    Yep, we had that too. I think what teachers do is select random questions from past papers that are relevant in each topic. To the question you mentioned, you had to differentiate 6x²-3x, sub x=-1, find the gradent of the tangent, giving you the gradient of the normal (m1xm2 = -1), then subbing...
