I got 29/30 today in the multiple choice section. Everyone else got like 17 at best . It worries me how people can't get a high score in it, it's so ****ing easy. People didn't even know what a fjord was and they do geography... :|
It's a reading test for pity sake


That's quite disturbing.. I guess reading just isn't the strength of some people :lol:
With every passing further maths lesson I become more and more glad that I changed my degree choice to pure physics

Interesting theory.. shame you're not doing a medicine degree so you could develop it further

Fair point, I can't counter that argument. Doctors, after all, do often become alcoholics. Kind of like teachers, I suppose - instead of "just understand it you ****wit" it's "stop dying". Depressing.

Public sector work isn't for me.

Preach :cool: what modules/board are you doing it on? Ocr fp3 is literally going right over my head atm

Edexcel fp2, s2 and d2
Fp2 makes me wanna die
S2 isn't so bad just a lot to remember and sometimes hard questions catch me off guard
D2 only done a tiny bit
Am also resitting m2& fp1 :frown:

What kinda stuff dya do in FP3? The things I find hardest atm is de moivres/complex numbers and loci, polar coordinates and differential equations </3

Are you mei? I'm doing OCR mei fp3 at the moment. Vector calculus is the devil's work!

Complex numbers *shudder* do you do hyperbolics as well? I find those pretty tough. I basically find anything that's not integration/differentiation difficult.

I find it strange that you guys have to do 'further maths' to learn this; we get taught a lot of this stuff at Advanced Higher here in Scotland.

We did basic hyperbolic & parabolic in fp1 but nothing like fp3 by the sounds of it.
I still find integration super hard, we've not covered it in maths and tried to do it quickly in further maths so we could carry on w differential equations but my brain hasn't caught up yet.

Hyperbolics are in my fp2. We do stuff like sinh, cosh and tanh etc. Where sinh(x)= 1/2(e^x - e^-x) it gets so confusing because all of the trigonometric identities are slightly different to normal trig.

Good luck with it all though :smile: I hope it goes okay for you. If you need any calculus help send me a PM and I'll try my best

Ew jesus that sounds horrible haha :frown: we don't do sinh etc.
Thankyou! And you! :smile:

From memory, isn't it just that any of the identities with sinh in (or it might be sinh^2) have a sign change before it? Osbourne's rule or something, so that would include cosech, tanh and coth as these have sinh in. I may be talking rubbish though, not done it in a while- I'll look at my notes in the morning if I remember.
