I'm as ready as I'll ever be, I think.

I've done all my summaries, learned all my formulas, done past papers 2001-2007 plus a past trial paper.

I can do Q 1-9.

Q 10 is an absolute bitch that I can never do... I can get like 1 mark for writing down a formula.

If you cannot do Q10, you have not understood the concepts in depth.

Give Q10 another shot.

I give Q10 a shot on every paper.

They're just ridiculously hard.

Like I was doing Q10 of 2002... I got half way through the first question and got stuck.

Each step took me 2 lines... It was just so hard to simplify! Too many freaking numbers. I could differentiate it fine, just simplifying is a bitch.

That's the main thing with Q9 and 10. It's simplification. If you don't know how to simplify, then you most likely will not know how to do it, unless it doesn't involves simply simplification :)

3U should be alright for me, just need to revise some questions. BUT 4U!!!I've been doing past papers for weeks. And today I did one which took me hours, I'm so tired....There's no way I can attempt all the questions in 3 hours.:mad1:

I'm not so worried about 2u right now. I'm just hoping I do extra well. lol

3u is eh. Will work on that for a bit more.

2 unit should be fine for me....I got 105/120 in my trial with about 10 of the marks I lost being stupid mistakes.....I do have problems with question 10 in most of the past papers, but I can usually get a few marks out of them despite not actually getting to the right answer. But I don't like probability AT ALL...and I'm not the biggest fan of superannuation & time repayments, so they could cost me a few marks.


3 unit is another story. I only just understood projectile motion yesterday, and still cannot do binomials and permutations & combinations haha. I also have a love/hate relationship with circle geometry, when I can get them out, I love it, but when I can't (which is about 50% of the time), I hate it.

I'm the same - the only real problems I have are Q10 and superannuation/loan repayments.
