OCR MEI AS Mathematics Core 1 13/05/2013

Matt_dragon

I'm retaking this exam as I only got 66UMS in January :frown:

I'm hoping for an A grade now when I've done all the past papers :smile:

Also this exam is clashing with FP1 so I'm gonna have almost 4 hours worth of maths exams on that day :/

can you help me with a question, i get it but i dont :/ if you get what i mean ha :/
its question 11i on the june 2012, it gives the x values as -0.5, -2, and 5. its asks for it in the form 2x^3, so you changes on of the roots to -1, by multiplying by two. And this changes the y intercept. but doesnt that change the whole cubic? if you get me :/ dont know how to explain myself :frown:

ps your right this thread has been dead for a while :tongue:

Oooh I remember this question from the mock!
Well what I did was multiply out the brackets of the cubic, and once I got the equation I multiplied it all by 2 and came out with the correct answer :smile:

If you get what I'm saying haha :smile:

I was set on an A grade in January as well, haha, well until I saw the paper. I panicked 25minutes into the exam :/

We'll be fine, don't worry! I'm more worried about Further Maths :frown:

Seriously considering dropping it next year haha.

P.S You are very pretty by the way :smile:

(assuming that's you in your avatar haha!)

Absolutely terrified for tomorrow because I'm worried about OCR throwing in some really weird questions, and I really need to do well in this paper to help bring up my AS mark because I'm awful at C2 and I don't really get M1 :frown:

Are you talking about the q3 cd=kr one (or something like that) on section A? Because that one was super weird :s-smilie:

Jan 2013 was a pretty tough paper...

Oh yeah that circle question! haha No-one in my class was able to get that one even the A students. My teacher went through it on the board and it didnt look to bad to be honest

i think a few people in my class got it, yeah same here, it didn't look too bad when our teacher went through it, i guess nobody was expecting anything like it in the exam..
