Can't you lot scan it or take a photo or something and upload it here for us all to see?

For question 2ii) i got c as -22 because i squared -3 instead of squaring 3 and subtracting it in the equation, i put all my method down though, how many marks do you think i will get?

Anyone else absolutely hate question 7? Don't want to be controversial but i think it was just stupid really, especially for 5 marks

I asked that question, and I was told I will get one for that. How is it many people are loosing out on this question?

Mr M, how many marks do you reckon I am going to lose for accidentally using 80 instead of 8 for the length of the side of the triangle on question 7b. All my method was correct it just meant I came out with 3sqrt3/80 instead of 8 for my final answer :/

It is something I would hope you would have been taught as it has been tested before.

we VERY briefly touched on the special triangles during the first trig lesson but it was implied that it was just a way to figure out certain ratios. I had no idea how to tackle the question

You have permission to scowl at your teacher then.

i thught it was GCSE knowledge that if TanA =2/5 then the angle opposite the angle is 2 and the adjacent is 5

Mr M for 7iii, I worked out the angle of the triangle (ie what angle gamma was) through not reading the question properly. Would I get any marks for this?

It is.

huh wonder why everyone struggled so much

Because they didn't get taught well at gcse, for example me.

but how did you do the GCSE or the past papers

Dunno, just did it, it was a long time ago. Self taught myself what I can.

i see, itss a shame when you have awful teachers at least you could self teach, at least it wasnt like a lnguage :P

Yeah, Im not looking forward to this Thurdays D1.

me neither its my worst module, although i hope we get a paper like last year so the boundaries are really low
