I agree you could probably write more than 4.5 pages in the allotted time but my teacher told us that that amount is perfect

Home Economics: Social & Scientific
Start with elective -- 35 mins
Compulsory question section B question 1 -- 35mins
other two questions section B -- 2x 20 mins
finish with section A -- 25 mins
that leaves 15 mins for reading over questions / selecting questions
or you could give 25 mins to both questions in section B but that just leaves 5 mins reading time then
so time is very tight
defo finish with short q's as you can just fire them down and remember to bullet point everything -- they like that

It can appear in Q1/2 but doesnt do so too often. In 2010, I think, it was a third of a C part. It would definitely have caught people out but if you'd done S&S it was pretty much an (a) part. The way you say "even in Q5" confuses me a little though, thats to be expected - Q5 is algebra, binomials, induction and S&S, as far as I know

That's nearly 20 pages :O I'm not fast enough to write that much I got 46/50 in my Plath essay and it was only 3 and 3/4 pages! And practically full marks in Hamlet which was only 4 pages exactly. Funny, my comparative was like 7 and I only got 54 in it :P I don't think length means everything, well obviously, but quality always over quantity.
But anyways, this is how I do applied maths:
Try to do every full question in 15 minutes. This might sound hard, but trust me it pays off!
Basically, just plough through every question as fast possible but be careful aswell. If you get stuck, which everyone will be at some stage, try think of a way around it for about 2 minutes, and if you don't find a way around it, leave the question and move on. Then keep doing this with every question and then you'll have an hour left to go back over all the questions looking for your mistakes! From my experience, I can get too caught up in a question and get frustrated so I really think it's a good idea Works for me anyway!
Oh, and always do Q10 first, it's a nice quick question 0 -

We're just finishing off S&S this week then doing induction and I taught myself binomials as best I could - they seem so much nicer than Algebra/CalculusChemHickey wrote: »Sequences and series
