As soon as i began writing, i wet my page with the sweat on my hand. It was only the multi choice section though, so it didnt matter.
But i sweat a lot (more than the average person) so i wore a soccer top which draws the sweat away from my body (at least, thats what the tag says it does)

--- Quote from: "coblin" ---I think if you can show that a CAS calculator could cope with it much better than a non-CAS calculator, then you're in business.
But considering that it only took 15 seconds for a TI-83 to solve() it, then I don't think the CAS can beat that by a great margin.

CAS pwns. QED

IMHO, the CAS is a far more capable calculator, function wise. Personally though I find it more sluggish, particularly when graphing since I don't know how to reduce the resolution the way I did on my 84+. Gotta love the algebra though - that mulitiple choice Q with the vdv/dx - CAS saved my ass :D

Yeah, I love my TI-89 Titanium :D
For the resolution thing, go to Tools (F1) → Format and turn off Discontinuity Detection. Then go to Window (Diamond+F2) and change the xres :)

Wow another metalhead doing specialist. :o
Didn't think I'd ever see it!
Haha I wore my children of bodom tshirt to the spesh exam today.
Represent, yo'. 8)
I thought the exam today had some really easy questions, but some really hard questions. It will definately spread everyone out, unlike the retard of a maths paper that was methods last year *shakes fist*
