(e^ipi + 1)^2016 + 2016
guys i think trig will be on p2
you spoiled it you flippin neek
Fr @proud hedge why you gotta ruin it
U did it purposely
Because why wouldn’t maths be on paper 2
log(sin^2x)+e^cos(x)+log(cos^2(x)+e^sin(x)+log(tan^2(x)+2)+2014, when x=1.58
no
do we need to be able to derive calculus rules
No
Ones like differential of a^x = a^x lna have come up before I thought
ive seen that in a mock set paper
That would be interesting
Imagine having to prove by parts in a level in an exam
the proofs are there but I don’t think u should know them only some
nah i mean like what riad say
said
i dont remember learning it so yeah, no we dont
nah we dont need to know them
Think we need to know this one
you derive it in the exam though
just ln both sides and differentiate
yea ik
how much working out do we need to show with quadratic formula
can we just go from ax^2+bx+c =0 to the solutions?
or do we need to write out the formula with values subbed in
depends
no don't say that
fighting and proud
if i don't get it then ill die with pride and dignity
if anything im waiting for our maths revision session to start 🥲
monday? 🤧
ohh nice
better than O 😅
O for Obesity in stupidity
nuh uh
😪
no
i'm boycotting edexcel maths from u
unless that O turns to an A i'm boycotting this shit
oh
now shhhh i'm off to do a past paper in bed
Do the actual exam in bed
shitting myself
i wish
67??? thats closer than i thought 😭
is your last exam maths?
just max out mech fr
i need to revise both.. badly 😭
i hate stats sm
damnn u sure you arent aiming for an a*
i need an A
i could teach stats and you could teach mech 🤔
no
oh
like i said
oh fairs
boycotting edexcel maths from u
i need my O grade
least i got from p1 like 5 days ago is 40/100 and most i got is at least 70/100
quite a big range
draw a bloxplot might help with stats revision
O for Obnoxious
stfu
large data set my ass
i don't even revise it
whaaat how??
its useless anyways 😭
weather in heathrow 1987
O for o-mazing
O for Obscure
🤔
If they ask for an exact value you’d have to sub in
@graceful ingot how is 0 possible
ehhhh
tbh if u check the last one and see the message under urs
zl got 0/40
so it doesnt look thaaaat bad
that’s what i’m wondering 😭😭
what if its part of a wider solution?
has anyone got predicted paper 2s?
2135
2136
2137
2139...
2140

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Odsx-Ci9lo
i used these they're alright
you're probably better off revising topics if you've already done a decent amount of past papers
same
2143
Is there a mark scheme for all the questions
How is there this much possibilities I just put one of them equal to 28 and the other to 1 and showed that they weren’t integers
u just needed to do 1 and 28, 7 and 4
hi guys, is there a predicted paper for maths paper 2 edexcel a level tomorrow
and specifically not that mr astbury
whys everyone hating on him
idk i can’t stand him teaching
😂
2154
Oh I think I forgot to do 4
bro doesnt rate the j cole of maths
And 7
You guys do know there might be 0 vectors and circles lmao
There just predicted
It could a paper with functions and stuff on it again for all we know
Lol impossible
Very small chance that happens
They’re not just going to completely neglect vectors and circles
Mr Astbury on yt
Plsplsplsplsplsplspls
Fuck vectors
Bane kf my existence
no circles or vectors or trig proof on paper 1
if they dont have a circles of vectors question ill send you 1p
What do you guys think the likely circle question might be on
The thing is the thing where a line intersects at two different points came up last year so I don’t think it will come up this year
its gonna be some shit like circle and tangents and a line y = ax + k and range of values of a or k for which it intersects by some number of point
that came up last year
stuff can repeat
thats a really common type of circles question
cause theres not many hard things they can ask on circles
theres also those questions where they give you like y = 2x + k or something similar and you sub it back into the circle equation and take discrminant and solve to get some values and show something
its probably one of those 2 or an easy question
we got one of these last week right? so its unlikely we get another tomorrow?
unlikely
i dont think we will actually
0.5% chance
we had 2 of them
mayb rates of changes comes up
we did?
the balloon question was one
and there was a ank one too i hear dsomeone say
so ye u right
I think rates of change might be again
Feel like edexcel like a good rates of change question so shove them in wherever they can
rates of change didnt come up in paper 1
it was forming differential equations and solving them
nope
Like way before that one
the tank was solving
Idk what I'm thinking then
Maybe one of the papers I did before the exam
Hoping the vector question isn’t too hard
Hopefully not the questions where you have to find two different pathways and equate co-efficients
same
do you want aj maths predicted paper?
