OCR (not MEI) FP1 - 16/06/2011

Original post by Jampolo

I think i did better in D2 than in D1, but still.. i didn't like it. Yeah it is looked down on, they place emphasis on mechanics and pure mathematics, which im good at(except mechanics :P ) so just pure basically! And that probably is true, D1 puts down my average :frown:

sorry for long reply went for a jog :biggrin:

Haha, no worries, i've been binging on chocolates to be as not-so-worried about the exam as possible :P
And yeah, I'm better at pure maths, haven't done a mechanics module yet so i'm not sure how that'll go. Hated S1 too :/ it is pretty straightforward, but when you get the marks - BOOM! Got like 80 when i thought i'd get 99 or something :P

Hehe i need to tire myself out before i go to sleep at like 12pm again..
Mechanics SHOULD be straight forward, i just find it hard :frown:

Doing s2 and 1 in january, might self teach S3 :tongue:

need to secure an A* in FM :frown:

I'm doing S2 and M1 in Jan too :P I seem to be the only one wanting to do the complete A level FM in my school :frown:

lol, everyone else wants to drop it after AS :/
What other subjects do you do?

Ow, well we have two classes and it goes down to one in the second year, but we're quite a big college.
I do economics and physcs, dropping physics unless i do amazing in my results :tongue:

simply because my economics UMS is a lot better and i prefer it. You?

I do the three sciences and RE; though i'm dropping Physics, and only doing an AS in RE, 6 is too much when it comes to A2 :P

mwhaha way too much! Im only doing three :wink:

as much as i'd like to take physics on to A2, i'd rather just take three and do well. I just need to maximise UMS for university !! Im off to bed now! Good luck in the exam, maybe i'll be on here in the morning :tongue:

I don't know, that depends on how well the exam goes for me :P If it goes bad, i won't be signing in here for the next half a year :P

Yes, hope to see the results afterwards. Good luck everyone!

Hope the induction question isn't too hard...

I'm PRAYING it's one of those matrices ones :P But then, if it's easy, they sure will make something else hard :/

I hope on the induction ones the 'is divisible by/is a multiple of' question doesn't come up. I've done all the past papers, i just hope they don't add a mad mofo in the paper today - OCR be nice today!!!

Good luck everyone!

It's fairly nice :smile:

All you have to do is assume U(k) is divisible by the number.

Then, rearrange the rest of the equation and take the number out as a factor to demonstrate the bit left over is also divisible by the number :smile:

A friend of mine does that but i use a different method as i dont assume its divisible by the factor, i show it so theres a bit of confusion there ! But thats off the point, i keep thinking this paper will spring a few surprises..
