My final exam is a calculus paper :smile:

Nothing too exciting really, just chilling before uni :cool:

Oh right makes sense now. :yep:

what will you be doing at uni? Broad range of subjects there so couldn't hazard s guess as to what it may be.

Not fair! I have AH Maths on Wednesday and AH French on Friday still.

Not looking forward to the 3 hour AH Maths exam.

So basically
the only stuff I 100% understand:
first and second order DEs, method of differences, de moivre, Taylor expansion from DEs
stuff I kinda understand and can get most of the marks on on a question but a tricky question throws me off:
inequalities (idek why), solving complex equations/roots of unity, loci in the complex plane
stuff that baffles me: complex transformations, polar coordinates

Ugh. Leaver's do last night. I drank too much, let it be said. It was fun and all, but I feel pretty ill now. I don't understand why alcohol is so popular - it's a poison and it feels like it. I felt very euphoric and laughed a lot, but the lack of control shows that it's not great for you. I think I'll stick to illegal, non-toxic drugs for now... :I

Ah, yeah complex numbers can be pretty tricky!

Loci aren't too bad if you just remember the formula to get that line and the gradient. Roots of unity you just cycle through k = 0,1,2,3 etc. until you get back to the beginning.

I'm sure you'll be great anyway, no need to fret too much.

So yesterday I completed my first exam (AS resit). I used three extra booklets (4 page each,) but at the end I wasn't sure what number to put concerning the number of booklets I had used (i.e. was it 3 (excl. My original 12 page booklet) or 4 (inc. My original 12 page booklet) or WHERE to put it there was a box on each page asking this.

But the invigilator collecting my paper said to 'Leave that' but I'm very sure she was confused looking and wasn't sure what she was doing as in my past, an invigilator has instructed me on where to write this number.

So now I'm worried that OCR won't see/know about those extra sheets (I tucked them all in in order inside my main answer booklet however)....

At least you get it chopped into modules, we just have to remember EVERYTHING in a 3 hour exam.

But yeah, I feel your pain.

Same for CIE Further Maths A level :frown:

One 3 hour paper w/ all FP
Another 3 hour paper w/ all Applied Modules

yeah a 3 hour exam doesn't exactly seem nice. :/ The algebra gets ridiculous sometimes though

In Scotland, we have a Pure Maths Advanced Higher and then the option to do either Applied Maths: Stats or Applied Maths: Mechanics (also 3 hours).

Life is a struggle, eh?
