Did you only start learning it now or what

Yeh did abit of Ch 1 yesterday. Then been doing it since afternoon today lol.
Gna be a fun noght. Probably wont sleep tonight mast exam. Need a C to get A*.

What book you got? The D2 book (not the heinmann one) is easier imo but too late now i guess. Also, how can you get an A* with a C in D2

I got the normal edexcel one massive fat ting.
Well majority of my pures FP and mechanics are at 100 or near 100 (bar m5 which i probs got 80) so i need a low grade for a third A* in AFM. Which is what i need.

You need 90%+ average in your A2 units to get A*. So I would aim for higher in D2 if I were you.

No you don't. You need 270/300 in 3 A2 modules for FM and AFM.
I have 95 FP2 100 M2 FP3 96 or skmething done last year
This year 100 M3/4 and a minimum of a B in S3/M5 so no i don't need higher in D2 as I meet the A* criteria I just have to meet the 480 UMS overall criteria.

Yeah but I said 90% assuming you are only doing 3 A2 modules. Why are you doing 6 A2 modules?

If you're given a network it's normally straightforward. I don't know if this is too helpful but:
Otherwise Stage is normally either

Option 1
Option 2

We're on the same page hahah, you resitting fp1?

Lol.
Have you done past papers? I hardly have

If you have a degenerate solution, do you have to fill a 0 into one of the cells before beginning the stepping-stone method? And if so, which cell do you choose? I know it makes no impact on initial cost, but surely it would make a difference when you're working out the improvement indices?

doesnt matter which one

Anyone quick....... Page 156 D2 book, why do they add 4 to every value in the game