I’ll send it over if you’d like
im pretty sure this was written before paper 1
so its not vry accurate
but he also said his p1 was pretty good so idk
Yeah so use both innit think wisely love
his paper 1 was pretty accurate imo so yeah just use both it’s ntd
k
Like a 2 mark question came up 3 times that came up in paper 1 I don’t think seeing something like that makes it inaccurate xo
I’ve already done it but I appreciate it
do we think we're gonna get (1+ax) expansions again?
why not
prolly not
Good luck guys
did we get a lot of geeomettric sequences last week?
just one
Will probs be a modelling or just an arithmetic series q
ty
in parametric trig integration questions. how do you know which way around to put the bounds so that you get a positive integral?
is it that if both your x and y are decreasing or increasing its pos (so the small bound is on the top). but if only one is decreasing then its neg (so the big bound is on the bottom)
when i say bound i mean limit
maths was SOOOO GOOD
Maths ends in like 15 minutes
Not everyone starts at 1:30
maths paper 2
i started at 1 and for me we can leave early since i do mine in a private centre lol
they’re really chill abt that type of stuff
That’s so early
yeah
Will u be able to get a copy of the paper
Even tho I haven’t seen the paper It was light
Nah people saying it was easier than paper one are trolling
anyone have an unofficial mark scheme?
I’ll do one in a sec
I'd say it was harder than last one and all 2023
i’m not sure but i’ll try and find out if i can
are you crazy fam ain’t no way i’m a nerd THAT PAPER WAS EASYYYY
A* this paper?
i struggle majority of the time and that was soooo easy
in’sha’allah :))
downvote
what does that mean
Ok well then that’s cap 😭
U did that vectors question b and the circles one simultaneous part
what board did you do?
Edx
What was the vector q
|AB=2AP sum shit like that
Bruh
Is it
I have answers
Not workings
idc i know did well just now !!
alhamdulilah
Ohh I thought I meant the uoms
when the unofficial ms gets made. can you guys tag me plssss
Edexcel?
Yes
WHY WAS IT SO TIME CONSUMING
GO AWAY
Sorry
Yo wtf was that 2nd to last question
Range of values for K
I think that was harder than any question on FM
tbf i just answered it
I tired to answer it
papar was impossible what rhe
The one I could not do at all was rearrange into e thing
put this shit away 😭
His answers don’t make sense tho
did u sit the paper too
it's like edexcel set a firework up my bum
Yes
Hold it
no u didn't
Yes
no u didn't
What
no
Rip
Who's making the ms then?
no one
it was 17. somin
How do u do it
n 70 suttin
this was acc horrible
the proof for the trig took me years but i got there
bro im thinking i semi messed up the by parts
What did everyone get for the by parts ?
Same 😭😭
i think i expanded it right
I got 16-something
how did you guys find it
the by parts was a bit iffy
yhh fr
i integrated twice n saw no change
16/27 - 136/27 e^-3
so i just said safe
i just got _e^-3 i wanted to kms
differential was as bad as it got
SAME
What was the do it in the form A + B e^-3 cuz for a I got 0
realll
yhh i didnt get that cl
Rip got that wrong then
close
I got B
minor tho
you could check it on your calc?
i got 0 on that question in general 💀
like 2 marks for the integrating part
the answer for integration
Yes
yeahh i got it right
you're right sage
Nooo
parametric was beautiful
no it wasn’t
that's so real
alot of scribbles but got there in the end
i kept getting the wrong gradient
shame on u
I got 1/25 for both partial fractions digits was I right
scribbles?? 😭
yeah
i got that too
i got that too
lol that was me with the last q 😭😭😭
last q
yeah after the partial fractions i fucked up so baddd
what was your quadratic
guys let's all agree that q2 aka arithmetic sequence was alright
-x²+ something -16?
very happy there was no radians
Wat was the last q again like what's it about
Technically there was
the last q
Who got 4/9
Yeh
which q
Same there basically was 1 the small angle aprox
oh
another lightwork paper aha
i cooked that q so hard
Approximation
that the small angle
I got like 9.0 bill
what was the appeox
but everyone can do that one
If you used rounded values it gives that which is probably fine
Did you have to find the value c when integrating the volume?
