Doing mine on thursday, Ive seen the january paper and Ive got a bad feeling they're going to ramp up the difficulty for this one. Still the one from last june had that stupid trig question in it, so i atleast think we wont see that again.

Edit: Though to be honest, its a pretty easy question if you can do C3 trig.

So far the only question i've seen that sort of requires C3 knowledge is about the modulus symbol. So do you think i could quite safely assume that there won't be any C3 in it?

How many modules have you done?

When i was preparing i first did C3 then M2, to avoid this risk. Questions in M2 involving C3 techniques are rare(i am talking according to the book, i haven't done any past paper, except the actual exam paper which i did last year). Though if you are looking for full marks then it is better not to take a risk.

Ask this question to Arsey, he will be able to give a better answer to it.

We haven't even properly started C3. Which question in June 2011 had the trig question, because I did June 2011 with no major problem? I know the last question looks really intimidating but it's not too bad.

Yeah, I don't think they're going to keep the A boundary at 68/75 for 3 years in a row.

Hey everyone.

I am doing this exam. Let's go through some questions together.

This is my last exam before a two week break (and then C3)

I've got C3 too! At least the 2 week break is pretty nice. You doing C4 as well?

Has anyone got the Jan 2012 paper? I got 77 in Jan, feel better prepared now, so would quite like to give it another go! :P

Do you still need this?

Thanks, but I found it already

[Mathematix]

Just going over Kinematics now, then the other 4 topics over the course of the day

Most of it is surprisingly straight forward considering how difficult I found M1 to begin with (I don't study Physics) but managed 90something in that ^^

Hey guys,
I personally think colliding particles (followed by ladders against walls) are the hardest bit of M2
I made 200 marks worth of colliding particles past paper question document. These are from the hardest edexcel papers and OCR papers (which are always harder)

But the file size is too big to post on here - feel free to PM mee

Kind of. I'm not gonna revise for it at all, don't know if I'll even turn up to the exam. Basically I've been put on some ridiculous course for maths, and I'm expected to self-study C3 and C4 over the two weeks after M2. Frankly I can't be bothered so I'm going to do C3 and then next year (I'm doing Further Maths, btw) I'll do C4 when I rejoin school.

I hope they make M2 hard and M4 easy (or the other way round at least). It sucks enough that M4 is the next day after M2. I would be really pissed if they made both of them horrible. Would be heaven if both were easy.

I actually don't need this file, i have already taken M2 in june 2011, but +rep for being so helpful.

I think it will be better if you also include the answers of the questions in the file.

Have you guys done the review exercises?

Frankly, that seems irrational when you have 2 weeks to C3 then a whole week after that also for C4.

You should at least turn up to the exam, you'd be surprised what you could achieve in a few days of content before C3 then a solid week of questions/papers for it.

Not only that, it would help if you were to resit it, at least you would have some idea of the module.

That being said, I do agree that your course is ridiculous

The thing I find in M2 is the most major sticking point is finding the ranges for the coefficient of restitution in the collision questions.
I never know which inequalities to pick to find the ranges!
any advice?
