AQA A2 Mathematics MPC3 Core 3 - Friday 5th June 2015 [Exam Discussion Thread]

What would people say is the hardest paper they've come across for this unit?

June 2013 for me.

Oh right! Not attempted that one yet - why would you say it was hard?

I meant Jan 2013, sorry! There's a integration by subsitution question involving trig functions where you have the subsitution of u = tanx and you have to solve the integral of sec^4 x (tan x)^1/2 with the limits of pi/4 and 0. it's 8 marks.

How is C3 revision going for everyone?

Not bad so far for me - a few hard papers but I think C4 will definitely be the more challenging of the two exams.

I agree. I think it's probably the hardest of the A level maths exams (not including further Maths)

It is! The earlier core 4 papers (pre-2012) seem to be manageable, but beyond that they've become noticeably harder! Got my C4 June 2014 mock tomorrow! ;(

God bless dude. You'll ace it!

Thanks for the encouragement! Will give it my best shot! Sorry if I've already asked, but have you done June 2014? Ill let you know how it goes haha.

I haven't unfortunately. I have them C3, C4 and M2 June 2014 as mocks in the coming weeks so I'm trying to avoid them on TSR.

Haha, good luck with that! Some of the C3 questions are hard, and I've heard C4 is a nightmare!
I won't spoil the fun by revealing the questions though

Thank you! I'm just going to prepare myself for anything.

Oh that's very sensible. Good luck! Let us know how the M2 June 2014 mock goes, as after today that's the only 2014 paper I won't have done

I will!

June 2014 was the hardest Core 4 paper I've ever done haha. Looking at the unofficial MS I'm hoping I've got ~60/75.
