Kicking ass in Maths paper 2:

nobodythere

Right I'm seperating this from the maths thread because you have to stop fretting over it, it'll do you no good. Paper two is not that bad if you look at it a certain way.

If you're doing it over the weekend and trying to get as much done as possible, consider that by doing the Probability and Statistics chapter and the Trig chapter you basically have 4/6 things covered.

Then do a load of your option question from the past papers. You now are left with a fine choice between the circle, the line and vectors. It's best to cover at least two of these.

For anyone doing probability:

Good luck, let's take a bite and spit it out

Good attitude

good advice, i plan we f*** them over by all getting a1++++ in Paper 2. Im so tempted to write a note at the end of p2 giving out about p1. Of course, this would probably void my entire leaving so probably not worth it.

Lol

No doubt you will, a **** p.1 just makes you want to work and try even harder in p.2. Its the kick up the ass we all needed.

Good plan. Paper 2 is the easier of the two anyway

i find paper 1 easier of the two
i hate the application of trig
with passion

:Keith:

Got to agree with you there. There's something about Paper 2 that just annoys me.

BraveheartGal

i think paper 1, if you mess around with the question you can get it out or at least get close

but with paper 2 you have to know exactly what youre doin,like you have to know exactly how to start the question


i know im not makin much sense
basically you can bulls*** your way thru paper 1 and pick up marks
but not so much in p1

Murv

paper 2 has always been my weakest. but then again dfferentiation was always my favourite question. and look how that turned out.

i always thought p2 was ****.. but lookin at it now, circle and vectors are alright, trig is normally good and Q6 always has difference equation..

5 good questions there and then ur option
