Maths Extension 1 Predictions/Thoughts (1 Viewer)

I mean you can't really guarantee 100% raw until its marked, as some working might be dodgy or not up to the standard of the markers

And you never know what they decide is 'enough' for an answer to get full marks. Good job them though

do you think this paper is harder or easier previous years?

probably on par if not a tiny bit harder than last years imo, but easier than every other one (i found 2024 extremely easy tho so might not be this way for everyone)

14 didn't seem too hard. Fairly obvious pigeonhole principle for a). b) was a bit of a difficult mechanics but it was fairly straight forward. c) was changing an expanded compound angle back to the single cos. d) was a bit poorly worded about what it actually wanted you to find. I put down a piecewise for -1 and 1 where it was defined but idk. e) basically impossible unless you realised you needed to expand tan(alpha + beta + gamma) and use sums and products of roots

for the proj motion, i did it once (it was right but it looked wrong), crossed it out and did it again (which didnt work), crossed it out AGAIN and redid it, and then realised my original sol was correct so i wasted like 7 mins on that bruh


and the last one, i got the expansion = -1, but then totally forgot about arctanning it to getr 3pi/4 or whatever so yeah im cooked. scaling gotta carry tbh

should people in the live stream ask him to stop?

well only nesa would want him to stop and they don't seem to be in the yt chat

so no

What would 90 align to

 

[AIV]

What would 90 align to

like 96-98 ish maybe

 

[nowomansland]

What would 90 align to

95+

 

[runningroosixmore]

What would 80 or an 85 align to

 

[academicalwizard101]

For 14a I thought it’s was an extension 2 style proof bruhh

 

[IJIDHIBI]

What would 80 or an 85 align to

93,94

 

[AOE Enjoyer]

Everyone's making me scared that the E4 cutoff gonna be like 55/70 or smth

 

[t234]

93,94

what contribution is that to the atar?

 

[v.tex]

For 14a I thought it’s was an extension 2 style proof bruhh

Sameeee thought that shit was light work

do we reckon scaling will just be identical to last yr

 

[v.tex]

do we reckon scaling will just be identical to last yr

Surely alignment will be better

 

[eternallyboreduser]

Surely alignment will be better

Imo same or like 1 better cos i feel like our mcq was for sure harder

I thought it was a great exam. The clock question was novel. A much better exam than extension 2. Probably on same level of difficulty as last year.

I dont know how an anologue clock works so I skipped it, didnt have time to finish it lol

 

[Isit_actually?]

@coolcat6778 you better have gotten a band 6 alr.

 

[splatcat]

I dont know how an anologue clock works so I skipped it, didnt have time to finish it lol

you didn't even need to know how it worked because it gave all the values you needed
