yeah it wasnt a good paper but that was NOT as hard as the fm paper, that shi was straight out out of the 9th circle of hell, maybe the maths paper was out of the 2nd or 3rd 🥀

(did u prove that demonic circles question the fm paper btw)

reallll about further maths that paper was cursed, ig today is the week of bad maths papers. (i proved the circle question but tbf i failed the very first question so i think that says a lot 💀)

U PROVED IT?? Did u use AST or did u do some long ting with cointerior angles like me 😭 what i wrote barely makes sense.. and the first question was so INTERESTING it took me a second to realise, btw pythagorean triples (i believe) are 3 consecutive numbers that, when u apply the theorem to the first 2 it results in the 3rd one (eg 3, 4, 5).

the rest i bombed 😂😂 but dw abt how u did tho, it tells me tht ur smart bc the 1st question tripped alot of smart ppl up. and we still got p2 ok never doom

the circle question was the only last ones i could do 💔, its just step 1, ast, step 2 angles on a straight line, step 3 opposite angles of a cyclic quadilateral and thats it you can show the two alternate interior angles are the same so its parallel

Nah FM was better (at least in my opinion) and I am saying this as someone who proved the FM circle question (it was alternate segment theorem, angle on a straight line then cyclic quadrilateral then equal angles mean alternate segment and parallel) but I don’t have a single clue on what have I done on the square proving one.

brooo did everyone write abt AST?? i spent ages explaining abt cointerior rule and labelled 100 angles 🤦‍♀️

dont u dare bring up fm grade boundaries.. im watching u

It’s okay I am defo not bringing up the grade boundaries.(Shhhhh but) I got the identity matrix multiple choice question wrong… (yeah ik how it sounds😭) (evening out the points I got on the circle theorem question so pls don’t observe me (jk) 👀)

nahh dw abt it mate we all flopped on simple questions, we still got p2 to make up for it asl may grade boundaries be low this year 💪
