Hi, this is for everybody doing the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Mathematics this summer. How are you guys revising for it, and how have you found the past papers?

[mike256]

Hi,

I have been revising only by doing the practice paper sets, and the worksheets. The papers have not been too difficult; usually one or two questions catch me out.

How are you finding it?

[studentrc]

its not been too difficult but there are a few things i find hard such as the calculus

do you know what is specific to the non calculator paper??

I was trying to figure that out myself, but I think the material isn't strictly spread out between the two papers..

[studentrc]

oh ok

do u have any of the other practice papers apart from the ones on the aqa website?
thanks

[Rendition]

No, I've just got Set 1-3 of the Practice Papers, and the Specimen Papers, and I have also been using some of the worksheets...

[kat2424]

Does anyone know any good revision websites? Especially for matrix transformations.
I don't have any of the worksheets and only two sets of specimen papers. Would anyone be able to email me the worksheets?

[studentrc]

could you upload the sets 1 to 3 and the worksheets??
it would be really helpful
thanks

[Rendition]

We were only given them on paper, but I'll email my teacher and see if she can send them to me- they're quite long to scan in...

Can someone explain to me question 20a on specimen paper 2 (calculator):
Matrix A=
(4 3)
(1 1)

Work out the image of point P(2, -1) using transformation matrix A

It's just a normal transformation isn't it?
(4 3)(2 )=(5)--> You do 4*2 + 3*-1=5
(3 1)(-1)=(1)--> You do 3*2 + 1*-1=1

Oh and I am willing to send all of set 1-3 of the mock papers and the mark schemes if you want. Just message me your email address and i will send them.

Does anyone know a rough grade boundary for these exams?

[scsharma1]

hey lukeface, would it be possible to send the practice papers to me as well at [Removed - please use PMs or post here] ? thanks

[thetejmaster]

nope,and anyone who tells u they do are lying,
make sure u know what sin30,45,60,90 are,cos 30,45,60,90,and tan 30, 45,60 are cuz they could test u on that on non calc
anything e

[kat2424]

how do you work out the limiting value
eg
write down the limiting value of
2n
------
n+4

as n --> ∞

[thetejmaster]

The answer is 2,
Because as n gets to infinity- tht sign, n gets very big and everything else becomes irrelevant so the answer is 2n over n, which simplifies 2 u can cancel the n's out

Ahhhhh this is tomorrow! Does anyone have any tips for the proof questions???

[studentrc]

could someone upload the worksheets if they have them
thanks
