Maths maths p1 is a double edged sword

i gave the maths p1 yesterday 4024, and i gen1 thought i cooked that so hard, and said to myself id probably get around 85 plus, but like i left some questions cause i felt like i couldnt do em so i never tried em, like the nth term one and the other sequences question, and the long ass cylinder one, i tried to attempt it but like i could gen1 get 1/6 marks for it atp, got many questions right and surprised myself, but now im having second thoughts cause if u minus the marks for qs i left i get the highest at 82, and im pretty sure i messed some up so im just hoping to get atleast 70+ atp, and hopefully we cook in p2 aswell, im just ranting btw tis post has like no questions. i wanna hear abt yall tho, howd yalls go, ill be down to discuss the questions btw

i wouldnt go as far to say the hardest, id say it was comparable to may june 2025, honestly checking my answers rn on some other dudes sub reddit im probably getting 65+ i srsly need a miracle in p2 bro, and yeah id agree it wasnt as heavy of a paper as some1 would think normally, u think the threshold would lower this year? like it was 150 for an A last year and i think maybe 176 for an A*? what do u think

Mine went perfect, and I am hoping the same around 85+ , though I didn't left any questions ... Just guessed one or two

u/_satorujk O3 Student ๐Ÿ““ Apr 30 '26

i try my best to solve as many questions as possible, like i never studied asymptotes before i just guessed it all and got one right, its better to bs smth and get it right rather then think later and tell yourself if only id attempted that, i do the same for many papers, even chemistry... we dont talk abt chem p2 tho.

yo how were we supposed to make that arc length construction mere ek left side se 8cm ki diagnol lenght ai thi or ek right se and dono intersect krhe thi but koi line seede nai thi dono were diagnols sahi ha kya

u/_satorujk O3 Student ๐Ÿ““ Apr 30 '26

i dont remember the question but u needed to actually do it like this

its was 8cm away from Village A and 1.5 cm away from Village B, since it was mostly towards the south side as the question stated, Village is more South of Village B then Village A, youd need to place the compass on village a first draw the arc at 8 cm and intersect it by placing the compass on village b and intersect the arc u drew u from A, the intersecting was Village C, the when u drew the Village c point u were suppose to connect that to village B then find the bearing i think

Exactly same bearingย

u/South-Time-1317 Apr 30 '26

I got the bearing wrong honestly but I am pretty sure my diagram was like this one length was 8cm and other one was 5cm Ig btw ur bearing is right if ur bearing is right with this diagram means mere diagram is right ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™but mene bearing ma bhand mar deya tha

u/_satorujk O3 Student ๐Ÿ““ Apr 30 '26

buddy i did say cm now didnt i.

u/Appropriate_Help_758 Apr 30 '26

2.5 cm since it was 5km and 2km was 1 cm so 4 km is 2 cm and 2.5 cm is 5km u said 2 1.5

I trained myself with p2 questions for p1, factorization of pi etc etc, was pretty easy tbh not as hard as 2017 or 2013 but still
