Sometimes when people get too cocky for their own good, they reside on this site so there's no way somebody actually punches them in the face.

The wise owl always hides his talons.
What a timeless, pro statement ^^

Did okay, probably going to get around mid 70s for this paper. I found out I made a few silly mistakes here. I forgot to consider the domain for cos^-1x, so I got that question wrong =_=

for 5 b) ii) I actually thought time couldn't be negative, so I left my t as -1.3 something. Thank god I will get at 2/3 for that question though

and I made a silly mistake on iv) got 7-sqrt41/4 or 8 by accident, not 17 =_=
but I had the idea.

How did everyone go with the circle geometry? I personally found the circle geo on this paper harder than the 4U one and so much work for so little marks.

and btw, for 7 a) iii), if i crossed out the fact that I had 7/8 V = pi/3(h^3 - l^3) and wrote nothing else, would I get a mark? coz my teacher said that if someone crossed something out and wrote nothing else, and if it were right, they could get a mark.. :O

Only if the marking guidelines gives a mark for that line.

I just looked back on this paper and in hindsight it wasn't nearly as hard as I found it in the exam room.

Re: holy fucking shit i might as well just die now.

Yeah, a lot of working out was required. I even had to skip a few steps like I did in my 4U exam JUST to finish the question.

imo this year's paper isn't a very good paper. I reckon last year's was better.

Re: holy fucking shit i might as well just die now.

I really hated how the BOS were extra stingy and made us do extra work for the 1 markers in Q4 onwards.

Re: holy fucking shit i might as well just die now.

haha sucks to be you. It actually turned out that apart from Q1-Q3 , Q6 and Q7 were the easiest marks in the whole paper.
Did you just come on here to jeer at people?

No way, that last Binomial Identity question (3 marks) was rapage. The only way I had in mind to do it was by Induction, and I had no time.