Not
good
I didn't get that I got x= 1/2 then just put therefore it don't intersect twice
what did ym get for the small angle approx
Ye I did use rounded
-4/9
todays made up for all the bs
I said no because the data was only between that year and that year therefore it’s extrapolation
?
oh fairs
was it -4/9 ?
It was positive
i just used logic init
4/9
😂
i also got -4/9
9 billion ppl in 26 yrs
1-(1-theta whatever isnt gonna be minus
Sme
WAIT WHY can't it be neg
i got 162 billion 😭
1-cos3theta
yeah
Ohh
thats why they got the -1
I got 9 billion
cold
2/3 oh well
honestly tho
i got 162 billion what
Same but I just left it as 9.03 bill
😭
The answer was 28.0
i'm cooked
grade boundaries have to be low after these 2 papers
probs 1 cl cuz u have an answer mark n a working out mark
but minor
yeah thank me for it
170 for an A 🙏🙏
next paper
Turn it into a. Quadratic
Sme just incase
Anyone got screenshot of student room poll
I just need to atleast get a B 🙏🏿
no
happy with todays performance
Samee
stay away from that shitty website
What was q2?
For the volume question did you have to find c?
i need an A
who else loved that paper
😭
That's why I'm asking for screenshot
just u
Paper cooked me and I need an A
me too
minor youll get it easy
Yes
does anyone have a plan tho for revising stats and mech
I think I got C wrong tho
What did you get for it?
like whars rhe best revision order of paper 3
It's called ignoring physics paper 3 and learning it all in the next 8 days
I think i did too i put -700/3💀 but i dont think its right
Wait for wat
guys i need an A in maths
I didn't even get the trig proof 💀
I got ln(smth)
Macrloory or fruit bag
dw it was long asf
not worth 3 marks
Fuck me
- u can still do part b without it
That was a hard paper
Noob
It was 28
This paper was more answerable than paper 1 tho
guys at the end of the day let's pray that everyone across the edexcel board did shit
Nahh trig proof was the easiest
For what
Answer for trig proof
How to find a for
No it wasnt
Iteration question
Yes it was
It was 17 and 77
No
I checked on my calc
Ur in radians
That was easy the second part
I wasnt
Do u have cg 50
Yes
Same
wat was the first part of the iteration q
I got 28 tho
6
U cant get one solution for that
What was it asking tho
It was 2tan2x mate
it's cheaters like u that make it hard for us
U don’t get any marks for that
Ah
ay if anyone can give me the sauce for stats and mech that'd be amazing
how did people find part b of the circle equation question?
Fuck that
how do i perfect stats mech in 9 days
-3/100(x-9)^2 + 443/100
if u got 2.96 in the 2nd part you got it righr
theres 3 different forms
The questions in this paper were quite abstract
it finally felt accessible
No it didn't
my bad
Did U?
What was the find the greatest height
Guys how many marks would I loose for doing 28
Nah only part B
Pretty good paper tho
And what was the limitation answer for the ball question cuz I put air resistence
Is it 2 if it’s out of 4 marks
i got like 28m for greatest height i think
I put it’s 2d
but its probably wrong
It wa 9
gg
you didnt need that
9m was the slide
Yh same better than P1 still hard tho
whatd you get in the 2nd part
i put that as well but it felt too mechanical
my name is now retail kim
I got 15 c wrong cuz I used -2x plus 3 instead of 2💀
The by parts integration was good
And the v and t questions
I said no
I couldn’t do part c for the partial fractions
I explained it for the way I rearranged it as well as part c
I said no because it was like 2.9 metres
I said as t becomes large its a/b
I think I got 3.5 or smthn
I got-3/100 and 0.54
That’s what I got
shush
I did the max point equation
fr waste of my time
-a(x-9)^2 + c
yeah
ax^2 + bx + c >>
Yeah both are valid
perfect.
yay 9
i answered that q in the last 3 mins
Yasssss
I answered the circle one in the last 3 minutes and got it
Could you say mass of ball?
I just wasn’t in a maths mood for the first hour
which was 9
Maybe
9?
