I'm not actually sure, I never really heard about papers being replaced until last June when they had to replace the C4 paper and I remember reading it in the news somewhere.

It's a shame we can't use the ones we won't sit as mocks as that'd give us some more practice, oh well we shall still go and smash them anyway! :biggrin:

Oh yeah, its a bit of a waste of a paper, then again both papers probably have similar formats so it would give it away?

I dislike easy papers :colonhash: they result in high grade boundaries, meaning silly mistakes could lose me a **** ton of UMS!


Thats what happened in C1 I guess :angry:

Yeah, that's got to be the reason otherwise it wouldn't make much sense not letting us know what was in the original, oh well I'm just hoping no one has been hellish with the M2 paper as I need it to be 91+ to obtain my A* in Further Maths and right now that is the one I'm concerned about the most, the rest I find pretty simple in comparison, just need to fully grasp the M2 content.

Anyway you should probably focus on C2 considering its today :tongue: Are you feeling confident about it?

Very nice! I'll probably just do a bit more Chemistry today and leave the 15 Maths papers I've been set for the half term :tongue:

And that's good to hear, just remain calm and take your time to answer your questions so you don't make a mistake, but fast enough that you actually answer them all, it's the worst feeling when you've ram out of time in an exam and you didn't answer all the questions.

You'll have to let us know how it goes, but not before tomorrow I believe. :biggrin:

I really hope so! :frown:

Question... If they ask you to show hh(x) = x where h(x) is a function.

And then ask you to find f^-1(x) and you don't just swap the numerator and denominator... And you re arrange (even though it says, "hence") would you get marks?:dontknow:

Hmm I'm not too sure I've been asked about that, sorry :-/ Whenever I'm trying to find the inverse I always change my variables and rearrange to make one of them the subject of the formula then I swap the variables at the end.

That always helps :tongue: And yeah I do the exact same thing in my exams and they seem to work quite nicely for me and I should still up at that time but I might've gone up as the last 4 weeks of only having 5 hours of sleep each night is starting to take some effect :-/

Are you doing OCR A Chemistry, if so good luck with the second unit as its a big one, the only one I decided not to resit as it was too large to learn in the 1 and a half months that I've had :tongue:

Well I'm not sure what's in WJEC C3 compared to Edexcel so I'm not really able to help you :-/ I'm sure you'll know of any weaknesses that you might have by now?

Functions probably :tongue:

I sometimes get the domain in the wrong order eg...

(-3, -2) instead of (-2, -3)

Kind of nervous even though I've done a lot of revision...

I see, that's what would catch me out in C3, not the normal domain and range but when you've got to do the inverse you would swap the two around, that seems to be difficult to me :-/ Do you understand where you're going wrong and how you can fix it?

Nope! I thought logic would say the lower value first, but I guess not :redface: I'll do them respectively :mmm:

Anyway. I'll be off now :biggrin:
