Mega A Level Maths Thread MK II

LOOL, haha yeah I manage to skip chores for 2 weeks, I don't have an excuse anymore :dontknow:

thats the disadvantage of being the only other female -.-

The word 'no' doesn't exist in the dictionary of typical Asian mums, when she says 'can you do the washing?' she actually means 'do the washing or else'

Lucky enough for me I've still got another 4 weeks to go so I can still get out of all the work :tongue:

And my mum is rather strict as well but I just tell her no then walk off, it always backfires later on in the day though when she makes me cook my own dinner.

Hoping for a hard or easy paper?

I want a hard one, it'll drop the 100UMS by at least one mark and it'll be more interesting

LOOL awwh, can never escape from mothers eh? :P Ahh yes a month of excuses! lmao yeah she makes sure I cook at least once a week for the family!
Everyone says C3 and C4 is significantly harder, my teacher told this arrogant boy that he can't get an A* in C3 and C4 because he cant even get 90 ums in C1 and C2 you reckon this is true? (Although its probably true, hes so annoying -.-)

Unless ofc you didn't revise C1 and C2 properly but went crazy with C3 and C4

I want one that is similar to Jan 2010 in difficulty, that will make it interesting :colone:

Edit: Clearly someone doesn't want a challenging paper :tongue:

Not at all and well they are harder, I wouldn't say significantly but you do have to work at it mainly. Also I would say your teacher is wrong as I didn't get 90 UMS in either C1 or C2 and last week I got 100% in my C4 mock where the rest of the class got E's :tongue:

It just depends how much he wants it really.

Ahh awesome, sick one :wink:

! I'm gonna work extra hard for C3 and C4 then!
Meh, he doesn't work, he expects good grades with no effort which is probably why she said that to him

I'm looking through the spec (for A2 since we're starting that in 3 weeks) and then I see that there's at least 1 question on C3 papers that will be a proof question.. why edexcel?

Thanks and yeah, as long as you understand the content and work on it quite a lot then there is no reason why you couldn't get a really good score in them and he sounds like what I was like last year :tongue:

How did you find C2 yesterday? :smile:

Also, I kind of like proofs :colondollar:

It was alright :smile:

lost around 9 marks (the cos trig question and the integration question) hoping to scrape an A now :smile:

how about you? Fair enough AS proofs, but I can only imagine what A2 proofs must be like, there's also a new topic called 'numerical methods' :s-smilie:

Numerical methods questions are free marks, trust me on this one :tongue:

There are no real "proofs" in A-level maths, even at A2. It's still the same old ridiculously straightforward "show" questions where you apply one rule or formula and the whole answer just falls out nicely :redface:

What do you mean?

I just wanted to know who else wanted to go All In or for full raw marks in M2 (like in Poker they put all their money in).

But apparently a lot (if you apply the law of averages :biggrin:

) is going for 100% than I thought and that means its again not going to be easy.

I have not much idea of how M2 feels like for everyone else as I don't do it at school but the grade boundaries suggests its the same as M1 and that's again scary :tongue:
