Though i aint one of the lucky fortunate people who ace maths :cry: .....I think that till now Paper 1 was pretty easy and i am sure that everything goes well (Paper 2 is easy as well) then we might be expecting distinction on hand writing too !
As many people will easily be scoring excellent marks.....At least in my school 3-4 people expected distinction.....i wanna know how many expectations are there in the world !
:D

then you wont get any mark for that. sorry! There would have been a method mark if the question was of two or more marks.

Guys dont get your hopes up too much...I understand that paper went really well...but just hope for A or A*...Distinction is just bonus...Dont aim for the highest mountain...climb them one by one.

When you have high hopes is when you achieve something.

thats called being overconfident. Having high hopes and being overconfident are two very different things!!

Being overconfident is one separate thing. I guarantee that you go into the examination hall with "high hopes" that you'll get an A*, don't you, rather going into the hall with low hopes that you'll never make it. Overconfident is when your sure about something and act cocky. Hope is the feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best. I HOPE that your confusion is solved between these two distinctive words. :)

I think I can say "Come on bring it on" to tmorrows ppr without being called overconfident.
