Definitely gonna be having a lot of, erm, educated guesses in section one hahaha. I think you have to have a certain mind to do some questions like visualising shapes that make up other shapes. That's not easy, and it's hard to get those types of questions right. Yeah, gotta play to your strengths I guess. It's annoying that the scores are all separate and not put together, so one good score could make up for a not so good score, like in the UKCAT
Yeah I agree, it's either gonna be okay or (insert swearword here haha) poor. Section 2 is a tricky one to be fair in terms of timing you have to be quick but efficient. I sometimes have a couple left at the end I have to rush which is difficult when you have this much stress.
Ah okay so f(x) you get. For an x stretch, the 'thing' has to be directly affecting the x, and it's always the opposite of what you'd expect. So if it's f(x+2), it doesn't shift right by 2, it shifts left by 2, yeah? And then if it's f(2x), it'd be stretched by a scale factor of a half in the horizontal direction (so it'd get squashed in by scale factor of a half)
Similar for the y in that again it has to directly affect the y, but it'd do exactly what you'd expect. So if it's f(x) + 2 (even though there's no y here, it isn't affecting the x directly so has to be affecting the y values, i.e. the f(x) which is the y) it'd shift up by 2. And if it's 2f(x), scale factor of 2, stretched vertically.
Does that make sense/help?
Ah okay, if I'm honest it doesn't sound as bad as my teacher made it out to be!
Ah maybe it was just something that blew up at my school haha, it's fricking weird - type in on YouTube Shrek is love, Shrek is life. A pretty innappropriate video though so mind out haha
Didn't seem strange at all! That's exactly how I felt after each time, felt it even more after I saw surgery for the first time! It was so interesting, but then we had to go back and learn about whatever bs we had to haha, much the same as you
Ah congratulations! Yeah I got overly excited about mine too, even though I don't wanna do medicine it's an offer and pretty cool
I don't know if I'm doing well on the essay or not, it's so hard to judge it. And I think I underestimated it too
