Math SL May 2008 Paper 1

I can't remember the last question...but I certainly remember the 2nd question of the exam. It was about identities...something like sin 140 and cos 110. Something like that.

Hey everyone, I think Paper 1 was a bit of a massacre... Especially question 9 I agree with what you guys, the specimen was so easy but then IB raped us all.

Anyway, I wanted to let you know that friend of mine created a group on Facebook out of this frustration. The group has over 100 members already - all who are complaining about the excessive difficulty of some questions on Maths SL IB Paper I. The idea is that since teachers must send in a report to the IB assessing the exam for it's difficulty (or to make suggestions), if we get enough students complaining to their teachers and enough negative reports on this past exam then the IB might consider *CONSIDER* lowering the grade boundaries.

I already looked at the exam with my maths teacher and we determined that indeed there were some very unfair questions. He will consult with the entire group of CEESA Maths teachers and hopefully send in a joint complaint to the IB.
I did this in half-an-hour. You can do it too! Your precious IB points are at stake!

Thanks

never mind i just read the rest of the posts and i guess im time zone one as well... the explanation ur teacher gave u for question 2 is the same my genius friend gave me.. they shouldnt have asked that though because unless ur a serious math thinker theres no way i wouldve ever thought of doing that especially since i had never seen a question like that in any past paper. i dont know.. that just bothered me... whatever.. oh and the vector question of our paper 2 ... i was also mad because of that one cuz i studied vectors a lot but the way they phrased the questions threw me off and i didnt know what to do.. blahhh
