got that now. im gonna go and go to sleep and feel even more sorry for myself now :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

    did any 1 do vectors .....that was such an easy question...... everyone was happy with their section B in my school

    apparantly the linear was easy pisey..

    I taught it was hard enuf. Id say I dot full marks in statistics & area and volume but I messed on the circle question big time say I only got 25 marks in that question. Vectors :mad: they would have to put that dame (a in terms of ad) as a part (C) question. As for the others questions id say I got most marks in them.
    Still hope I got a B in both papers.

    I can usually fly away at Linear Prog. but it actually confused me a bit! Loads of people in my class were really disapointed in it!

    I was getting fairly annoyed with all the graphs aswell haha, even though I like drawin graphs :D

    whats the big deal with linear programming!? i thought it was just a rpetty standard question



    yeah it was a grand paper, i bolloxed up my histogram, and that whole question a bit. but nothing major.

    trigonometry question was great, my faovurite question definitely.

    i preferred paper 1, just cos i thought it was a piss take it was so easy

    it was a bit confusing throwing in words like "taxi" in a question all about buses! we're ordinary level for crying out loud :D

    better than paper 1 thank god! had some difficulty with q. 3 though. agree about the taxi thing in the linear programming question, pretty random.

    i'm by far the worst in my class at maths, and even I found it OK!!! I actually found crappy things like Simpson's Rule hard and got the Circle perfect!! I couldn't believe it! Defo passed, that's all that matters but I'd love a c3!

    Ya, SOOO much preferred this to paper one.. Im just so happy it's over. I will hopefully never again have to look at a stupid theorem again (unless I repeat of course...) but YAY!

    It was a nice paper, fupped up the trigometry and forgot about linear equations until the last few minutes, then I was sitting there thinking "Wait why is this bloody taxi here. And how many different buses can they use... " then suddenly "OH **** thats how I do trigometry" sprinting backwards, I started rapidly scribbling in trigometry. it was still kinda iffy.. o____o then I had the idiotic idea of going through correcting it, and figured my triangle formula was wrong. >_<

    Over all I sincerely hope I passed, I tried to do it in Irish, up to the point where I realised that I wasnt sure about the irish trigometry wording. Diffinately should've done statistics instead of Trigometry. >_>; I also forgot to mark down my Caculator model.
