Maybe I'll actually try timing properly, checking marks and everything like a real exam... How do you time? With an alarm?


Yeah, but I'm slow even with questions where you just use the standard integrals. Differentiation and integration of inverse trig always confuses me and circle geometry I forget properties and the reasons. I had a question where I could prove it, but I didn't know how to write the reason O_O the one about intercepts and stuff D:
i use my phone's stopwatch.
Keep practising and youll improve.
yes start without a time restriction, then mark it, & see how u go.

Tommykins, do you know what band and scaled percentage ~60/84 would be?

Based on the 2001 figured approximately 90.

As for time i think the extra year would do you good. I have no trouble finishing them now.

I'd say that 90/100 or 45/50 would be around 55-60/84.

I reckon 96/100 would be around 70- 73 ish.

People tend to forget hat 3U scales ridiculously well.

Actually seems about right but might be about 4 or so short in both cause 90 is about 58-62 i believe.

Hm, I guess 70-75 would be around 48/50 then.

I hope it's this so I can get 48! :)

In any case, hopefully 95 is 70/84 so I can get 48.

The joys of doing 3U maths. LOLL.

There's a kid in my school who turned 12 on the day of the Ext 1 or 2 exam, he got 97 for Ext 1. I think he said that he got around mid 70s/84 maybe around 75.

2007 paper mx1 is really easy, but i found the 2006 paper pretty difficult.

think we'll get an average difficulty paper this year
