Default AQA FP4 Tuesday 2009
 
I really need to start revising this. I know nearly all of it in a elementary way, but the questions they ask are weird. I hate how its really fiddlerly and how its easy to make an error.

Plus I think the people who are making the papers decided to be evil this year, hence FP1. So I suspect a really nasty question to appear.

Saying that FP4 is kind of easy.

That was really upsetting. I'm going to retake it. I lost seven marks because of stupidity.

Sadly, retaking. A few tips, firstly if you get a question that you need to factorise a matrix do as much factoring as you can before you expand out using the determinate formula.

Apart, from that just practice drawing diagrams and reasoning from that. Also, going over the question in C4 about vectors will help.

P.S. To be honest the only problem with FP4 is that book that teaches it is rubbish, although that big problem with AQA further maths books.

P.P.S. Yeah, decision. Decision 2 I'm finding easy but I don't like decision 1.
