the multiple choice was a bit more difficult than past years I think, but otherwise I thought it was pretty standard

Your Q11 b) is wrong. Almost 100% certain it is tan-1(1/root3) = pi/6

Solution for Q11 is wrong, where alpha = tan^-1(1/3)

The answer is alpha = tan-1 (1/root3) = pi/6.

Anyone find this test easier than all the previous tests in the past 6-7 years? None of the past papers I did were as easy as this (no joke).

So far, i have dropped 3 marks out of silly mistakes.

Q1 is meant to be C because x^8 = 1 gives z = 1 as one solution

Not confident with my trapezoidal volumes. Does anyone want to check it?

Should be something else I'll check what is wrong now

EDIT: Base isn't 2x you need more similar triangles
