Best of luck everyone I really don't envy anyone doing paper one tomorrow :P Was by far my worst exam last year. Granted I only did an hour study before the exam after Geography as I focused completely on that the night before, it was a terrible exam for me. I was inconsolable after it.... I couldn't even do the part a's for some questions :L And after the exam I started to understand some parts.... Disgusted.

But yeah don't make my mistake. If you get bogged down, chill the f out. I didn't.... I just wanted to leave the exam and that was my downfall. You'll have loads of time in there. Take your time and make a serious stab at every part. Ye all know the deal with Project Maths. Attempt everything. Know your proofs and all that perfectly. They're guaranteed marks. Practice sample questions for everything. It's the most effective study for sure at this stage. But yeah try and relax inside there. You'll be sound then

And don't worry. Paper 2 is there to help you. I did an unbelievable paper 2 and it saved me from repeating this year. Give paper one your all and you'll feel great for paper two next week.

Good luck everyone, do De Moivre and Pythagoras proud :P

Do you mind me asking what you got in maths after? Because that will probably be what I'll be like tomorrow!

I'm seriously considering dropping down tomorrow,41% in the pres but i'm not too sure i can repeat that tbh

yournerd

Massive cramming session planned.

With geography I won't be online later to mention this but best of luck lads I can only pray that the sec will take pity on us...

And for gods sake do not leave anything blank!!!

Thataone

I'm just hoping it's a decent paper, or nice marking scheme. I'm trying not to work myself up over maths, my thinking is that I generally do a decent P1 or P2 so hopefully that'll cover me, as long as I don't panic

Did two pres this year and I got 25% and 37% in the paper, Need to get a load of attempt marks!

You know that intergration and diff are going to be two questions worth 100 - thats over 16% of the papers SO KNOW THEM! after that know complex numbers and financial maths I'd say!

Ah feck, I only saw this now. I ended up with at C3 in the end which was way beyond my expecatations. Like 85 points in maths was and is absolute paradise ha. Considering I failed the pre miserably and did a crap paper one I was thrilled. So it's possible If I can pass HL maths anyone can. I'm not just saying that, I never got maths at all. But don't worry. You'll do great today and you'll be aiming for a serious good grade then

Can anyone think of any quick niggly things to look over that could crop up?

I've gone through all the proofs but worried I might be leaving something out!

Currently trying to grasp trig integration.
What proofs do we need for this paper?

(clearly I'm prepared :eek: )

mulciber

Does anyone know if the definitions are on this paper or paper 2?

Wow that's unreal, well done! Let's hope its an ok paper and I'll be able to attempt everything at least!

Good Luck everybody!
Attempt EVERY question! And relax, it will either be easy or marked easily so there is not need to worry! 2 in every 100 will fail and that won't be you if you just ATTEMPT EVERY QUESTION.
Here is a wonderful trick for the exam if you are struggling

Try and breathe through your eyes (impossible, yes, but it helps concentration.) then you tell yourself that you have done this very question before and that you DO remember it. (And yes, i got this from Angels and demons or The other Dan brown book, not sure which! But is does actually help :P

Good luck all.

DO NOT FORGET:
Calculator, rulers, pencils, compass, protractor, rubber, sharpener.

Yeah, like don't take for granted that the stuff in the maths set is only for paper 2 like I did in the mocks :P

Good luck everyone, attempt everything even if you havent the foggiest notion, we should know enough by now to bull**** our way a few sums!

Just answer everything.

Even if you dont understand a certain part of a question and need to have an answer to answer the next part of the question, you can always write down any answer and explain to the examiner using that number that this is how you would go about answering the next part and go on from there.

For example:

Question on diff. In order to do the third part you need the second part but you havent a clue how to answer the second part.
Solution: If you know how to answer the third part then just pick a number/outcome which makes sense given the context of the question and use that to answer the third part.

I you do that, you will get 3 quarters of the marks for the part iii.

Better than leaving a few blank questions because you couldn't get a certain part of the question!

Copper_pipe

That was too bad

peekachoo

I'm shocked :O
Much easier than the mock paper we had! I managed to get out answers for each question, im not sure how right they were but I had a slight idea what I was doing!
Hopefully I passed

SecondMan

Thought the paper was alright. But that stupid ticket question.

11Charlie11

Where was the integration?? was it just one part A?
I thought it was horrible!

HPMS

Section A was so easy, Calculus and Integration were great too, only think that was impossible was Section B! Couldn't get the formulae for anything!

ScummyMan

What a beauty of a paper
