It was nice, yeah. How'd you do? :h:

ah whoops, i got 72/75 which is an improvement. Q8a threw me off, I didnt realise it was just a substitution :frown:

( so got 3/6 for the first part of it

the reduction formula was lovely i thought, I love when you get some algebra(?)/manipulation with the

\displaystyle I_n

term

Aaah, that's still really good and I think it's still full UMS, iirc so good job! :biggrin:

I really liked the last question, to be honest. I felt that the reduction formulae was too "guided" from the first part linking to the second, etc... :redface:

ah wow nice :biggrin:

other than the last one the paper seemed straightforward enough for me so I'm surprised boundaries are so low

I can never remember the revolution formula (i had to look it up), i think im going to make posters of them and stick them in my room, with little silly methods on how to remember them :laugh:

. Yea it did make it obvious how to start but i think the multiplying by the squared term after doing IBP was tough enough for FP3 standard you know. They cant make it too hard (its not step III :laugh:

)

Would you say FP3 is to STEP III what C4 is to STEP II?

Wait, whaaat? Those are in the formula booklet! I don't remember them either, but you can look them up in the booklet. :redface:

So there shouldn't be any use for posters or such, riiiiight?

I suppose that's a fair model, yeah. :biggrin:

are they? I have the 2009 version of the formula book and its not in there, so unless they've been added since then? but yea they're not in my one anyway

I seen your recent post about a II mock, an S, niceee job :biggrin:

how is III going?

I've got the 2009 (I think) version as well, they're on a page of their own, just check again? It's on page 13 of mine.

Haha, that was a III, 2004 mock. Thanks! :biggrin:

I'm finding II easier than III on the whole, I think.

I dont have a page 13, page 12 then goes to mechanics on pg14, ive noticed that before hahaha how weird that the page i miss has the most vital formula for me on it :biggrin:

thank you i will go print that now

Oh that was III :eek:

jfc you are doing amazing. I am liking II myself, im still a bit slow though :frown:

but speed will come with time and more practice i guess

You like printing stuff out, I see! Haha, yay! Now you won't need to memorise it. :biggrin:

Nah, it was just an easy paper. :redface:

You could give it a try yourself, you'd probably do better than me! Slow is to be expected, don't worry. You're doing very well, from what I can see. :yep:

@aymanzayedmannan hey, just wanted to check how far into S3 you've gotten. I've tried a few exercises and examples and I'm either being really dumb or the textbook has a bunch of mistakes. So I was wondering if I could check with you. :colondollar:

i haven't proceeded past chapter 3, been waiting for you to finish it up. what are you doubting?

why dont you ask me how im getting on

EDIT: someone rep me for moral support xoxo

u have my rep fam

Done FP3 2009 today, I seriously recommend it as your next mock, you will looveee it. :dance:

(you'll know what question in particular im talking about once you do it)

Edit: @aymanzayedmannan you too mister :h:

ooo I've done that paper, but i just scraped 56/75. :frown:

i'll be redoing it this weekend, do you think that's a good idea?

S'all good, cleared it up. I've finished up Chapter 3 now, we can move on to Chapter 4! I presume you'll be starting over the weekend or sometime now?

I much prefer physical copies to digital ones, thanks again for pointing this out, otherwise I would have learnt them off unnecessarily

I dont want to get hooked on STEP III too haha, I and II will be enough for me (although I definitely will try those questions you and louis said were good), definitely not better than you though :laugh:

yea so long as the scores are good i'm not worried about time at this stage :u:

not zacken but if ur getting a low mark then i think theres some lack of understanding of the concept. Try finishing the review exercise and then attack the past paper. Worked for me

I actually redone a paper (by accident) about 2 weeks ago and didnt realise, so I think it would be a nice idea, you most likely wont remember the answer (at least I didnt) so it kind of feels like a new paper

Did you like the reduction formula question??
