Edexce IGCSE Further maths - June 2013

Hello is there anyone, bar me, doing this qualification??

Im aiming for an A*..

hows revision going... have you started??

anyway.. there isn't a thread for it yet so i made this one

ryan

hey how was your paper 1?

ahaha... it wsnt bad. i ouldnt find the area of the triangle

but that was it .. hbu??

r u doing the exam @ 1

ryan

paper 1 for me was the best...but paper 2 on friday was a bit confusing...i coudnt prove r in it.......anyways both papers were good. hope to get an A*.

i found the 1st paper Ok..i couldnt get the area of the triangle... i guessed ..did you do this?
with paper 2i think i only got that r question wrong as well .. that was the only question i couldnt do

i tried using logs.. grrr hopefully will get an A* though... how were you doing in past papers?

ryan

I didn't like any of the pure maths papers!! The examiners set the paper to torture us or what!! Some were okay but

You all think this is super easy!
I found it really hard.. and I hope the grade boundaries are low..

Pretty sure it was a quadratic... Just do r^-1 (r^2 + r - 1) = 0 (or something along those lines!)

Then solve by completing le square.

You all think this is super easy!
I found it really hard.. and I hope the grade boundaries are low..

hehe.. i thought it was like the june/january 2012 ones...but a bite asier tbh

did you get the extended chain rule question in paper 1?

ryan

Sorry but I don'tremember the question. Just post it here if u remember and I'll tell u

Pretty sure I lost 1 mark for Paper 1 (pretty easy) and around 4 at most in Paper 2... wasn't TOO bad tbh.

it was the one where we had the volume for a solid.. i think it was V=4(pi)R^3
then dv/dt = ....
and there was something about H and we needed to find it when v=500 ??

i dont remember the question but i rememebr rechecking it and it was ok

what do you think you got in terms of marks?

I got 0.12 and I know its right. I hope I get above 70 in both papers! What are you xpecting??
