Will the real TeeEm please stand up!

that is about right

I definitely ran out of time, wasted too much time on the eigenvector question, and then when I got to qu 7 and 8 I didn't have enough time to think about them properly, so I was just scribbling things frantically without thinking much, another 15-20 minutes and I reckon I would have been able to answer them properly and do a lot better, but unfortunately 1 1/2 hours didn't seem long enough

I think 1 or 2 (many people missed that)
(that part in my opinion was pants as it is very difficult to know as a student if enough has been done for the "show")

I can officially enjoy my summer now. 57 Should get me the A.

.............

Honestly, i thought that whole show that was too trivial for 4 marks as you dont know how much to list and how much transform the reduction. Also, my friends told that the whole question is an example in the edexcel book and upon looking it is.

Are you being harsh or generous with your boundaries.

Are you being harsh or generous with your boundaries.

on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays I think I am harsh ...
on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays I think I am generous
and on Sundays I rest!

... I hope I am fair with them ...

-.-


Fair enough. Thanks again!

Hi. Just a little of the topic question, which maths/mechanics exam board do you think offers the best specification in terms of "student-friendly" and preparing for a maths degree? I saw the MEI offering much wider content than edexcel with lower boundaries.

I thought I answered you ... I definitely did I just did not press the submit button and my long reply was lost!

Anyway.

In my opinion the most logical board is EDEXCEL, although it misses some very important topics such as

polynomial roots, general proof, volume/area/surface about any line inc the y axis, linearization of graphs, general solution of trig equations, advanced equation solving, limits, improper integrals to name a few...

MEI is in my opinion the worse board. Its structure appears to have been compiled by someone who escaped from a lunatic asylum

Lol edexcel don't even cover transformations in form f(ax+b) in core maths.

as I said to name a few ...

Is mei the one with markov chains?

Hello, I know you're probably busy, but I'd appreciate it if you can give me an estimate for FP3. I'm a bit worried because I massively ****ed up the vectors question.


4. (Volume of rev.) I misremembered the formula and put 2pi in front of the integral, instead of pi.

5.Basically for part (c) I did bxc then did r.(bxc) = a.(bxc) (instead of using AB, AC, etc).

For (d) my method was correct but obviously because of (c) the final answer was wrong.

8. (c). I started it, but didn't have time to complete. Basically I had $(2\cos\theta, \sin\theta)$ and $(2\cos\phi, \sin\phi)$. I worked out their midpoints then gradient, then made a straight line equation using the midpoint coordinates and simplified.

Roughly how many marks have I lost?
