Thanks Enwiabe.
Any suggestions on how long I should take for Multiple Choice and Extended Response questions in Exam 2?

Wait srsly only 10 mins on double checking? I've been finishing with like 1/2 hour to spare, is that too fast?

Make sure you're doing the right exam 2s, the ones that are for CAS. As silly as it sounds, last year I didn't notice that I was doing non-CAS exam 2s until after a while and I was wondering why the MCQ could be done so easily on my CAS in 10-15mins.

If they are actually CAS exams, then you're in a pretty good spot atm! :P

For ti nspire users: I have trouble finding exact values on my calculator even though the setting is set to exact. Suggestions?

If you have a decimal point anywhere in your working, it will give it to a decimal point, best to keep it in fraction form. I think there is a function to get exact form from decimal form but I'm not sure what it is. Does that help or was that just pointless.

On the calc page? Or the graph page?

I don't think it's possible on the graph page, but if the mode is on exact, the calc screen should always be displaying exact solutions (as long as there are no dodgy third or higher roots, or you use the decimal place in your input).

n1 = any integer

so sub in ... n= -1, n=0, n=1, n=3, ... etc. by hand, OR set a domain in your solve function (eg. -pi<x<pi) and it should give you all the solutions without the 'n' between that specified domain :)

you get the n1 because you didn't specify a domain, add this to the end
|0 equal to or less than x equal to or less than 2pi
with the proper signs in place of the words.

EDIT: beaten by 21 seconds.

Yeh thats like me for physics mid year, i was finishing all the trials with 1/2 to spare, then in the exam nearly dropped dead when I finished with 7 mins to go. But it was longer this year.
