How did people find methods ? Generally speaking ?

Q. 8 - 10 really screwed me over and I think I made some really crazy mistakes on the rest of it
#rip30 #mathfailure #notevenaverage

[AngelWings]

Made a lot of mistakes. Estimate ~28-29/40 if examiners aren't lenient - made a lot of little errors in working especially for integral calculations. For the last question I forgot it had a domain. I also somehow decided that 8 / 2 = 8.

But hey, that's still a B+ for last year, and hopefully an A this year

Don't worry. My little anecdote for you from the idiot herself (i.e. me):
I was doing a quadratic for my first Methods SAC last year.
I used DOPS and wrote that 50 / 5 = 25. So much logic.
I've also somehow written 20 + 25 = 35 before. *face palm*

How did we go in methods, everyone? All good, Yacoubb?

A small comment on methods from my experiences last year So I think the general consensus this year is that the exam was difficult. I think in these cases, the examiners are a tiny bit more lenient when it comes to the minor stuff like simplifying answers or drawing graphs slightly awkwardly. I worked out that if the markers were being tough last year, I would have scored about 32-33/40 for exam 1, as I had small notation errors etc. But I emerged with an A+ so I must have scored at least 36 (probably dot on that, I utterly mucked up the last q).

My advice from this is to not linger on the mistakes or successes of Exam 1. This will only be poisonous, and cloud your mind during Exam 2. Exam 2 is worth twice as much: there are 80 marks left to either redeem yourself or further prove your skills. Last year I thought I'd bombed (for what I was expecting) Exam 1, so I went into Exam 2 with extremely low expectations, thinking to myself that I couldn't do worse than Exam 1, I could only do better. This left me putting less pressure on myself, thus I had a clearer head to think through problems and not freak out, and managed to work my way through some of the trickier sections of the exam

Don't lose hope yet!

Thanks for the advice ! Are you sure calling cops isn't too drastic ?
I don't wanna go back to the window in case they see me
