I mean what degree..not the University because it doesn't say in your sig :smile:

At the time was Networking, but I feel I'm wasting the Maths and Further Maths. So I'm thinking of something else, really not the time to be thinking haha :p:

Somethings telling me that it's bad I do not know what a polynomial is...

Lol. How did you find C3? Put it like this. My chances of getting an A* have just gone out of the window. :cry:

A polynomial is somethings like x^3 + x^2 - 5x + 1= 0

And then you have to divide by something like 2x -1

It's easy peasy lemon squeezy!! :elmo:

Ooooooooh yeah!
This exam is going to be a fail.

I thought Core 3 went alright! I know I made one stupid mistake. 8^2 is not 16. :facepalm:

but otherwise I think it was pretty straight forward.

(Though I wouldn't of been able to do it without extra time.)

I'm sure you will do well enough to get an a* in this exam!
I thought I had failed Core 3 in jan but got 82... (Retook for higher chances of a*) so do really well in core 4 and we'll all be laughing.

Here's hoping for an easy exam.

didn't like the fact that it was so different from the past papers.. too many log and 'e's involved for my liking!

Same! I completely agree! Also, no integration by substitution which i love :frown:

one stupid mistake?! I made a gazillion! I'll just work my socks off for C4. I really hope the examiner's high and overlooks all my stupeeeed mistakes. :biggrin:

I need 80 UMS to get my A*, so I'm just hoping we don't get some odd vectors question!

After my C3 exam I pretty sure I'll need around 100% in this for an A*.

But it's not too bad as I've always found C4 easier than C3 for some reason. Although I'm yet to start any past papers.. Think i'll start now actually.

I've noticed you've got all the same exams as me this week, how's the revision for Mechanics 2 going?

I meant Core 4, I was confused about something but it doesn't matter any more. :p:

I want to perfect my C4!! I always end up losing marks on either vectors or something stupid.

Haven't started M2 yet... I'm really tight with time atm. Only done 1 C4 past paper, so tomorrow will be purely C4. And the day before each other exam will be spent on that subject. So the only time I have for M2 is the day before, after my Chemistry exam...

ah well. If I get like a low A in C3 and C4 combined, I'll only need like 58/100 to get an A overall.

If I some how manage to get 98-100 in C4 then I'll only need 42/100 which is just into an E. :yep:

I need 139 UMS over C4 and M2 to get an A, which im confident of.

Vectors aren't too bad, it's just remembering when to use which method. I'll spend all of tomorrow doing past papers etc. and I should be all set for it.

Hopefully there's a nice implicit differentiation question on there, always seems to be a nice 5/6 marks for a relatively easy question.