Water slide max height
bro no way that was such a weird question
5 marks lost
That wasn't to bad
Gross question
bro i couldn't answer that one
i wrote on my paper "sorry i ran out of time"
😔😔
I got extra time 😏
fuck off
Hopefully the grade boundaries are lower
You know the N =45 and N =36
Can uni see what percentage grade you got in the exam
36 as it happened first
when you did 45 and subbed it into the equation you would’ve gotten negative
so it was 36
Did we all cook
i got cooked
Some difficult qs on that paper tbf
By the circles question
quite a few were
Balanced the boundaries after p1
Yeah there were no challenging integration or differentiation questions
Bro was it just me
or the questions felt nostalgic
like some qs were like a direct throwback to previous papers qs
somewhat
like the quadratic modelling q
when i got a=-3/100 i was like
dang
they really used the same a value
true
Yeah I remember that
and then for the p graphs transformations one it was like that 2022 q
without modulus tho
Thank god I did those papers last week in schooo
would’ve preferred sketching tbf
couldve caused me a little bit of trouble
mate im arse at it
its so long
now im never gonna have to do it again
same but it would’ve been better than the other qs we got 😭
lifes good
Fr just type it in my calculator
anyone remember any of the questions?
yeh
integral 8x^2 e^-3x
with limits 0 and 1
For the trig one i got like 28.summin
trig was calm idk why people saying it was hard 😭
is that the by parts one?
yeah
like the first part was kinda confusing but wasn’t impossible
how many marks was it? 5?
Yh
really?
Yeah
no way ur year 9 bro 😭
He is
Hopefully grade boundary’s are 170 for an A
Hes my tutor
no shot year 9 teaching us how to do ibp
The answer to the circles was root 82 divided by 2
Fr the question on the circles we covered was similar
Nah
What I would’ve put it my paper didn’t get taken
Standard exam type question
It was like root 82 +- 5
Root 82 +-5
I mean centre
Yh
I DIFNT HAVE TIME TO ERITE IT😭😭
I found largest and smallest distance from centre
I subbed 36 in first so I just put 36
Yeah same
How does e to power blah integrate
-3e^-3x
-1/3
Isn’t it -1/3
Yeahh
yeah
E to the power the same blah
okay cause tell me why I was doubting myself
Maybe I was doing it right and should have finished the q 💀
When I’ve been writing numbers for too long I feel like I’m wrong
The height question was dogey ash
Which one was this
Has one of you nerds done the uoms yet
The parabolic one
Ill dm it
anyone know good stats mechanics revision?!?!
X=9 one
3/100(x-9)^2 + 443/100 ?
would you guys say the 2023 pure papers are easier or harder then these years papers?
Yh
yh people saying 2 i was worried
😭
2023 clears these papers💀
Bro sent history
Im banging out Zeeshan for Mecanics and doing topic questions on that
Clears as in easier than these?
i really messed up a quadratic arithmetic sequence smh
Nah guys mechanics and stats is so easy trust me no one revise
9 right
Wayy easier
I wont lie i found 2024 easier
WHAT
Nah ur bugging
2023 easier
true
No im being fr cuz when i did 2023 i wasnt as lock in as i was now
2024 paper 1 was stressful for me tho so maybe thats clouding my judgement
but paper 2 felt mostly like a cakewalk
So for you guys who were locked in since thats fair that you found 2023 easier
soon as i skimread the paper i knew this was my paper
lol I’m acc bugging I thought u wrote 2024 and put skill 😭
Opposite way round for me Paper 1 was a yawn fest put paper 2 was long ash
I didn’t like paper 1 this one was better
Too many mod questions and I’m weak at that
8i 15 j 11k for vector?
Either way aslong as the grade boundary’s for this year is like 160-170 for an A im calm
Yeah that was one of them
2023 grade boundary’s is stupid
it was 4i 3j 7k
Tbh I completely forgot if I got 7
I got I and j correct so hopefully I got 7
Yh for one of them
Nah it’ll be like 180
To 195
It better not be
the vectors wasn’t all of them positive and one all negative
good shout
Im trinna go sheffield fr
That’s lower bound it’s gonna be like 185 icl
can’t see it being higher than 195
200/300?
