Everyone ready after C1

Hopefully it isn't as hard - I'm doing the past papers which have the lowest grade boundaries to get a feel of what it may be like tomorrow

It should be better than C1, on the level with other C2 papers, as generally the papers and grade boundaries for C2 have been quite consistent for the past few years. However, I still expect it to be a bit more difficult than previous papers. Hopefully not, though.

Be prepared and expect it to be really hard and then it will either be easy than you thought or you will be ready for the hard questions.

yes that's very true. last years boundaries were 57/72 for an A so 79% which i guess shows it was like challenging but not too too bad? in comparison to last years c1 which was 64 for an A so 89%

Since a tricky sine/cosine/tangent graph question was the last question on June 2015, does anybody reckon there'll be less of a chance for there to be a hard one of the same type this year? I hope so.

Done all the papers along with 3 Solomon papers. Is there any more I could do and do you guys think text book work is necessary? I honestly cannot afford to do badly tomorrow

I've done 10 years worth of past papers and I feel ready but I'm so scared that it's gonna be like C1 all over again 😭

Think I got an answer as 91 for N or something, maybe the question before that

512/15 for the area or something? Odd number!!

Oh **** I just realised I wrote 360/a 😂😂 nahh I'm almost certain that it's meant to be just 2pi/a because that's how they describe the period in my textbook
