HARDEST MATH PAPER IN THE HISTORY OF IGCSE 0580 MATH 42 DISCUSSION

[Dishant soni]

i got
5160 cm/min
ans speed of water from the cylinder

 

[Afaf el harda]

what was your answer of the same question part 2...in which we had to answer in square root a/b

I think I got that as

√10/3
how about you?

 

[Evil Philanthropist]

Who said eveybody is losing 20 or more marks there are many who found the paper easy including me

I mean everybody I know of, is losing marks.
Thats good!

24 hours haven't passed .. I suggest u guys stop discussing.

 

[Fabienne]

I was surprised at paper 42! It was one of the hardest papers I've seen (and I've done tons of past papers)

Same

Do they normally bring down the grade boundaries/curve if everyone had difficulties with it?

 

[umair1161]

what was your answer of the same question part 2...in which we had to answer in square root a/b

square root 10/3

 

[wajeehaz]

Am I the only one here that did really well in paper 4, but not all that well in paper 2?

wow dude, youre unique!

 

[Tobi Balogun]

In the last question, who got n=20?[/quote
N=19 actually you werent meant to round 19.56 up

 

[wajeehaz]

the no scarf,no hat,no gloves one?
we had the probabilitues found before of no hat/scarf
but the gloves was (if i remember exact) 3/10
i just multiplied all :/

i dont remember....but the last probability question was mind screwing :S

 

[mocool05]

Man that paper was sh*t. i studied almost everything and still messed up a bit of the paper. i seriously hope they are merciful with threshold.

 

[wajeehaz]

guys u niticed that many made a mistake in finding the major arc length.... u had to first multiply the angle 39*2 and then minus it from 360 some people ddnt do that getting the wrong answer...

i found the arc length with 39 first, and then ans+ans
i got 11.5 something :S
in the same way if we do 78/360 x 2 x pi x 8.5 .. i got 11.5 again

 

[wajeehaz]

what about the graph people?
the question above the tangent one, in which a new equation was given and we had to find the solution for x
what did yu guys get?

 

[himanshu dave]

If the grade boundaries are not low, I will commit suicide
Has anyone even answered all the questions??

yes I did im getting 125/130 for sure

 

[wajeehaz]

no they wanted the "MAJOR ARC" so 360-that angle they want the bigger arc

oh wow, i keep losing more marks

 

[Al-Anoud]

Am I the only one here that did really well in paper 4, but not all that well in paper 2?

i think u are! p-2 was a piece of cake. u think complicated...which helped ina cpmlicated paper but not in an easy paper : )

 

[HooR Muhammad]

YS <SAME HERE!!!!!!!!!

i got n=19 tooo...hope its the right answer

 

[Jacob SB]

it is impossible for anyone to finish that evil paper, last page was messed up

sorry bro not everyone is as smart as u

 

[HooR Muhammad]

what about the graph people?
the question above the tangent one, in which a new equation was given and we had to find the solution for x
what did yu guys get?

1.33 and 4.something the gradient was 0.41

 

[HooR Muhammad]

but thats a wrong answer

wat did u get?
