Debrief -> E Mathematics Paper 2
-
according to my teacher the paper is already tailored for singapore students.. the international one which malaysia and brunei and other countries internationally take in during june. i have the paper(cost $1.30).. they have some amaths questions in it.. their slyllabus is diff from ours of cuz, and our standard are higher than those our neighbour countries take..Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:one O level told me she finished section one in 1/2 hour and decided to do section two slowly... but still finished it in another 1/2 hour...
but on checking, found 4 careless mistakes that she corrected.
the paper really that easy meh? -
If they don't moderate, you pass... but because they moderate you fail... you say fair or not?Originally posted by felirox:then like tat im gonna fail. sigh...no poly course for me. im finished.
Of course not! If you are good enough you should pass even if other people are much better!
-
sigh tt is why people said the world is unfair. and im one of the unlucky humanoid. im damn demotivated to study for other subjects now.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:If they don't moderate, you pass... but because they moderate you fail... you say fair or not?

how come tt guy who post the answers his first qns got 9757 and 2311? i thought they wan the price of 1 photo...thats 68 cent and 64 cents right?

convert the dollars into cents then round to the nearest 2 s.f.Originally posted by limywv:you right, he wrong...btw you all put in dollars or cents?cuz when you put in cents then how to round to nearest cents? -
overall this was definitely one of the easiest ele maths paper i've ever done. i still can't believe i got tricked by that stupid symmetry-star question.
anyw, definitely v close to full marks for me =) hee! -
Just like what APKY said.Originally posted by felirox:sigh tt is why people said the world is unfair. and im one of the unlucky humanoid. im damn demotivated to study for other subjects now.Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:not true wat.... justice is when you perform well you get A1 and it does not matter how many get A1... injustice is when you do very well but the dictators use the bell curve to damn you... -
Don't think the worst. You might get a B or C after moderationOriginally posted by felirox:then like tat im gonna fail. sigh...no poly course for me. im finished.

Guys, please stop over exaggerating the moderation thing. They will never set their requirements to be 90 and above. They are just trying to separate the better students from the rest. Its usually will at most 85-87 for a A-1

Qn two: n2 - (n+a)(n-a)=a2Originally posted by spadeTwo:just reach home
i will type out my answers now
but those shown question i skip
Q1
.74
9757
2311
21.7
Q2
-a^2
0
0.5
7
t=root(y+2)
3/2x
thats about it
very easy, but i know i got some careless here and there
326541829^2-326541833*326541825
=326541829^2-(326541829+4)(326541829-4)
= 4^2
=16
By the way, the root qn, no need to put +/- in front of the root
P.S for some unknown reason, the calculator shows zero everytime i key in the sum above. does anyone has a explanation. -
qn2's correct.Originally posted by viper146:Qn two: n2 - (n+a)(n-a)=a2
326541829^2-326541833*326541825
=326541829^2-(326541829+4)(326541829-4)
= 4^2
=16
By the way, the root qn, no need to put +/- in front of the root
and i thought you had to? i forgot what the qn was alr. -
you only need t place a +/- at the answer. for example: root 25= +/-5Originally posted by tut4nkh4m3n:qn2's correct.
and i thought you had to? i forgot what the qn was alr. -
huh?Originally posted by viper146:you only need t place a +/- at the answer. for example: root 25= +/-5
anyw, i think putting +/- root(wdv the ans was) should be fine -
this pp quite easi hopefully i can get b3 above
-
don worry its 16...Originally posted by viper146:Qn two: n2 - (n+a)(n-a)=a2

P.S for some unknown reason, the calculator shows zero everytime i key in the sum above. does anyone has a explanation. -
cos the calculator only takes the first 10 digits of every no. if i'm not wrongOriginally posted by viper146:Qn two: n2 - (n+a)(n-a)=a2

Easy paper , yet I've a few careless mistakes myself >.>
There is going to be some severe moderation I guess. I'm sure there're quite a number of perfect scripts this year.
The worst part is we're not going to know the results for another two months. -
omg if its 80-89 for A1 WHAT ABOUT 2 ...in tat case how to get 2 sia
-
Me and my friends on avg lost 3-4 marks in the past 2 papers
I think hopefully A1 liao
-
haha. like this paper. easier than paper 1.
all the questions so easy on me, no probability at all. yes la.
im not confident of getting 85 above, but within 75 - 82 range, but thats good enough for me.
few more weeks and O's will finally be over! -
So what do you guys think will be the moderated maths for maths?
> 85 -- A1?
then perhaps,
73-84 -- A2,
65- 72 -- b3..
etc
damn, very worried now.
think can't even get a 2 ah. -
Its really difficult to estimate the banding after moderation but given the ease of the papers this year, 85% and above may be required for an A1.
However, it still depends on the overall performance. The population here and on other discussion forums are only a small percentage of the entire cohort. -
