Math p1
I honestly can’t remember much when recounting today, maybe cos my brain is farting after the gp p2… Will try my best ! 🤡
Sorry but I have no idea what picture to use as I haven’t been out and about… Mostly dogging my food in under 30 mins to free up more time and being a pest at home :3
Ok, soo the only one that piqued my horror senses (haha Halloween joke), was the differentiation with trigo, then with maclaurin !!!
WOOO i suck at trigo and they had to merge in with my 2 not bad chapters?? Idk how i differentiate till i only had 1 term but we shall not talk about that any further ;)
Otherwise I felt that the questions were somewhat doable?
Oh yeah that interpretation question with (lnx)^2 had me staring and staring at it. Like HUHHHH sub in then kena ^2??? So my confused self sub in once and tested on thy sacred rough paper(idk how i scribbled until some ancient language thingy), AND IT WORKED?? Integration by parts was the call and i hope that i answered it 🤞
Oh and the roller coaster question wasn't so bad as i was traumatised by my tuition’s one, it was a slanted roller coaster. Added the picture for yall to feel the pain!!!
3/5 not that easy but staring for a while works
In my experience preparing for H2 Math, understanding the syllabus structure has really helped me focus on key chapters like differentiation, trigonometry, and series expansions. While the integration by parts method can seem daunting, practicing it with problems involving natural logarithms squared has improved my confidence. One useful tip is to break down complex expressions by substitution before attempting differentiation or integration, as I found with the (ln x)^2 question. Visual aids, like sketching out the roller coaster graph, can clarify problems and reduce exam anxiety. I also learned that pacing yourself during the paper to avoid rushing—such as not eating too quickly beforehand—helps maintain concentration. It’s okay to feel stuck initially, but revisiting the question with fresh eyes often reveals the solution. Overall, understanding the H2 mathematics syllabus topics sequentially, and practicing diverse questions, made a big difference in my exam approach.
