AS Edexcel S1 - (5th June 2015) Exam Thread

Someone give me motivation to get out of bed and do another s1 paper


Posted from TSR Mobile

I've come to the sudden realisation of how ****ed I am

lool anyone else getting really really nervous

Come on guys! only 1 day left! don't focus on the negative and just keep your head down and keep working! I know S1 is a bore, but do you really want to do it again next year? One.... Whole.... Year.... Of ....Extra.... Boredom.... and ....Suffering... From S1... and if you're doing A2... it's double the pay load... S1 and S2!...

Don't treat it like it's GCSE... A-levels are like 10x harder than gcse

(Not sure if they still do S2.. I'm on a gap year so I'm retaking S1 and S2)

S1 and S2 make a massive impact on your grade... I got A in C1, C2, C3, C4 and 2 Ds in S1 and S2 (LOL)... I got a B overall LOL...
Aiming to get that A overall this year O.o

Don't talk to me as if I've never done S1 before

What do you think will come up this year, not specifics but like certain topics...I hate histograms for some reason...

Not really sure, but I've always seen stuff like Sxy and Sxx come up.. stuff about product moment correllation and stuff on regression always seems to come up...

Normal distribution always comes up, Interpolation (stuff for quartiles, mean and median and standard deviation), Discrete random variables... pretty standard stuff...

The ones that I have seen the least is histograms and coding..

but in regards to specifics.. I'm not really sure... I hope this helps anyway..

Q7

I don't understand their boundaries
thought it was LQ-1.5(IQR)? and why is their Q3 34.5? and not 34?

Yeah i agree to be honest...Normal distribution is always in S1 papers, but i hate the histogram questions that involve scale factors when working out the width and heights of bars...think there was an example in the June 2014 exam...it really bugs me to be honest. Thanks!

Do you need any help on it?

Well, if you are ok with that, then that would very much appreciated!

multiply IQR by 1.5 before you minus from LQ?

if you could provide me the link to the paper and markscheme, and tell me what question, I'd be happy to hellp

did you do Q7 or 8 in the end?

ah not yet... I just finished the june 2010 paper like 10 mins ago, I was gonna go sleep and do it tomorrow morning, but I couldn't sleep so I thought I'd stay on here for 5 or 10 minutes to help a few people out before sleeping..

sorry, I'll let you know tomorrow once I've done the paper... It's the international 2014 paper right?
