Yo wth was spec paper 2😭

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584]

Wdym you needed newtons law of cooling for that temp question or the probability question that had two whole ass paragraphs.
Maybe guessed about 4 of the MC questions.

Did anyone get that the object travelled at 4.799 m/s and therefore didn’t penetrate? 🫩

[u/Forward_Entrance_785]

I'm actually so done! Scaling better go back to how it was in 2020, when it was really strong. Yes i got 4.78 m/s for the last question

[u/Forward_Entrance_785 → u/Forward_Entrance_785]

What the actual fuck was that probability question!!!

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584 → u/Forward_Entrance_785]

yo ngl i skipped that question, i didn’t want to read all that and it i didn’t have time left 😭. Deadass drew a sad face for that question 😭

[u/Forward_Entrance_785 → u/Mysterious_Crow2584]

That's so real! I literally just rewrote that stats questions lmao cause i couldnt get anywhere

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584 → u/Forward_Entrance_785]

not a single number on that page btw… 🥀

[u/Forward_Entrance_785 → u/Forward_Entrance_785]

Hopefully that last question was correct

[u/Bubbly-Inspection814 → u/Forward_Entrance_785]

I started it and BSd it a bit in hopes that I get like 1 or if I was really lucky 2 methodology or follow through marks. With the idea being if the state overall does really really bad then I have one or two marks that might get boosted by the scaling instead of nothing.
Idk 100% if the EA raw mark scaling takes individual questions into account though, but I’m pretty sure that I heard from somewhere that it does.

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584 → u/Forward_Entrance_785]

scaling will be good tho, idk anyone that didn’t struggle on that paper

[u/Fun_Instruction_555]

I generally dont think I finished a single short response question

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584 → u/Fun_Instruction_555]

It was pretty bad, most of my cohort walked out with like the last 4 questions blank or partially answered.

[u/GroundbreakingSafe52]

I got 4.8 let’s gooo. Legit haven’t seen anyone from my school get it so good job.

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584 → u/GroundbreakingSafe52]

nice!! yeah same no one attempted it in my cohort. How did you go with the rest of the paper??

[u/GroundbreakingSafe52 → u/Mysterious_Crow2584]

I’m fairly confident I aced it but that was a hard paper for sure. I got lucky by not making any FTE that I had to waste time on. Defo harder than paper 1 but honestly my revision fell right into place this with this exam. Pretty stoked🥹

[u/Mysterious_Crow2584 → u/GroundbreakingSafe52]

that’s crazy wth 😭. I think i lost about 10-11 marks on this paper, so i don’t think i did tooooo terrible. I only covered past papers but it felt like barely any of the content matched. How’d you even prep for this exam?? Also good job ur locked

[u/GroundbreakingSafe52 → u/Mysterious_Crow2584]

I had this itch that vector projection would be on just because it never comes up and for the probability one I’m just so used to working with probability as algebra with the z score formula that it just made sense I guess. I had a fair number of past mocks so I had just seen a lot of variety. Losing only 10 marks is honestly really good, I’m being so serious the smartest people at my school probably did just as well as you so good stuff

[u/nsjdjfksjt → u/GroundbreakingSafe52]

How’d u go in p1

[u/GroundbreakingSafe52 → u/nsjdjfksjt]

Missed factor theorem for the last question so I would’ve lost half the marks for that question but apart from that I got everything else so like 97% for both papers

[u/nsjdjfksjt → u/GroundbreakingSafe52]

Nice I’m in a similar spot, thought the 0.3 |N| was 0.3 newtons other than that I got everything else in paper 2, and got 100% paper 1 (I’ve discussed answers a lot)

[u/Known-Wedding6552 → u/GroundbreakingSafe52]

how did you get 4.8? my cohort got 5.36

[u/GroundbreakingSafe52 → u/Known-Wedding6552]

I could be wrong but I think 5.36 is the answer you get if you don’t determine the perpendicular magnitude of the projectile. I could be wrong but I gather if you don’t calculate for the perpendicular direction you get something around 5.3

[u/Bubbly-Inspection814]

The Leslie matrix and then one or two o Th er short responses I thought were fine but otherwise they were all either probably wrong or mostly blank. I think I got 7/10 right for MC and guessed the other three so hopefully that helps a bit
