On a related note, what's the most marks you ever had for a part of a question?
for maths?? 8 marks. due to the terrible mark allocation, a reasonable volumes Q was given 8 marks. if you wanna check it out it is on spiral's dropbox. go to the 2004 paper from my school, it is Q8(a). also if you're interested Q7(b) of that same paper was the hardest question in our 3u trial today. and i did it before when practicing for 4u -.-

My recent MX2 test was volumes and mechanics. The volumes questions were just 5 and 6 markers. It told you the curves and axis of rotational, and just said find the volume. So you had to find the expression for the shell/slice/etc, then find the volume expression, then integrate it. They were not short or easy volumes either lol.

Anyway, ive lost about 10-15 marks in all my MX2 tests as far as I can recall, majority of them were in the half yearly when I got cocky and ignored the study of integration and volumes.

How 'bout u, Makematics?
lost 6 marks so far for the first two tasks. already did the trial and lost a few there but havent got it back yet so dont know how many.
