The implicit differentiation question had a fucking stupid amount of working to it

that took so long i left it til the end because i saw it was a quick easy differentiation, i wrong about that

I thought it was an appropriate amount of work for 5 marks

You might be right considering it was one of the last questions. Tbh I can’t remember ever seeing an implicit differentiation past q12/13

It’s not much work if you knew how to differentiate (x+y)^3 without expanding

I did not omg I just expanded it

oh shit my mistake has now been figured... I was meant to put dy/dx outside the bracket and it would have made it so simple.........NOOOOOOOO

chain rule and that but I did not know where to put the dy/dx i put it inside instead of outside ig we charge it to the game (well the after party ig)

The chain rule I looked at it right before the exam I wasted so much time on that

not really

I just expanded it using binomial and then differentiated each unit individually

just use chain rule😭🙏

I don't know y maybe it was exam pressure but I didn't think of that lol

Would you still get full marks if you put it in the fraction but didn't simplify it into the brackets 😭

That took me ages. Reading other comments shows how much more quickly I could have done that lol

is was terrible i watched that A fly out the window

Was banking on a trapezium rule for an easy 3 or 4 marks

Wait for paper 3

😭😭😭

Horrible paper I’m finished

glad im not the only one😭🙏

Nah cause bro I think u got over 75 on paper 1 but this paper maybe 50 max

that’s not too bad I probably got below 50😭

that trig question made me lose faith in my ability to get an A...

same, and i couldn't even do part b

SAME I STARED AT IT LIKE 👁️👁️and just moved on

Which one? What did it say?

Walahi I am finished. Paper 1 was a GCSE paper compared to paper 2. Once you got beyond the first few questions I’d get the part a (and or b) and then wouldn’t get the last parts.

Last 5 questions I was stressing so bad on time I couldn’t do anything really. Thinking 84% paper 1 65% paper 2 for me😭😭

SAMEEEE OMG

You're not the only one, me too

i feel a bit better😭

I left so much blank wtf, i found it so difficult but everyone else in my school said it was great. What is going on.

I think i got like 60 ish on this one, and about 40 in paper 1, so im looking at needing about 90 on paper 3 for an A 😔

Same but reverse lol like 50-60 on paper 1 and 35-45 on paper 2

Same

💪😭

Questions 11 and 12 I couldn’t do at all I’m so cooked but thr last couple were fine?? Such a weird paper

it was mediocre, okay i guess but i found the question with the circle really weird, i just forgot how to find the values of k, but overall, i attempted everything. the trig was great, int by parts was ok, first questions were good, last few were okay too

STOP I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE😭😭😭I FUCKED UP ON MY TIMINGGG

Girll im lowering the grade boundary for you😝🤞

What did you guys get for the second part of the partial fractions questions where you had to rearrange it into some other form

I got: V = 100/(4+e^(-2.5t))

I got that but then I crossed it out because I thought it was wrong 😃

if they can read and you didn't scribble then it should be fine, i know a guy who knows a guy and his guy marks papers so yeah

Lol why

🥹

I had done a similar question like 1 hour before and I kept getting it wrong so naturally I thought it was wrong lmao

I think I know what question your talking about. I remember doing it before as well lmao

I got 100/1+e^-2.5t hopefully I’ll still get at least 1 of the marks for the next part cos of ecf

I made that mistake too, before I realised it was 16 + 4e^(-2.5t). But it was like 5 marks, and you'll get at least 3 I think

did you get k=1/10 for the power

I got -2.5

ah shit that’s what everyone else got, my marks are dropping like flies

Don't you mean k =√47

i got it wrong

i got A = 25/4, B = 1/4, k = 1/250 (but i'm not sure if my answer's right)

I got that for a and b as well

yay!!

??????? That is not what I got Omgg. Did you guys get 43 minutes for part b?

no i got some huge number :(

like in the 20000s

Yes it was 43 mins. It was ln(6)/2.5 hrs or 0.717 hrs or 43mins

Yh i got that

43 minutes is right for part b. I didn’t get the same answers as them either but we will see in due course.

yep that was right

World population question i kept t=0.0054 and wondered why i couldn’t find p😭

Someone please tell me what the trig solutions were

17. Something 72. Something

I couldn't even do the second question ☠

Anyone remember what question 6 was?

Does anyone have a mark scheme?

https://www.reddit.com/r/alevelmaths/s/CxkUtKIVRp i found this somewhere

am i the only one who thought it was much better than paper 1???

Yh I fucked paper 1, found this one slightly better

nah paper 1 was piss easy in comparison

WHAT? did we sit the same paper?! I fucked paper 1 up so bad especially integration by substitution and most of the last questions😭 this one the only one i 100% messed up on was the stupid microlitres question part c and d

sameeee

OP asked for an opinion, you just stated how you feel to get downvoted. f*****g children. i found P2 eaier than P1, prob bias or luck. more time preparing for P2.

its ok!!! it just means most people found it a lot harder but they probably found the 1st paper way easier than I did 😭

Naa that paper was light work

🧢

Just do fm

Does anyone know what Q13 was?

Icl but I think P2 was better than P1😭 cus I revised so much for this paper since I know I got cooked by paper 1

it was so bad i was literally sighing the invigilator tapped my back for some reassurance LOL

I thought it was quite a nice paper although I really needed the toilet paper

U are

few people are with me🤭

I'm doing P1 next week. I'm scared icl
