**HL Maths P2 Before/After

ChemHickey

Sure, seeing as we have paper 1 done...

Nice paper. Surprised they didn't ask us to do anything but draw Scatter Plots and Histograms but it was a nice flashback to my Junior Cert days.

..what? Either you're joking or I've missed paper 2.. :pac:

Guys what did you get for the 6th question, (b) part?
I just discussed the biases which can occur through simple random sampling and calculated the probability of them occurring

Definite A1.

Exactly what I did. Also mentioned the importance of the clinometer in sampling for bonus points!

Well, I don't know what exam you did, but my 6B was a cut from the JC.... jeez like. No stats at all. Reznov=Definite A2

Ah crap I didn't emphasise the clinometer. Think I'll lose many marks?

Canard

Definitely. They really like their clinometers.

(I've never seen one in my life though)

I hope a nice drawing question will come up. Are you guys gonna start with the last two questions worth 50% or at question 1?

reznov

I think that project Maths was a pleasant change from the mundane and repetitive algebraic equations in paper one. Man I wish I could go out and strata sample the population right now and maybe even find the mode of a categorical variable under inspection.

The paper was yesterday.
Sorry bro.

I think the 2 worth 50 tbh. I ran out of time in the mocks on them. Might do the theorem first if it comes up as it'll be fresh in my head.

Yea man exact same happened to me. Only got up to the first part of the last question done so I lost around 20% of the total marks.

Woah ****! Never knew that.

Canard

Not even going near Q8 til the very end. I just cant do them. I got 6/75 in my mock and didnt even deserve those 6. So worrying...

FaoiSin

I got 4/75 in one on my mock and spent about an hour on it :P

Am I the only one who finds project maths better than the old course? I'm beginning to feel crazy :P

I love it too. It's so much easier than paper 1 I think and I like the kind of general knowledge aspect to it too. The only parts I don't like is when they ask you to explain something, I'm never sure how much to write.

DepoProvera

So there's literally no choice in the paper bar 6A and B, correct?

There may also be a 9A or 9B like on the 2010 project Maths.

Stalin and rugby

All the technical graphics rats are going to do real well in this project maths yoke

FaoiSin

There's no 9A or 9B for us. 1-6 Short Questions and 7-8 Long

NoHarm1994

It better be a nice paper after yesterdays disaster :P

DepoProvera

For my mock there was a question to draw two graphs side by side and I had only space to draw one because I scaled it wrongly.. Just wrote below my one graph that I didn't need to draw the other as you can see the information from the graph.. full marks hahaha

Incompetent

I'm so worried! I need to do well in this paper, but I'm so much worse on it than paper 1. What would the essentials be? I know there's loadsa proofs, but I need to get the most marks I can in 2 days . Is focusing on geometry and trig worth it, as you can't really bull your way through it?

Emz93

Does anybody know if Geometry can come up as one of the long questions? (7/8) Generally it seems, statistics, trig and bits of probability is what comes up in the long qs but better be safe than sorry! Planning on just learning the theorems off perfectly so 25 marks in the bag for Q6A!

I reckon we all chill the fcuk out. Let come what comes

Yer man on the radio said Geometry had to be confined to question 6.
