That's good! How did you find Jan 12 C4?

I got 63/75 with harsh marking, so I was pretty pleased, although there's room for improvement!

Thank you! Fills me with a bit of confidence ahead of Wednesday, although some of my friends who had the mock today complained! :L

Well, you can just tell by the grade boundaries that the mock is difficult. Don't see why anyone wouldn't complain about its difficulty haha!

That's not terrible! What was the boundary for an A*? Probably that sort of mark!

Yeah, at least if I find it hard I know that it was the hardest of recent papers.

Hahah, such a perfectionist! An A* is an A* :wink:

I just pray for 90 UMS in Core 3 and Core 4, then M2, provided I get more than 3 UMS, won't matter. It's the grade at the end of the day, and not the UMS that is worried about :wink:

Ah that's good!
I have to always skip the Hooke's Law question in the past papers I've been doing. Might have to catch up by only answering those questions from past papers that I've skipped after it's been taught!

I'm doing the same for stats, that's why I really need that 100 ums on C3 & C4 :biggrin:

M2 is a really good module though, you should try some papers. I actually enjoy doing mechanics papers that's how much I like it

Ah I see why you're being perfectionist now :wink:

I've done 2005-2008 M2 papers and June 09 + Jan 10 for homework so I've done a few!

I'm by no means as comfortable with M2 as I am with Core 3 and Clre 4 but I guess that's not a bad thing?

What other subjects do you do? :smile:
