Potentially failing Maths..

    Alright so the more I think about it, the more I think I've failed Maths, I found the 2 papers fairly hard but I attempted everything I could in them.

    The thing is, I've been accepted into a PLC course already which I'm gonna take and I know you can repeat maths in there if you fail it...

    But with Project Maths Paper 1 being introduced next year, does anyone know what I'd have to sit if this did happen? or what the story is?

    I would also like to know about this

    I am fairly sure you would have to take the project maths one! as i think they can't give out other ones for people who are repeating, if the paper that year is the project maths you will have to do that one. I think you don't know yet if you failed or not! theres nothing you can do yet so wait and see the results first before you worry, good luck :)

    did you attempt every question? did you leave any parts empty? once you gave them something to correct that's great, maths won't be corrected harshly this year anyway. Good luck :)

    I left a few questions over the whole two papers blank but only if I had absolutely no idea what to do or where to start, for any I wasn't sure on, I just attempted and put in the correct formula, etc.

    Alot of people have said that alright, hopefully it'll be corrected handy anyway haha.

    Thanks :)

    Course isnt that different. Same paper 2, most of the principals on paper 1 remain.

    I repeated this year and I had to sit the project maths paper 2. Very different from the course year before! Hated the project maths! :(

    The paper 2 is vastly different than the old course. Very little of it is relevant. But the change in Paper 1 isnt as bad. A lot of the stuff from the old course is still relevant and the questions wont change too much.

    Try not to worry too much, I genuinely thought I failed a few years ago, I had a nosebleed before paper 1 & felt so sick in the exam. I made some really really dumb mistakes that literally no one would ever make because they were so simple. Came out with a B2. & I'm not one of those people who thinks they fail everything, I usually know how well I've done. I actually had to look at the result 10 times because I thought I must be looking at the wrong thing.
