UmanngBharali Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Hey folks, so I believe 24 hours is over and I just want to ask, how did your Math SL papers go? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynxarin Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Not very happy with my paper 1, questions 9 and 10 were unlike anything I had revised.. 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I agree with you on this. Even i struggled in those questions in particular. However, the rest of the paper went fairly well. Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon9867 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 really bad, nothing compared with past paper. I completely screwed it 2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevG Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I found the last two pretty alright actually, but I messed up the vector question like by a lot, but I wrote some bs with cos theta = 0 and stuff so I'm hoping to get follow through pts for that Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon9867 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Think that it was TZ2 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that the first question of section B was the one with the tree diagram? Was that TZ2? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnjaDe Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 I personally struggled with the last question on paper 1 and the vectors, but that is what I expected, since integration and vectors were my weak points... Otherwise, I might lose a few points here and there because I spent about 20 minutes trying to solve the last one and didn't check other answers... Personally, I think it was a bit harder than I hoped for, but I wouldn't say that it was much harder from the two previous years. What do you think was harder?

I am pretty weak at vectors but I was able to do the one which I got in my paper. I didnt enjoy the last 2 questions in particular, it was a bit of a pickle for me and I think I may have invested a large amount of time in either one of them.

TZ2, the vectors task was easy, I just forgot what a "unit vector" meant, so I couldn't solve it... What was the second question in section B?

It was very similar to the specimen paper, with some question like the last of Section A that went pretty bad, but I found it ok even if Math's not my strong spot Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the second question in section B? Sorry, but I dont seem to recollect what it was. I have this bad habit of forgetting the questions unless someone reminds me..I just remember having a hard time in that question, the last 3 sub parts I think. I may have made some error.

elle98 Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) It was an absolute disaster, from the first question on it went downhill from there. the questions were just so different from what i learned in past paper questions especially the one with the cuboid.

Do you remember what were the tasks in the cuboid question? Except, the area formula and finding the costs of painting? Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was to find the minimum height and cost of paining the cuboid The minimum height was 3 and the total cost was $120 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
