Specialist Mathematics : Practice Exam Discussion

[BNard]

Ugh I'm so annoyed.
Conceptually was an easy enough exam but forgot to take my logic in with me.

I literally forgot what an integer was kms and arithmetic errors will probably prevent me from getting full marks for any questions. Forgot how to do separation of variables, miscalculated linear dependence, stuffed complex, the list goes on

Only want/need low 30's but that might be unlikely now...

It was an easy af exam however the questions had all these shit tricks so i would say 38~40/40 for A+

not a bad exam, struggled with the second last question and finding max force and also getting y in terms of x on last question as it was y^2/2 +2y=... or something

I'm sure you can take that tricky question into account when estimating the A+ cuttoff. If no one really got it except a few people, it shouldn't be too dramatic in comparison with previous years.

Hey fam! Suggested answer thread will be here - Suggested Answers and Discussion for Specialist Exam 1, if we could shift the discussion that way it would be genuinely fantastic
