jessiebee Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 If my time zone conversions are correct, we're all good to start talking about paper 1... we'll have to wait a day or so to talk about paper 2 and 3 though. Paper 1 was brilliant in my opinion! Section A was pretty straightforward, and Section B was clever - loved the last question on complex numbers, and the one on vectors. Overall it was a good paper!

Francisco Quezada Santos Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 What? I hated paper one. I guess I cant just compare it now with the number 2 and 3 but overall I kind of found it ridiculous. All of my classmates found it rather difficult and if you compare it with past paper 1s you´ll notice a significant difference too... Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not to say it wasn't hard - most of our class (including me) barely finished the thing... and yeah it was worse than the May papers, but a little more achievable than the specimen I think. At least it's over Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBfreakingout! Posted November 14, 2014 Report Share Posted November 14, 2014 Well most people at my school found paper 1 harder than paper 2....except one guy. I personally will be happy with a 4.... Paper 2 went slightly better than paper 1 for me. Just glad its over. It was my hardest subject.

olorb Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 Yeah, we found this a little bit hard, but overall it was acceptable. Section B was a little bit time consuming, but the first one was achievable! I feel this paper was better for me than paper 2 though, and let's not include paper 3 in which I felt a little bit lost Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkib3 Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 For me, Paper 1 was somewhat easy (am I being the weird guy....?? ), think I lost 4 marks for sure, about the interquartile range question. Paper 2 went fine except the last question (Q14 I remember), I think I lost all the marks on that. Paper 3...I think I lost all the marks on Q3 and about 10 from Q4 . Not sure about Q1 and Q2, but I got so panicked at the word 'isocline' on Q3 that I forgot to do the Euler question (I knew how to do that) and get 4 marks. Overall, the difficulty of the questions seemed slightly harder than 2013 and 2014 past papers. Especially paper 3. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better than me in all Just wondering, what option did u do for paper 3? We did Stats and Probs Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibiloveit Posted November 15, 2014 Report Share Posted November 15, 2014 All my class found papers 1 and 2 hard, but overall we agree paper 2 was harder. Paper 1 was generally okay except for the last question, and Paper 2 I thought would be easier since p1 was harder than average. But it wasn't. Paper 3 (Stats & Prob) was fine though, which I hope will compensate for the others.Just hope the boundaries are low so that I get a 7 :/ Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had the same panic with the 'isoclines' haha! but after all it was just about ploting the 4 lines, the euler one was easy! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
