i just did the maths gcse on monday for aqa higher, and it was non calc.. and i know i did rubbish.. it was soo hard. do any of u remember any answers you put? and what should i revise for tomorrow? its calculator but we already had trig? x
the last ques.. i left it out.. the trig one because i needed to use tan and it didnt say wat tan was, did it? and ummm just the whole paper haha.
You didnt need tan. You needed sin which they gave you. They wouldn't ask you to find something only possible to find with a calculator on a non-calculator paper.

Yeh, a lot of people found those difficult at my school
Your correct about using Tan, however Tan 26.6 was revealed in part a of the question as 0.5. So you simply had to substitute in the numbers to find the opposite length of the triangle.
I was stumped on the last question because I could not factorise the 5x^2 - 605, but I factorised the denominator and worked backwards.

ohh rightt. ye that last qeus was really hard. did u find any others hard?
I don't see why volumes would come up, we got a huge question on them remember? Definitely some sort of circle theorems probably alot more quadratics/factorisations etc (which i can't do >.>) vectors maybe?

truee.. i was thinking circle and vectors too. urgh i hate equations .. well the long ones will fractions.

same, I suck at everything apart from circles ;D mondays exam was okay until about halfway through, and people keep telling me what i was confident with is wrong, so idk what it's going to be like tomorrow :/

Volumes mainly because it requires difficult calculations

But on non-calc we got a six mark question on working out the volume of a sphere, cone and cylinder, then putting them in order + in terms of pi, so they wouldn't ask us the same thing again right?

lol naa i found it REALLY hard.. much harder then i expected. i hopee it okay tomorrow or im gona fail

Who said anything about the same question type? Theres most likely gonna be a volume question though. I've seen both paper 1 and paper 2 past-papers have volume in.

I just don't see what else about volume they can actually ask us, other than putting it in a different situation like... a barrel or something >.>

I got the denominator but it took ages to get the top half. Then I realised it was completing the square. I messed up the cylinder one, the algebra one, and the mountain question because I didn't realise it was an enlargement.

it was enlargement?! and the algebra one wasnt completing the squaree