Im aiming for minimum 80% on stats and mecanics to make me certain that i could get an A
Nah no chance
How many marks is stats and mechanics
nah
There’s so many resitters because of last years boundaries plus Bicen maths the grade boundaries gon be high fgs
i’m so cooked for stats not even learnt it all
One single guy doesn’t affect it
Shi yeah they have been grinding since
Frr
They could fr go through the whole spec in that time just thru using bicen
Guys uknow for the vector question i used fm vector equation of line got like lamba=6 and 2 but i forgot to sub it back in the equation line
How marks would i lose
for the vector question, did anyone get so many surds?
What are you gonna do for stats
Exactly
yall anyone got the unofficial markscheme yet
ty
Nah man why is there still no proper one made
Wdym proper one
how do you guys revise for stats and mechanics?
Give it time bro😭
Ohkk
i swr the mark allocation is ridiculously off
the first q was 5 marks
how is it 4
how tf do you remember that
i aint touching that shit
2023 easy, 2024 not easy
It was 4 wasn’t it
was it actually?
I think so
pissed to the core
1 for 1st differentiation
2 for 2nd differential
1 for value of x when second differential equals 0
fairs i thought it was 5
that wasnt the q though
this wasnt 2 marks
😭😭
U might be right idk
Yeah just wait a day or sommet
almost forgotten my answers already tho 😂
Ill be able to get the paper in a few days
how many marks were the last 2?
in total
12 for the last one
idk abt the second to lasty
8?
20 marks down the drain 😭
yeah its looking hefty for me too in terms of mark loss
i definitely need error carried forward to come in clutch or else its peakkkk
the differentiating i wouldve gotten a few
Don’t think they do that
i still dont get how the implicit differentiation didnt work
ive been hearing mixed signals its weird
they do if its M1 i tihink
How was it
i asked chatgpt too but i also know that may be bsing
neither?? i tried expanding but didnt get into the right form, i tried chain rule but still got the gradient to be 1??
literalyl tried it 10 times too
so i got an equation of y = -1x+1
entire 2 pages were full of stuff
suttin like dat
same??
terrible
nooo dont cross out anything
they mark the best one you had
i rewrote it several times
same tbf
Aw 😔 there’s always the next papers
not really
It was 6x - 3(x+y)^2 / 3(x+y)^2 + 3 iirc
so is it fm next yr sge?
Anyone got a ms ?
p3 i think i should be good if i get like 75
How was it
guaranteed A* for u then
probs idk
Did my Calculator tips actually get used
Ass icl the last two questions got me
real
hope so
i had an approach but hit a dead end
if i dont get an A* ima be so gutted
it couldnt have been cause (x+y)^3 is 3(x+y)^2 dy/dx
i defo need to get a B atleast
so you had to move it to the other side
It aint
we made a mistake
1+1 is 2
😂
cuz if u differentiate both x and y
its a pisstake
i just realised myself too
3(x+y)^2 * (1+dy/dx)
grade boundaries may be slightly lower cos this defo was harder last years
oh
nahh but i expanding it all and still got the same answer though
i reckon we would have got the correct answers aswell
I just hope bro icl
oh
if someone has it i can try again
i know my expansion was right too
Depends on p3
,w expand (x+y)^3
Watching snowfall all of td
If I clutch paper and grade boundaries r on my side then I might be able to get A* maybe
twice?
i mean using product twice
Yh thts tru
Do the q on paper again
How was it
good
That’s good
Product rule twice i think
i see
Easy 100?
why not just chain
hopefully
idkk expanding wouldve been easier imo
55 marks on p3 incoming
Omd I literally did that but I could get the answer 😭😭😭
Idk where I went wrong 💔
same
cl sage we buckled that q
hopefully there is error carried forward
can’t be as worse as mine I got 0/3 💀
i better get 4 for that no way
same when I was looking 😦
and 2 for the part afterwards
FRR 😭
n hopefully i get some working out marks
(i said the gradient was -1/2 cause thats what it wouldve been for part b)
if theres no error carried forward we are getting 0 😂
yeah i worked this out too
well i did expand it
so i should get some credit 😪
paper was a complete mess ibr
its one of those qs were im sure the examiner can tell who knows their stuff n not
I hope so!
the normal intersecting how did you do it?
apparently people getting a cubic
idk how
cubic is crazy but yh
