** Higher Level Maths Paper 1 2012 Before/After **

DepoProvera

So, I thought I'd take the initiative.

Have an alright feeling about this one, but I'm sure my tune will be different tomorrow.

Ha, I was just creating this thread! You beat me to it
I'm hoping on 7 questions, Q 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 and 8; I've covered sequences and series, but I'm staying away from that with a barge-pole!
Hopefully DeMoivre's theorem will appear on Q3, the factor theorem for Q1 and any area proof for Q8.
My first principles with sin and cos are f*cked!

Some motivation.

IRA 1916

I wanna do questions 1, 2, 6, 7, 8 and i'm still not sure about my last one. I reckon I'll fail paper 1

I'm only doing 6. I haven't covered the material outside 1,2,3,6,7,8, so hopefully they don't throw stuff from outside If they do what's likely? Induction?

Canard

I shudder to think what I'll post in this thread tomorrow. If its anything like English P2 I'm gonna be slaughtered.

Am I the only one looking forward to paper 1? I really looking forward to it! I hope it goes well anyway! <3

Living off attempt marks. Project maths FTW

Alpha and Beta question tomorrow, any money. Matrices A and C hopefully for 3. Nice easy q5 in case differentiation is hard. Integration will be straightforward hopefully

Integration? Straightforward? Juxtaposition me thinks. That ain't possible

Generally, its the same questions year on year. Hardest part is when ya have to compete the square but its better than induction or a sequences and series part C

The only maths words I understood there were integration and differentiation.. Ut oh

DepoProvera

I've covered all 8 Qs.. I'll do Q5 unless it's a inequality induction.

And I'm thinking induction of diff rule will come up. To the lad above, Factor Theorem..? Really? It was up last year, no?

Intend to do all 8 questions! I'd say proof of product/ quoitent or addition rule could come up? Maybe inequality or series induction?
Hopefully a nice sequence and series! Teloscoping!!

Wkds

Whats the maximum amount of proofs that could come up?

Which question is addition rule... Please tell me

Doubt addition will come up but q6

What with Paper 2 being so theorem/definition heavy, I doubt we'll see any major proof business on paper 1

I seriously feckin hope so

Sh*tting it to be honest.

Please be gentle paper 1 I need this to go well

Actually I've a really important question, if I start a question but decide that it's wrong and put brackets around it/faintly cross it out, but then it turns out to actually be right, do they still mark it or do they ignore it because I've crossed it out?

I did EXACTLY the same thing in English today....... :O

I've heard they can be sound like that. Let's hope so

What's the bet that Paper 1 isn't gonna go down without a fight and they'll throw the worst possible s**t at us?

Correctors mark EVERYTHING. If you cross something out don't do it to the extent that it's illegible. If you cross out the right answer and then do it again but wrong they'll mark both of them and give you the higher marks.

Don't rub ANYTHING out or use any Tipp-Ex

If you know how to do Q5, do it. It's usually one of the most straightforward questions on the paper.

Mista

I'm only doing Qs 1,2,3,5,6 and 7... Hope to god they don't throw in any random crap into Q5 like they did in 2007

And how likely are differenciation proofs to come up?

You 100% sure? I always thought they did but someone told me they don't mark it if you cross it out, even if it's legibile.

If I fail paper 1 and pass paper 2 by enough to give me more than 40% do I still pass even though I failed paper 1

Every teacher in my school says it and I have never heard otherwise. If you want to start again just put a single line through your answer and start again. The easier you make it for the examiner to see your answers the better.

Yes, it's your total score.
