You gave P3 this year.. or last year? How did it go?

Btw how's the prep for further going? When's that?

Gave it this year. It was okay, I think I got 2 marks wrong. The timing was just so tight! The chem and P3 together was really tiring.

On 3rd and 7th. Quite frankly, it's killing me.

Seriously???

I tried my best and therefore I am satisfied. Talking about it won't change anything. Utilize the time and aim for 50 in S1 !!

Can some one explain q6 iii)

See the picture. The red seats highlight the ones that Mrs. Lin can occupy. She has to sit directly behind a student, so if she occupies those seats then it's possible for a student to be placed in front of her. The reason I kept one seat in the second row uncolored is because one of the seats in the front row is occupied my Mrs. Brown. A student can only take two seats in the front row.
So for Mrs. Lin the possible combinations are 10P1
She can sit behind any of the 5 students, so it's 5P1, the reason you don't count the possible seats for the student is because it doesn't matter where they are placed as long as one of them is in front of Mrs. Lin
Mrs. Brown has to sit in one of the front seats so 3P1
And finally after Mrs. Lin, a student and Mrs. brown has been placed there are 9 remaining passengers and 11 remaining seats. There is no restrictions. So it's 11P9

Total no. of ways = 10P1 * 3P1* 5P1 * 11P9

If all 12 passangers are seated randomly = 14P12
so probability = 10P1 * 3P1* 5P1 * 11P9/ 14P12 =.0687

Hope you get this!

Oh .. so it was lengthy too... hmm sweet so you giving both FM and Maths this year.. I guess preparing for both at the same time would make P3 seem a little easy for ya .. yeah?

btw was it difficult to manage both of them in one year..? I mean you'd have to cover both the Maths and FM syllabus in the same year...

Well, I guess you can say that. Unless you fully get the pure math papers FM just seems like wholly different world. So I had to do P3 and the other papers really thoroughly.

To be honest I didn't know earlier it would be as hard to manage as I do now. Especially since I procrastinated a bit too much and started FM late.

You giving S1 along with P3 this year?

ahan.. Well honestly, I will be studying FM even if I don't give the papers (I will only signup for FM if i am damn sure than i can score 85-90%+ in all the papers otherwise no...)

But yeah hopefully everything will work out Honestly it all will depend on my grades.. If I get straight As (Insha Allah!) I will surely opt for FM.. or else will focus on improving the subjects which I already have.

P.S: Giving S1 and P1 this year...

 

[whiz-kidd]

Just going to pray for the result now

Esme What score r u expecting????

 

[Esme]

Esme What score r u expecting????

I really don't know. I didn't do as well as I was hoping but same was the case with P1 last year. I came out expecting a 'b' but Alhamdulillah I got an 'a'.
So yeah, don't know what to expect CIE can surprise me with the results

What about you?
