I thought the exam was quite reasonable.

Easy paper but i didnt get a few questions. i forgot how to do the first integral and that was the one id looked at this morning during my 4hr morning cram sheeeeeeit. exam 2 will probably be out to destroy us

I didn't see the double angle formula for the vector question. :(

I'll be happy to get 15/40
But I'm pretty horrible at specialist sooo...

im expecting around 34-35 i couldn't finish last question and forgot about conjugate root theorem (i know it's weird but hey). And i couldn't get the angle between the vectors in terms of pi :/

Fairly standard exam, however the last part of the 2nd last question and the last part of the last question I was unable to simplify but I think I should get a working mark for each(?).

wasn't hard just a couple of questions to distinguish the spesh nutters

I think exam 2 will b the same difficulty, lets hope it doesn't have 6 extended response

I didn't think I could use the conjugate root thereom in Q3 and so I long divided and screwed myself over there... :(
And I didn't understand how to get the angle in the vector calculus :(
Otherwise I was pretty happy with it.. think I'll end up with 32-34 marks/40

it was  pi - arccos(a number i forgot)

I bombed ): Usually get around 30-34 but I'll be lucky to get 25 this time around. It's pretty disappointing, I screwed up the first question after splitting it into two parts not clicking that x/(x^2+1) is a log integral.

Screwed up Q3 even though my argand diagram is right (I even said 3 was a point in q3a) because I didn't think it was a all real question because z was an element of C... how rookie is that?

I couldn't get the value of the tension, if I had more time I would have been able to.

I wasn't able to get the speed, even though I had the right method, as I couldn't simplify the roots. I didn't do the derivative when t=1 question.

Sucked on the last two parts of the final question.

Pretty much if I didn't screw up the easy questions I would have been able to get 30 or so, but I screwed them up so will get less

nope, the arccos part, yes, but the pi - , no
