Re: What did you think?
I thought the test wasn't that hard...I mean there were the harder looking questions in there, but overall I actually thought it was quite easy (not that I'll be one of those people that gets like 110/120) I'm hoping for an 85/120+ raw mark.
The integration was pretty weird...that has to be the first time in the last 4-5 years where they haven't been like "Use u = xsin" etc. or where they tell you to use IBP. Going over past papers, the trend seemed to be that those were a given, but I guess not.
Q1-4 were great, question 1 was probably the worst out of those. Question 4 with the radius of the wheels and areas and stuff was sweet, and most of the conics were pretty straightforward. After that I went downhill though...didn't even try some of question 8 (the area of that weird shape thing) and part c of question 6 too. Hopefully I don't lose over 40 marks all up...I hope.
But yeah there's no way I thought that was the hardest paper since the 90's...wtf. The 2001 paper or whatever has like "Prove e is irrational" and all that shit. Question 8 in this was like SHM and differentiation, although I did run out of time to do that question.
But eh, if I get over 70% raw that would be pretty cool...unlikely though.
Even my maths teacher said afterwards that it was a fairly easy paper, so going on everyone's reactions I hope I go alright.
Maybe my expectations weren't as high as everyone else's though...ha. I just didn't get that feeling walking out of "Man I fucked that, I hope I pass" I was like "Yeah that was actually kinda ok".
