Any predictions of questions for tom?

Hopefully not, but it isn't unheard of.

I saw one in the tsfx exams

I hear they are going to make up approximate to 10 decimal places using a power series.

sweet id love that to be on the exam

lol yeah. I wish there will be alot of calc [like the previous trig integral q that fredrick gave]. I seriously suck at complex relations and kinematics

Read the assessment report for 2007:

Areas of weakness included:
• poor algebraic skills. This was evident in several questions, and the inability to simplify expressions often
prevented students from completing a question
• showing a given result, which was required in Question 2a. The onus is on students to include sufficient
correct and relevant working to convince the assessors that they do know how to derive the result. Just as
importantly, students should be reminded that they can use a given value in the remaining part(s) of the
question, whether or not they were able to derive it
• recognising the need to use the chain rule when differentiating implicitly (Question 3)
• recognising the need to use the product rule when differentiating (Question 3)
• recognising the method of integration required (Questions 4 and 8b.)
• recognising the need for an arbitrary constant when integrating (Questions 6a., 7b. and 8b.)
• recognising the need to use a double angle formula (Question 10a.)
• knowing the exact values for circular functions (Questions 1, 6a. and 8b.)
• giving answers in the required form (Questions 1, 5b., 7a., 7b. and 9).

and check the questions that most of the state got wrong [eg. euler and the 2nd last q].
