Mathematics Applicants 2012

Ehh, just about, got 82 UMS i think (despite thinking it had gone brilliantly... )

N'awww, linear prog questions are the best! They're the only part of the paper that actually feels mathematical and its quite interesting to see the outcome of your modelled situations sometimes.

Probs, im AQA, good luck to you too!

Trust me i feel like it . Just getting a bit bored right now having crammed all day- i have just about the required knowledge and understanding to get an A* now but it'll depend on the questions that come up and not making mistakes, so its going to be hairy to say the least .

Ooh thats the course i applied for so fingers crossed i hear something soon!!
I've heard from my other 4 choices.........

Just did my C3 resit and I KNOW I got 100 UMS. Woot!

Dammit! Forgot you like negs... Don't worry, I shall come back and neg you one day

Well done!

Haha, thanks, yeah I'm real happy. Needed 99 for an A*, but just checked TSR and all my answers are right, not to mention this years questions were so bad half the people are calling up AQA to complain!

All sounds good then Yeah, this year OCR got a few complaints about the C1 paper... one from someone in my school in fact. Not sure I get what the fuss is...

Well I suppose people work hard, get to the exam, can't clock the exam and just get really irritated because they feel they deserved better. So instead of thinking to themselves that they just weren't good enough on the day. They call up, rant, rant to friends and hope for a lower grade boundary. ;D

Definitely Imperial if I get an offer from them. I'm a tad worried about it all since... if I don't get A*AA I won't get AAA, I'll get A*AB. Predicament but I'm hoping that if Imperial give me an offer they'll allow me to mess up an A level.

Sorry to disappoint you:
One: Imperial is STRICT with their offers, I had one of A*A*A and I got A*A*B with missing the A by 7 UMS and it was a NO! My Insurance Bristol said yes though...
Two: My friends who didnt fail miserably went to Imperial to do Maths and HATE it. Their timetable is 9-5 everyday and the work given means they have to work till at least 2 (If you want at least a 2:1) So In short you have NO life at Imperial.

Better off at UCL!

Agghh that D1 exam....one of the most stressful things ever!!!! I was literally shaking by the end of it!! I finished with about 30 secs left...something clicked right at the end...Hopefully i'll have done enough to get an A - i wouldn't be able to face resitting!

Did anyone else do D1 edexcel today?

i didn't complete the paper... but the paper went surprisingly well considering I self-studied the course. it was also more fun than i expected - as you know there was a chocolate bar at stake, and my friend challenged me to beat his 85 with under 3 hours of studying (which he did last year!)

That's crazy. I know it's simple but all these "make your method clear" things are just a pain.

I hope you do! how are your exams going and thats good, im still waiting on edinburgh

I self studied too but have done more than 3 hours of revision for it!!!!!!
Yeah it was pretty fun i guess..not really like a conventional exam as such....i kept it close to the wire though!!!
I hope you get the chocolate bar!

well i did have m1 on the same day and 7 more modules to come so i think i'll be forgiven for the lack of revision... and i think i might actually get the chocolate bar since i revised the most in my class! some of the people in the exam hall just decided to take a nap... and i think one or two must have handed in an empty paper.
