    I think that the people who feel like they did better on paper 2 are those who revise the more difficult content in detail and focus less on the easier parts bc it means that you overthink and overcomplicate the easier stuff. (At least I’ve realised that this is my situation)

      Yeh cuz I did AQA course material from 2010 from open study college and then there's always topics I just was never taught that aren't too hard but I was just never introduced to. For physics for example I never saw anything in my material about upthrust and viscosity until I started doing past papers and had to do last minute revision on it. So if there's retakes I cam pass with high grades I just keep encountering shit that they never put in my watered down course material

      I have good news.
      I emailed after the exam occured and I think a few students complained.
      As a result I got an email back today saying the college is looking into special circumstances.
      They were aware of it at the time but it wasn't happening on the college premises so they couldn't do anything to stop it. I'm very greatful as they haven't taken the issue lightly and they've said that they are going to ensure it doesn't happen again by keeping the local estate in the loop of exam months. So hopefully future students aren't affected!

    i somehow got the sum on question wrong and got something around 851, i somehow got 0 on the final part on the question integrating between 0.4 and 0.2, i forgot that on one of the integration questions that its the modulus in the ln and because i got a negative value I just gave up, forgot the plus C on the rates of change and didnt answer the trig Q. Other than that, everything else was fine i think, much harder than p1 but then again, the first 10 Qs were fine and the last few were the most difficult.

    Hi Mr Bicen for revision would it be alright to do edexcel further maths practice questions? I do AQA but there seem to be loads of resources and Questions for Edexcel compared to AQA online. Do both exam boards cover the same content?

    • @BicenMaths
      @BicenMaths  ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes, they do - there's huge overlap, I have been running study sessions for FM and lots of students weren't from Edexcel and said they found it all really useful, which tells me the content overlaps loads. I need to look into it myself in more detail!

    I did bad in a paper one too maybe around 40-50, the second paper 20-30 but I'm expecting a good 70-80. What you think my grade will be sir, just roughly.

      @khalidelra ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Assuming you’ve got 75 so far - and that you get 45 on Paper 3 - that’s 120/300 which is a C
      You could get 100% on Paper 3 though which could push you up to a high B / low A
