Oh then my formula would add up yes, so worst case scenario you can drop a mark. ****.If proof comes up for 3 marks I'm done for!

I know right? Proofs are where I consistently **** up. They don't like my wording xD

I just don't "get" proof. It's the same in C3 - I've just given up trying to be good at it tbh.

Proof is okay! The questions are usually just "prove every number of this form is divisible by blah" or "prove 2^(1/2) is irrational", stuff like that. Its just a bit of algebraic rearranging.

I was relying on the frameworks question for marks! I got an answer for everything... whether they were right who knows.

Yeah, sorry for the bad description :tongue:

it didn't make any sense to me,but I just put it as though P was moving up the slope anyway and got a one decimal place answer so I dunno :/ haha

Ah well! I should still get around 7 or 8/10 hopefully! I just couldn't believe how tricky it was!! None of the past papers have ever been that bad!!
