Yeah but im to hyped to sleep :colondollar:

Ima do a couple of questions then sleep and i'll wake up at half 6 :biggrin:

Thank you!! :biggrin:

D/w im not the type to stress out :wink:

Fair enough then and I should be up at that time as well :tongue:

And that's good to hear, I always go into my exams relaxed as you possibly can be, but it changes if I find more than 1 question I can't do straightaway, still aiming for the 100's though :biggrin:

Thanks but I've still got some time for my 9 remaining ones, so it should all be good :tongue:

And yeah that was me last year and now I won't accept anything less than two A*'s in both Maths and Further Maths, I've also been told that I've been nominated for outstanding achievement in the subject and I'll get a subject award for Further Maths too at my school :tongue:

Also who doesn't love a good bit of music, if only we could listen to it during the actual exams it would help me concentrate more :biggrin:

Not from my area.

Oh btw, whenever the question asks to prove whether fx is increasing/ decreasing you just differentiate and then sub in x right...

If there's a +ive grad-f(x) increasing for all values and if -ve then f(x) is decreasing for all values of x!

That's how I do it and how would you show a maximum or minimum point?

In my area the highest will probably be 1100/1200 I believe.

Very nice! It feels good because I've been getting 100% in my C4 and latest M2 mock too! FP2 is still getting there but it's also at 95% which isn't that bad for this far away :tongue:

And yeah I've went for a crazy amount of exams to get into my chosen university and thanks, I know the Maths ones should be okay but the Chemistry ones will be down to the day really :-/ I also found out that the awards evening is the night that I've had 6 hours of Maths exams during the daytime -.- And the way I see it is always aim for the best and then you settle for A's and so on :tongue:

Agreed!
