I did pretty bad on this paper, maximum 60 marks. I think I am going to curl up into a ball and cry.

The answers were (180,0), (270,-1) then A = 2 B = 2 C = 1 I think.

... I put the 0 and 180..the wrong way round.. The pain.

Ah, that was good. Only annoying question was the 2014 seconds one, but I got 43.

Last page, I put: (180, 0), (270, -1), 2, 3, 2.

i saw estimate so I did 10,000/2000 to get 50, **** i hated this exam

I got 40 as you had to estimate?

60 x 60 = 3600 (seconds in hour)
4000 (3600 to 1 sf) x 20 (24 to 1 sf) = 80000
80000/2000 = 40

I don't think I should have estimated as much as I did :frown:

For the 2014 seconds one, it said find an estimate. So when I'd converted 24 hours into seconds I made both numbers into 1 significant figure.

So I did 90,000 / 2,000 = 45.

The way they worded it was confusing...

No just do the second paper, can't do this paper... I'm wondering how many marks is the calculator paper...
