C1? just turn up to the exam alive = guaranteed 90%+. If you don't get 90%+, it means you have gold fish in your evolutionary chain. :h:

Good luck all!

I got an E in jan on C1, absolutely gutted.
Getting high 90's now though.
Printing off the Jan 12 paper that I did so badly at right now to see how I do.

Feeling fairly good about C2 which I have just before my C1 resit.

The Jan C1 paper was nasty on surds and inequalities so I suspect other subjects will be more difficult tomorrow.

Hey, I'm an A2 student taking Maths and AS Further maths, I thought that I would resit this to get easy-ish marks, to help guarantee my A for University this year :L, well compared to resitting core 2, stats 2 or core 3 :L I got 86/100 the first time round, and am hoping to get over 90%+ this time :s-smilie:

Anyway, I was just wondering if there are any hard or synoptic parts that they asked in the Jan 2012 paper, or any random topics that haven't really cropped up but have been hard for you guys? thanks :smile:

Oh and also, if any of you guys want advice for any of the other modules, then I am happy to help! Bear in mind that I've done/doing Core 1, 2, 3 and 4, FP1, Stats 1, Stats 2, Decision 1 and Mechanics 1 :smile:

(43,3) for the coordinates of R on the 7 marker? Surprised a core one would have a seven marker, they changed since I was in AS last year!

How di everybody find it, Q9 got me big time, I think the one in jan was much easier, but hopefully get an A

I ended up getting some random co-ordinate like (43, 3) on the seven marker. It seems that other people got this.

Yeah, I got (43, 3) too :smile:

(43,3), same here. I don't think my friend will have it though, he worked out the normal at P where the tangent gradient was 0, hence he got a normal gradient of infinite. :ahee:

I didn't work out the coordinate but I worked out the equation for normal and stated that tangent gradient is 0 and did loads of other stuff, do you think I would get about 3-4 marks out of 7? And did you have to integrate the dy/dx of the curve? Last question threw me completely :s-smilie:
