    Coefficient of X. Question.
    Did people get ridiculous answers?

    A 5 figure sum over 8 I think, left it as a fraction.

    It was (10C4)(3)^6(1/2)^4

    That Paper was just absolutely beautiful :P I'm almost certain I got very very near 100% which is a MASSIVE relief because I'm worse in Paper 2!
    Pretty sure I fully got out 2,3,4,7 and 8 (maybe q1 too!) and I was oh so close to fully getting out 6.


    Did anyone here get t<0 for 1 (c) (ii) ? If so, I will be overjoyed


    Figured out Q3 in the last minute btw!

    ARE YOU SERIOUS? YES, I got t<0 but I thought I was way off. Aaagh you've just made me so happy

    Lads, if my course is 340 points and I plan to get 360-390.

    What are the chances I won't make it in :/

    It's Computer Applications at DCU.

    It's computers so theres a good chance. The course points for computers have consistently gone up something like 20 - 30 points every year for a while. Even more in some cases.

    Dont worry about it though cross that bridge when you get to it :D

    Project maths better be easy I will be so annoyed if I find out I've failed a second time . I might still be able to get my England insurance choice though as I only need ucas points and didn't say specific grades and maths wouldn't be counted for points anyway. I just need to make up for them in business and economics and get A/B's. I really do want to pass maths. I don't know if I'll make my firm in england anymore .

    If you have the requirements and the points needed for this year you'll be offered a place. Its hard to predict the points of computer courses from previous years though, just keep on with your exams and worry about it then ;)

    I'm pretty pissed off about it. I think I got around 90%, paper 2's going to drag me down and I'm not going to get an A1, UGH.

    I feel like this too. I can't possibly guess what I got though - I tried to work it out about ten times and got anywhere between 89 and 97, so god only knows whether or not I'm safe, so paper 2 needs to be basically incredible and I have the horrible feeling it won't be.

    But you can change sin^2 to be 1 - cos^2 :)

    Paper two is going to throw us right up! They will make it easier than we expect for the simple reason that this one was hard enough. I think i got an a1 on this paper too, maybe 95% or so, but i'm not certain. I;m definitely not looking at the sample answers people are going to post!! I just hope i did enough for the a1. We'll be grand.

    I think I got 50 in 2 questions and 49 in another, could've gotten around 40-45 in the other 3. Or I might have done worse. :(

    Statistics will be my only downfall. I despise statistics, not so much the maths side of it, but the bloody english side of it :( Still it's handy enough but impossible to get full marks in for me.
