It wasn't extremely easy, but I thought it was a bit easier than trials; maybe because I studied more this time

The paper was imo, overall, easy compared to what I did in the trials. Question 9 was hard for me though, but if i dont get at least 85% i'll be very disappointed. :)

Uncomfortably easy :\ I probably made a few silly mistakes here and there though. The band 6 cut-off will be a tad higher this year.

I found Q10 really easy, the only thing I had trouble with was the last part as to the reasoning for why it had to be a sector.

did anyone got that the Loudness increased by ln 2 for the loudness question?

Also was the sum of the series in q9 = to 9?

I think question 9 was harder that q10, what was with that rationalise the denominator thing that wasn't an AP or a GP? Or did I rationalise wrong?

Much much easier than the past papers! Argh, made a silly mistake in the last part of Question 9... I wrote as working for the sum: S=-1+10 and then my following line was 11 instead of 9. CAN'T BELIEVE I DID THAT. :/ Realised when my paper was collected. Anyone remember how many marks it was worth and do you think they'll take the mark/s away from me? :(

Question 10 was relatively easy compared to past Question 10s. Don't think I got the reasoning for sector or the one before that worth 1 mark, or at least I don't think so... anyone know what the value of theta was?

I thought it was v easy, 95+% hopefully. Just that sum of the series after rationalising the denominator, forget to check if terms cancelled out which apparently they did. And yeah, prob 1 or 2 retarded mistakes. But Q10 was surprisingly simple.

Question 9 is the new Question 10.

That is all.

Re: paper

Were you meant to do something special for Q5 , with the simpson's rule?

Or did you just plug values in?

Finished everything apart from the prove BF : FE thing in the first 1.5 hours. Checked over my work and spent the following hour trying to solve it to no avail :(.

I'm confident/hoping I'll get 115+. Really just depends on how many silly mistakes I made.
