WJEC Maths FP1 June 2012

Hey, was just wondering if anyone took the FP1 exam this morning?
And how did you find it?

Personally, I found the last part of the last question a bit confusing as there were two possible answers depending which equation you chose..

That last question was nasty overall. I'll probably be resitting, I doubt I've got anywhere near an A.

The last part was horrible! But apart from that I hougt it was all really good! This is already my resit so hoping for an A with that :biggrin:

I'm glad other people found the last question hard! My 3rd resit, resitting an A already but wanted a higher UMS mark - cross fingers now.
Hope it went okay for everyone else, will be check here to see if anyone managed to get the answers :biggrin:

From my memory, think it was root 5 for the modulus and 1.75ish rads for the arg

What part of the last question did everyone find hard? I didn't think the end was too bad!

I think it was the fact I wasn't sure about my answer..whereas the rest of the paper I was pretty sure I'd got right - I think it was the 'm' variable thing that spun me out.

what answer did you get? i can't remember at all what I got but I still had "m" in my radius and coordinates?? haha
