For one of the questions (i think the z score one), it said correct to two decimal places, but i wrote it in FRACTIONS. I got the right answer though.

Will i lost a mark? :(

Lost 2 marks for the question asking to find the co-ordinates of T and the gradient. Can I still get above 45? :(

Same. The last question is pretty easy, but it just didn't click into my mind during the exam.

I guess that's what i deserve for doing 2 sets of practice exams

If you got T wrong but used your answer correctly for the normal gradient does thst count? My T was (2cos (theta),2sin (theta))
Edit: i also wrote working for the gradient question. I wrote 'gradient of tangent is y2-y1 ectr, and then i wrote 'therefore perpendicular line gradient...'.

I fucked up the last question so badly. 35/40 max then for me. So mad rn
For the gradient at T I started differentiating the equation of the semicircle n shit (technically, isn't this right, just a lot more work?) Then that took so long I didn't have time to do the last one so that was gg 3 marks (I think I knew how to do it, but I was reading it and was thinking wtf can't you just do the rectangle part and the triangle at the top for that area, rather than using the triangle with theta given felt stupid af)

And also reading above replies, did you guys find it as easy as last years lol? I got 40/40 first try at the 2014, I thought that was heaps easier than this years. Ah well, exam pressure I guess.

Update: I'm not ignoring you guys, I will come back to concerns in a bit.

But I'm up to like question 9 and want it uploaded, because I reckon it will answer a shit ton of questions if I just put solutions up.
