Edexcel: 11th and 14th June 2013 (Linear) 1MA0/1H + 2H (Official Thread)

So is compound interest an exclusively calculator topic?

And what about proof?

Proof of what? proofs typically don't require a calculator so could be on either

Compound interest with only a few simple compounded calculations could be in non calc - I think I can recall one example - but really the knowledge they are testing using an efficient method of multipliers is typically more a calculator skill

Fair enough.
I mean proof of circle theorems, since I haven't seen any come up recently....

Although it says in the specification 'prove and use' I can't recall a question from recent years where you were required to prove circle theorems but will be asked to use them - could be either paper

So would you say it's unlikely a question like that will come up??

What topics have you guys really struggled with?

hi , i was just wondering:

are the examiners lenient on this paper?

also..

if you write things by the questions to help you out (i.e y = mx + c), do you get marks deducted?

thank you in advance

What topics have you guys really struggled with?

Simultaneous equations! I just can't get my head around them!

Hi Guys,

I'm doing the exam on the 11th and 14th of June, I was wondering if anybody know the topics that definitely will come in the exam, or might appear. Also, how confident are you? I'm pretty much confident, I've been practicing and I'm getting A*. I hope the same for you all.

Regards
Omar,
