Act I, Scene 2
Miss Loi’s Temple, Courtyard

TWAAANG! …

The playing of her guzheng was interrupted by hurried footsteps.

[Enter CHIEF DISCIPLE]

The Chief Disciple of The Temple appeared and rushed forward to kneel on one knee before the High Priestess.

Disciple Loi

My High Priestess 教主! Please forgive me for my interruption! But the thousands on our Facebook Page are getting impatient!

She stopped mid-way through her slooooooow tune.

High Priestess Loi

These days there’s no time to even sit down and play a song after a late, late joss sticks session on the eve of EMaths Paper 2.

Very well then …

Suddenly, she began to play her guzheng faster and faster …

twaaang! twaaang! twaaang! TWAANG! TWAANG! TWAANG!

… until the following shot out from within the strings on the musical instrument.

N.B. As usual, please, please leave a comment should you spot any mistake in the solution. As uttered by the High Priestess, she was still deep within a joss sticks session just an hour ago!

Next, she threw out another swarm of daggers …

Now for Paper 2: Here’s a list of possible topics that may appear for tomorrow’s Paper 2.

  1. Algebra (changing the subject of a formula, simultaneous equations, completing the square)
  2. Arithmetic (percentages, ratios, interest, money & hire purchase, speed etc. – may still appear even though P1 already contains some)
  3. Problems involving quadratic equations
  4. Trigonometry (three-dimensional problems, bearing, angles of elevation/depression etc.)
  5. Probability
  6. Statistics (cumulative frequency curve, box & whisker)
  7. Mensuration
  8. Geometry (properties of circles)
  9. Coordinate geometry
  10. Similarity & congruency
  11. Graphs (incl. plotting)
  12. Sets & Venn diagrams
  13. Matrices
ALL THE BEST for EMATHS PAPER 2 & GANBATTE!

頑張って!!!

    Hi Miss Loi !

    5) Will i still get the mark for value of a = 2 if i did not give two ans a=2 and a=-2 and then reject a=-2?

    12a) Is it ok if i put 161 1/3 cm as an exact ans?

    14) For entire bearing qn, if i got my point P wrong for first part, would they accept (error carried forward) for part b and c? And still award marks?

    Thanks for taking time to read!

    For Q22b) AB is an exact answer. Shouldnt the answer be AB = 11.4378782 ( 7 digits)?

      @Edison: This is something Miss Loi really doesn't like 😕

      Apparently all Casio/Sharp calculators used in the exam halls showed 11.4378782 which appears to be exact (since not all digits are used).

      On the other hand, a check with online calculators (like one or this one, as well as the ones residing in your Windows or Mac will yield something like 11.43787820165426 ...

      As such, it's doubtful that Cambridge really intends it to be this way so Miss Loi believes some leeway will be given accordingly - especially if you've stated that clearly it's meant to be exact or approximated.

    Hi Miss Loi!! For question 15, I forgot to write the properties such as the angle at centre = 2 angles at Oce, but since they are all only 1 mark questions, do I still get the mark?

    May I ask ,why is the question on radius of A which is 50% greater than radius of B is squared instead of being cubed when finding mass? And it is to find the ratio of these two unknowns 🙂

    Hey Miss Loi,

    For question 25(a), since they asked us to express 'as simply as possible', don't we have to extract out the common factors for the answers?

    Or are both answers for 25(a)(i), (ii), (iii), accepted? I.e. extracted and not extracted.

    Thank you!

    Clarence 🙂

    Hi! Can the statistic answer be 161(3sf)? cos I thought statistic answers should not leave in fraction? As in the case of the calculator too.
