I feel like I’m going to get a B if i don’t lock in ASAP

genuinely what the actual fuck was that, exam ended 5 hrs ago but it was so shit it still has a lasting impact on me. oh btw im resitting too.

count your days cambridge count your days all my past paper work was for nothing. nothing similar to the patterns istg

Rlly not sure I've already spent a few hours but I can't work it out many thanks in advance

this is the most unfair decision cambridge has ever taken. I worked my ass off for stats 1 at some point i started averaging 45-50/50 per paper and when i sat the exam i left and saw that the answers were posted on reddit i checked and i got every thing correct I GOT A 50/50 and i worked so hard to be able to reach this level and i was so proud of myself just to find out the paper got l***ked and now theyre taking only the p1 grade like the components i took were s1 and p1 and i was depending on s1 to help me since im not that good at p1 i was able to go up to an A with my performance in stats and now its all gone to waste my final grade is gonna plummet cuz i have no other component to help me anymore. I am put at such a disadvantage and all my efforts this year for s1 was sent down the drain cuz cambridge doesnt know how to protect their papers and most importantly the annoying people who made the paper circulate in the first place. genuinely is there anything we can do to change their decision?

My maths teacher attaches her working out to our homework just in case we get stuck and she suddenly decided to change a half into 2. I don't understand why she has done this so if anyone else knows why help would be appreciated

paper 2 is the easiest maths paper I’ve ever done. genuine cinema. The ONLY stuff I struggled on was part b of question 11, 12 and 15. Amazingggg

so are we gonna resit the paper or not?? bro im so fkn tired of this bullshit i lost all my motivation and i also need to complete my enrolment for college and i dont have time for this shit no more

Edexcel keeps making tests "more accessible" to the point where one mistake costs you an A* . Especially after that bum easy excuse of an exam. Watch it be 260+ for an A* this year.

The ending is soo satisfying.

EDIT: Part a) should be 5 marks, and part d) should be 2 marks. Wayyy too generous before!

Light work🤪- ignore working :)

How did it go for the rest of y'all?

Guys i genuinely am not usually the type of person to be like this but after pure paper 1 maths i genuinely cant move on its impossible.

I was expecting an A star cuz i worked my ass off!! I did all past papers and get consistently 90+ on each of them!! I WAS Expecting new topics ofc but the way i made so many careless mistakes was genuinely heartbreaking. Like on the sectors question i did know how to do it but i forgot to times by 2…

This meant ill be getting around 70-80 on this paper which is just crazy ridiculous for someone who was comfortable in the a star territory.

Is anyone in the same boat cuz i genuinely feel so heartbroken 💔

(Ps im year 12 whos gone start fm content in yr 13) so dont u dare say im just a ”fmaths student” the only content i had known was a level.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨DO NOT SHARE ANSWERS🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
How did everyone find it? I thought it was really hard

Hi all, I've seen lots of people preferring the CG100 over the CG50, and that's fine, but personally as a CG50 lover, I wanted to share its capability to install custom plugins, which I believe the CG100 doesn't have. Here's a quick overview of 3 plugins I have installed (loads more are available but these are just the ones I really need):

Khicas:

I'll start with the nerdiest plugin, but the only one on the list that is actually properly useful! This is a cas plugin. Cas stands for "Computer Algebra System" and basically just means that it can manipulate algebra and provide analytic solutions. Neither the CG50 nor the CG100 can do this by default so it is incredibly useful! (This would only be used outside of exams tho because plugins are blocked in exam mode, but it's still super handy). In the images I'm showcasing the very surface features, but these are all incredibly useful imo! It can also do a ton of other stuff that I haven't shown, such as partial fractions, differentiation, laplace and fourier transforms, limits, infinite integrals, literally anything you want! However, I'll say that Khicas is not easy to use and is definitely for the more advanced user. And it's super clunky! Definitely takes some getting used to lol. And it's super easy to crash your calc... I've done it too many times to count! When you do though, you can just take the batteries out and put them back in and it comes back to life so it's fine.

2048:

Goated game that you can even play on your CG50 now!! I must say, it's not perfect and there are some issues with it, such as when the number has 4 digits, it pokes outside the box, leaving a trail behind, since the UI only replaces what's inside each box without clearing what's around it. There's also sometimes an inconsistency when there are 3 identical tiles in a row, and it can be unpredictable which 2 merge. It works well for the most part and is still fun!

Minesweeper:

I personally prefer Minesweeper over 2048, but this plugin has a few more problems, which is understandable since it's a much harder game to make. The problems are mainly to do with mine generation (it's possible to lose on the first move) and guessing situations are quite common (like in one of the pictures), but it is nice that it gives you the option to change grid size and mine number to try and avoid this.

All in all, it is to be expected that the plugins won't be completely perfect since they're such a niche thing, and we're lucky to even have this many free plugins! Khicas is extremely powerful and well made and genuinely blows my mind with how it can maximize the calc's capabilities (but is still a bit clunky imo). Anyways, just wanted to let people know about what the CG50s can really do because I don't think many people know about this sadly!

I’m aware the left one is correct, but I’m not sure what makes it correct instead of the right one.
