Were my class the only ones that all came up crying?

Worst paper I have ever seen, honestly.

FreshTillDeath

Shanee.

We were told the last q8 part (c) wasnt even on the course.. what a disaster of an exam not even the newton rapson or de moivre came up.. JOKE

Whyyyy did they have to change the layout of question 4? I was banking on question 4 and ended up screwing it up so badly. Didn't know how to do any of it!

soccymonster

My friend came out of it bawling because she really wanted the A1. Sounds horrible

AnneElizabeth

Unbelievably difficult! I really thought I could've got an A... No chance now!

WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!!!
If that's something designed to show how wonderful Project Maths is, GRR!!

Last Monday I took 4 and a half hours to do every question on Paper 1 and the first 9 questions on Paper 2 from the year 2000 and I got 97 point something %... Today I dunno if I'll even manage a B1!!


AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I need to punch something. :mad:

Dropping down to ordinary was the best decision I ever made, that paper was cruel. Shouldn't be allowed to ramp up the difficulty like that.

LOoking for an a ..... I was nearly crying! The only reason I wasn't was because my friend was and she only wanted to pass .... But she might not have.


It was a ridiculous paper!

This is ALL about making PROJECT MATHS look good. :rolleyes:

What an awful paper. :mad:

Can I just ask y'all what you think you actually got?

Me? I failed.... Defo.

Something has to be done about this. Giving everyone an extra 40% will do...

Our teacher made us do every single q from every paper and i have never seen half of that stuff!

Shanee.

Failed without a doubt.. dunno is there any point doin anymore of the leaving

If everyone found it difficult, don't worry about it, there will be marking corrections made for it when the correctors meet.
Sister did it today, not too happy with it btw.

Was looking to pass, definitely failed the paper.

Completely unfair bringing project maths into it, half the questions I have never even seen! how could it have gone from such an easy paper last year to that piece of crap! I doubt I'll be able to get the c3 I need for college, disgusting,

Maybe_Memories

Can someone post the paper please?

Donerkebab

What a c**t bag of a paper. I was going for an a1. Not a chance now...

irish_man

as your here cydoniac, congrats on getting onto the irish indo yesterday!


That paper was unbelievably hard. Integration ws my best topic. I didn't touch the c part!!! What was the story with 1b(ii)???? I can't get over it. It went dreadfully bad!! has to be marked easily! Loads of people can out in tears (even fellas)..

Exactly

Guys, guys. we have to remain focused here and keep a cool head.

I did the honours paper too. I found it unusually difficult. I did question's 1,2,3,6,7,8.

1. Part A was grand. The B part was a gift, it was the factor theorem. And B part ii was horrible. The C part was ordinary and do-able.

2. Part A was normal. The B part was absolutely ridiculous! horrible. The C part was weird and impossible too.

3. Part A fine. Part B well, the first part was fine, but part ii was NOT! C I managed I reckon.

6. Part A fine. Part B yeah fine. Part C NO WAY!

7. Part A yeah fine. I think everyone got that can't complain. Part B the parametric question was a bit of a nightmare. Part C well, I reckon I got that. I said it was diagram C, as it was an increasing function.

OK, and finally I thought question 8 was the only nice normal question on the paper everything right bar B ii ...

and does anyone know if that last theroem was the sphere/volume theorem

This paper was definitely different from the papers of the last few years, I thought that the wording of some of the questions made things bad. Overall though, I'm fairly happy with it, I didn't do exceptionally but I didn't fail so I'm fairly happy!

Exactly Higgz!! next year when everyone does s*hit in project maths they'll go

''oh well these results seem to be in line with the average 2011 mark''

BrendaN_f

wow pretty tough, i doubt i failed, but i think ill be looking at a c/d, depending on paper 2 difficulty

Shanee.

What was the Q.8 part (c) about? Area of a disc..?

Very true.

If you did better than most people, an A is still in reach for many.

and there's always paper II

BallerinaBabe

I took one look through it, then switched to ordinary! I didn't need honours and there's noooo way I'm repeating..

xxpopopxx

What the actual hell was that crap!?! I actaully started crying in the middle of the exam........ I was hoping to get good marks in this paper since im utterly hopeless at p2, I've been doing every single exam paper back to 2000 and none of this crap was on them! Paper 2 is going to be dreadful ... I can't even.... The examiner asked me how it went because i think she saw me crying and she even said it was hard!!! I DEMAND EVERY PART A BE WORTH 15 marks or something!!!! >:(

Mysteriouschic

I didn't do the paper but one girl was in the test crying over the paper because it was so hard.
