hahah yeah same
i couldnt get b but i got c no probs
i was happy with it
imo went better than paper 1

i think im gonna get full marks in the stats q1 and vectors
they were great

Finical

Handy enough I attempted nearly everything apart from odd one or two. Probability caused me most problems.

RyanK

That was a very nice paper. Q 3 B caught me out but I made my own answer up for that for maybe an attempt mark... Apart from that, I did pretty good. Makes up for the crap Paper I

Princess3

It was mostly alright but some parts were awful like Q3 B, i didn't have a clue. I think i messed up a bit on Q7 as well but the rest seemed to go ok for me Probability got a bit confusing though.

Mau5

I thought it was good enough!
absolutely nailed Area & Volume and Linear programming
trigonometery was dodgey though

highlydebased

Nice paper I thought. Should have got high 30's-low 40's in most the questions. Happy now

dannydfc

I say/hoped i passed.
it wasn't the worst of papers but it had some tricky enough elements.
one of the question , i think it was 3 was awful.
irish should be relatively easy, i hate the tape work though.:(
I'dd defo be cramming all night with business too.:eek:

Same for me! Need to cram when i get home today!!

Fete

There were some snags but I think I did really well. Messed up C i) of vectors though.

MonTheBiffy

90% easily that has to be on of the easiest exams iv ever sat i waited right till the end and only droped at most 10 marks i might sound cocky and it may come back and bite me on the ass in August but i aced that! good luck to everyone in Irish later doubt it will be as easy

dannye92

Indeed...after that it's not too bad for me though.

Thought it was very easy. Forgot how to do the last part of Q10 though, got 2/15 by messing around with the calculator but I doubt it's right :rolleyes:

dannydfc

What are the opinions on the graphs??
I thought the histogram and the frequencey curve questions were easy.:P

But for the question 11 , i just drew graph put in points,plotted a few points, and guessed that teh arrows were going inwards and then shading the inside part.
anyone get that one???

Thought that was a fair enough paper. For anyone who couldn't get Q3(b) I think this is right. you had to let x = 4y + 17 then sub it into x2 + y2 = 17 then just solve it and get your quadratic equation and the factorise to get x and y and thats your point. Then for the second part you could do it by translation.

Lawliet

I thought it was alright over all. Q2 part C threw me a bit, Q 7 and 11 were wonderfully straightforward and the rest were pretty average

I've bolded the answers I have that are different to yours...

2b iv I got 4x+3y+5=0
5b iii I got 8/17 you've put in (A/O) instead of (A/H)
5b iv I got 240/289, what you've done there is got 2 sin theta instead of sin 2theta
5c ii I got 39m, I think this came to something like 38.467, a lot of people rounded down to 38 after looking at the .4, but it should have been rounded upwards to 39.
6b iv I got 1/2, I'm not too sure if i had my methodology correct here though

FlawedGenius

I ran out of time!!!. I didnt finish Question 7 and didnt attempt any question on Section B.:mad::mad::mad: The questions I left till last were draw the cumulative frequency curve which is easy and get the median score. Also didnt have time to get the standard deviation. I was doing really well up till then:( Done terrible on PAPER 1. I reckon if I had of finished question 7 on Statistics and even attempted a question on Section B Id have passed. Gutted:(

Did you round down on part B? other then that I think I got all them!

Reckoner91

Wow, way to completely f*ck up the maths exams. Make Paper 1 way too hard and Paper 2 way too easy. What's the deal!?

How many marks between the two papers do you need to pass??? Out of the 600??

240/600 is 40%. Simple maths.

228/600 = 38% which is the pass mark in maths according to the maths teacher john brennan on countdown to 906

RyanK

Ah yes, forgot that it's 38% for maths.

mr_paddy
