Mathematics A LEVEL p32 2012

[Alicia Jonas]

Most of the students over here found the paper damn difficult. Do you think that Cambridge is going to lower the pass mark?

haha thats the worst maths paper I ever experienced .. I probably lost over 30 marks . Threshold will be low , maybe 40/75 for an A .

 

[adsffsdas]

i hope it is. i remember counting 24/75 points worth of questions i attempted, and even i aint sure that what i did was entirely correct.
and ya, the 'easy' questions which give out free points didnt show up this year. 'express this in partial fractions' 'find area between these curves' 'calc volume of revolution' 'reduction of relationships to linear form' .. nothing. there wasnt even that much algebra ffs
well whatever. i hope a several hundred kids out there get like max 5/75 so that the threshold is lowered to like 18/75 for an A..
i also hope you earn 1 point for writing your name.

 

[Alicia Jonas]

Yes. I replied questions as much as I could, leaving blanks also!
I really wish the pass mark is lowered. Had a real hard time

May your words come true! maximum marks i can get is 40

I normally have good predittions of thresholds , lets just keep our fingers crossed and see what happens

Really?! thats awesome if the gt is really that low, my A will be saved!

 

[Nishii]

But june 2008 was a hard paper too, and the gt for paper 3 was 49

 

[switch]

Every1 found that paper hard even some maths geniuses .

 

[Alicia Jonas]

yes..in a way, we all got fucked real hard!

 

[Yaasir Burthun]

My max points were 25 :S
Everyone found this paper high level. The complex number and the differential equations were difficult to answer.
Some proves also were tricky. Good luck to everyone.

anyone thinks that this paper can beat the GT of june 2008 and be less than -26 ?

 

[hanyigcse]

i reallly found this paper much harder than june 2012 and the hardest paper i have ever experinced ?do anyone see that??

I am wondering how much method marks can save me. I think I did the complex question 9 ii method right, but I later realised that I made a small arithmetic error. The question was worth 6 marks , maybe I can get 3 for it?

for sure u will get the methods mark as u get the method right ,so how did u found the exam ?i found it one of the toughest exam ever

I found it tough, but I usually think I did really bad in exams and end up doing well. But I do hope the grade boundary is low and that my performance in my mechanics paper and my A from my AS exam ensures I get an A grade. I doubt I will get an A*... I think it is really irritating how my mathematical ability is judged in such an unnatural (timed) manner.

indeed! really frustrating..

to be honest, it wasnt that tough!!!!! i finished it in 1 hour, it was just conceptual, those students who memorized theorems were never going to succeed, me expecting 65/75 ,,, te GT for A...A=50-53, B=44-46

even if the majority of students fail to get more than 45 marks, the GT will be that high?

i dont know about that!!!! i hope it works tat way!!!!
