    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.

    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

    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
