Past Paper Analysis

kevin12345

Thread to take a look at past papers and patterns...I know skoool.ie has some but they only go from 1996-2002 so I wouldn't pay too much attention to them? If anyone has noticed any patterns or have gotten hints from teachers on "what's likely to come up" please post them here

I'll have a look at the history. :P

In HL maths, the Pythagoras theorem proof hasn't been asked yet. So my maths grinds teacher said that it might come up.

It was actually asked in 2006, but yes, it is likely to come up this year. Here's my predictions:

Two of: (Theorem A - Opposite angles are equal in measure, Theorem F - The diagnol of a parrallelogram bisects the area, Theorem L - Pythagoras' Theorem.)
One of: (Construction 4 - Incircle of a triangle, Construction 5 - Divide a line into three equal segments.)

Final Prediction: Theorem F, Theorem L, Construction 5.
