FP2 Mock (June 2011):

So let's do some analysis (the boring kind, not the maths kind):

Total time: 59:20 Total raw: 75 Total UMS: 100

Q1: inequalities. Took longer than I should because I did it in two different ways to check my answer. I'll need to improve my speed here. 9:32
Q2: Taylor series solutions to DE's took far longer than I should have fixing a silly mistake. 6:05
Q3: Easy first order DE, happy with my time. 3:45
Q4: Telescoping sums, easy, took me longer than I'd like because I work slowly to avoid silly mistakes, it was an easy one as well, need to cut down on my time. 7:22
Q5: Complex loci, my solution was far longer than need be, not pleased at all. 10:07
Q6: Polar co-ordinates, mildly enjoyable. Did well on this one. 07:03
Q7: Easy C3 stuff, took me long because I graphed to see if I got all my solutions. 8:07
Q8: Easy second order DE, surprised I didn't make a silly slip, pleased with my time. 07:04

All-around, I think I did okay. Certainly lots of space for improvement with regards to my timing issue.


Yea, you just did okay.

He's so subtle


Let's all hire him to tutor us :biggrin:

I'm exceedingly glad, wouldn't want the likes of you existing and populating the earth with more mindless cretins like yourself.


Lol, you time to the precise second is sad.

I am weighing up getting a FM tutor. I may do after April mid if past paper Easter break doesn't go well.

Not looking forward to hypothesis testing - S2 and Moments - M2.

Maths tutors are a waste since everythin can be self taught or just ask pple on here. Science ones may be useful I can imagine.

I've found that. When I tried to get one last year she just stared at me as I attempted cramming in May. She'd ask if I wanted help, I'd say no and then continue doing questions. :tongue:

I suppose S2 will be a bit harder to self teach. Some interpretation right? I only did some of the distribution stuff when I attempted to learn it previously.

@Zacken, I've not been following. Have you completed all your modules now?

Not particularly, very little interpretation. Examsolutions did the trick for me. It's quite straightforward.

Well, I've already sat C1-4, M1-3, S1-2, FP1 and Physics 1-3. I've learnt FP2 and am confident with it. I'm about 3/4 done with FP3 but it seems alright so far. I might pick up S3 for the bantz/insurance (probably will) and will self-teach it when I can find the motivation. I haven't even made a start/looked at Physics units 4-6 which I know I'll regret come cramming time, but I just can't be bothered doing physics right now.

It's all he can do, don't take that away from him. :wink:
