I'm doing methods 3/4 nxt yr but im aiming for a 50 too is that hard to get?
1) if you're good enouhg to do umep, plz don't do further, it defeats the point of further. Further is not there for ppl to get 50's in when they clearly are capable of much higher level maths. And remember, only two maths subject can count in your top 4 anyway.
2) If you are really that good at maths, ie good eoungh to do umep, a 50 is not THAT hard to get as it comes down to carless errors. I reakon careless errors are the only thing that seperates most of the epople 45+. I know i knew the methods course backwards and careless marks were the only thinkg holding me back. If you are serious about getting a 50, not only do you need to do every single paper you can get your hand on, but be anal and tripple check evey single thing you write, even the things you thinka are wayyy to easy, like for instance, i misremebered a simple formula(finding varience, i frogot to square teh mean), that was even on the formula sheet and that cost me 2 marks on the exam. I had used it so many times before, i even remebe checking it and just letting it slip by. It's much better to do eveything correctly once, cos when you check over questions, it's easy to convice yourself your've alredy got it all right.
