WOOO C1 AND C2. Unless they sneak in any evil questions, I have a feeling this is going to be rather easy.

What is the different between the uk paper and the international? Is it just the international is harder? As I'm struggling to answer some of them questions, do you think the uk paper will be similar to last years international one or are they always considerably harder?

From what i've been told, the international syllabus/expectations are a bit different.

I'd focus on the normal past papers/resources tbh and wouldn't worry too much if you struggle with something on the international one.

how did you get 90 in c1 :frown:
Does anyone know the rules for marks awarded if you have completely the correct method, but accidentally just get a wrong number? I keep making stupid mistakes on past papers like copying down the wrong number from the question and I feel like I should get at least some marks :tongue:

I'm sure they award marks when it is an 'error carried forward', from what I've heard. It depends though, I'm not too sure:s-smilie:
how you guys preparing for c1 on monday

Yeah, I hope so. I'm getting really frustrated with all the basic errors I keep making though - like copying down things wrong or getting basic calculations slightly off...It's like I know how to manipulate complicated algebra but can't multiply 2 and 3 together :P
Its the same with me I'm just hoping monday is the day when my brain decides to make no silly errors and everything is on point. But on a monday morning with 5 exams this week might be hard to control haha :wink: best you can do is try.

If it's a decent paper I can get 100UMS but mistakes push me down to a low A in practise papers :frown: ffs!
