Further Maths was a treat! I personally didn't have any problems at all, despite a few odd questions here and there. Although credit to my amazing maths teacher.

Yes I completely agree :smile:

Hopefully paper 2 will be like that

I thought b2 was much easier than b1 tbh, didn't think it was long either finished after an hour, the question wording was terrible tho

It was for the finding p and q matrices question I think. I also got -9 and 10 for the first question or either -10 and 9, I can't remember .

Most people in my year also got that. I was really happy with the paper because I went in dreading the optimising problems & logs question, glad they were easy enough though :smile:

I was dreading questions about curves and stuff, I never know whether to differentiate or fill in x where or whatever, but I think it went really well!

It was so good that they split it up into parts as well rather than just one question

Exactly, they sort of talked you through it 😂

YESSSS you have made my day. I was so unsure about that question but now that you've said that I'm over the moon!

Did you find the proof for that question a bit weird. It probably wasn't hard but I got a similar equation and then just wrote (-400 for each) at the end and got the equation. How many marks out of 3 is that?

Anyone do Biology Unit 2 today and want to discuss?

x. Purpose of amniotic fluid? I said to absorb impact.
x. 2 Osomsis environmental factors? Can't believe I forgot about this one in the exam, but I said temperature and pH. I'm pretty sure I won't get the mark for pH.
x. How can we tell from this diagram that fertilisation is occurring? I said that the nucleus of the sperm was touching/in contact with the egg cell.
x. Suggest the (according to the diagram) rate of blood flow in the capillaries. According to my friends this had something to do with pressure. I said that it moves at a slower rate to allow time for gasses to diffuse but I just evidence that it was because it was going upwards, I couldn't include pressure because it asked to use the diagram.
