**HL Maths Paper 1 before/after**

May project maths be easily marked.

Monsieur Folie

This will either be really easy, or impossible. =/

May god have mercy on our souls.

more than likely the latter, hopefully they mark it easy

wow exuberant

attempt marks all day erryday

Monsieur Folie

I saw that someone posted a tweet that said not to worry if we start crying or anything, because apparently the paper is designed to absorb your tears and turn them into attempt marks!

Partial credits lads!

RML

Prrof by induction is gonna be the death of me. I'll never understand that

Phoenix Wright

Sweet jesus, I am unbelievably screwed for differentiation and integration. This really could go either way. Paper 2 will bring everyone up though because it has Stats and Probability :P

Slow Show

Absolutely terrified at what they'll throw at us in Contexts & Applications, everything else I should hopefully be grand. I don't really know what to study for it right now tbh.

dorcan

hopefully financial maths play a small role, really hate it.

If we can get differentiation, Integration, Complex No.s, Induction, and Know basics of finance we should be ok!

Copper_pipe

Leave nothing blank lads! Low partial credits FTW!

Phoenix Wright

Don't worry too much if this one doesn't go your way. In the last pre I did, I got 45% in Paper 1 and then 75% in Paper 2

Is this all we need to be able to prove?

De Moivre's Theorem
Differentiation proofs
First Principles
Geometric and Arithmetic series formulae
Infinite geometric series formula

Have I left anything out? Is there anything else that we just need to know off by heart?

Think thats it, half know them, feel like proofs won't play a major role in p1 tbh. Its certainly a matter of 0 or 1 coming.

johneugene

Can a theorem come up on paper 1? Any genuine predictions?

Prodigious

I like Maths

I'd say you could write an equation vaguely related to the question and get 5 marks for it out of 15 based on last years paper.

I know the first principles and that's it out of all that :eek:

I'm excited for this exam because its the only subject I'm actually banking on getting an A in (as well as german) *hides*

I don't think P1 will be that bad, other than financial maths I'm generally ok with it. P2 on the other hand...

0mega

What do people think is important to focus on at this stage?

Also what are the proofs for arithmetic and geometric formulae?

Undeadfred

Proofs for the series formulae are on wikipedia

Is prove and construct an irrational number p1?

Yep

Sometimes its nearly impossible to root out what they are actually asking! Its likely to be a 50 marker unfortunately.

HPMS

I don't know about you, but it feels like such a relief to be able to study maths now without having to think about essays, or poets etc. Maths is so much more relaxing to study!

Prodigious

Financial Maths will be 25 marks IMO

Guys are you doing it in Pen or pencil? Trivial question I know but....

I always mess it up if I do it in pen. But we were told pen could fade if it's too light. If doing in pen make sure it's HB.
