I was pretty much stuffed from the start of them exam. I completely forgot how to differentiate exponentials:mad:.

i think i actually did it differently, but your working looks valid to me...i think i may have had sin x = cos x, without the negative...geez, i always manage to leave out a negative somewhere!

god that was the worst 2u exam i've ever had. That was bullshit, i mean comn !? wtf was that. Section 9 and 10 where so impossible, what where these guys thinking.

God, how bad do they want to give it to us students.

I'll be lucky if i even get 70 % for that exam, even though im like ranked top 5 in my school for 2u, that exam was shocking. and yes i did study

what did people get for the volume for y = root cotx

i got 8
cotx = 1/tan x
tan.x = sinx/cosx

therefore: cotx = cosx/sinx
cosx=d/dx sinx
hence this equals to ln sin.x

i think thats how u do it

im so glad all of you people are saying "that was nothing like previous cssa" - on weekend i did 4 cssa previous year's papers and iw as cheering! i started relaxing and watching tv

can anyone actually give an explanation as to WHY this year was SO HARD compared to previous CSSA? it doesnt make any sense to me? all of a sudden they just release 2003 paper with really hard (in comparison) questions

that was totally f*ked
