Michael: Moved your comment here since you're talking about AMaths, and may it also serve as a reference to the fellow commentators below who are concerned about the grades cut-off ;) Hi: Miss Loi has followed what you've described in your approach to come out with the following diagram. As we are looking to prove that ΔABX is isosceles, are you attempting to prove ∠CAP = ∠CBQ as well? If so, care to point out which segment you're referring to coz these two angles don't belong to the same segment (or so it seems according to Miss Loi's limited 阴阳眼 right now). cy: Lots of phone calls to make right now!

P1 was pretty tough but p2 was somehow easier so it could pull up the marks..! But I think that the chances of getting a distinction are still slim..

Just asking.
For Amaths paper 2 plane geometry question.
I think there is another method workable.

A circle can be drawn using C as center passing through A and B.
Then angles in the same segment, QC=PC.
Then show the two angles equal and thus prove isosceles.

As usual, my A Math is poles apart from my Math. Sad but true.

Miss Loi, what do u think the A1 grade for Amath will be?? As in for the O Levels. Im super panicky right now coz im averaging an exact 90% for both papers. Isit sufficient to get an A1 or am i at risk??

Hi Ms Loi,

The papers are over finally.

What do you think about the papers? The AM one is slightly harder (just a bit...) than last year's right?

Here's to hoping that A1 is >155 marks and A2 >145 marks. Actually I am hoping for A1 > 150 marks coz got a whole bunch of students hovering at 150-155... I bet it must be the same for you.

Would you care to join me in the mountain (specifically Gentings Highlands) to pray for leniency from the maths gods and at the same time gain more insight in the study of probability?

Once again all the best for your students.
