"Tips for maths GSCE."

EXam in 10 mins help me. its the third time i've done this exam. Any tips?

If anyone took the GCSE Statistics today, it was really, really easy. I'm only in year 10, and took it a year early, and none of the difficult bits came up. I can never remember Standardised death rates, and there wasn't a question on them. All they had was the easy binomial distribution stuff..

Maybe maths is harder.. (Actually, I'm sure that it is)

See Ya ;-)

What about Fermat's Last Theorem? Powers of n, in the natural numbers, greater than 2, having no solution for the equation of identical form to the one mentioned, but with n in place of 2. There are only about 6 people who get it.

Hah-so! A vitahl tip to remebahr!

When I did my GCSEs, the Maths Non-Calculator paper was on my birthday!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

did anyone do the higher maths gcse on tues day - clac paper

the last question was about a boat and a island

if so can you tell me how you got the last angle

I always found getting the question right was rather effective..

:c)

Ok, my tips: Cheat. Steal. Fake illness. Cheat. Cheat. Run. Cheat.

Works great.. apart from the cheating bit, and the stealing, and actually the fake illness doesn't work either..

Buy a calculator. Use it.

I quoted and it works :)

Oh an the X²+Y²=Z² means exactly the same, each letter representing a variable value of the side or a right angled triangle where Z² represents the hypotonuse. (could be spelt wrong)

no, he means A²+B²=C² (don't know why it worked this time...), which is pythagoras' theorum. X²+Y²=Z² is not. Don't quote it or you won't get the marks.
