i think the things u listed are the most common things that fit the criteria for Exam 1... and i will be expecting those
they will most likely twist questions that are similar to last year... thats my wild guess

adding on....
watch out for "the" antiderivative and "an" antiderivative..
can lose u a mark

Would you lose marks if you dont draw a table for the slope field cause i usually just do that in my head...However i dont think it will be on it this time, just a feeling..

nah i wouldnt think so

but i do think it will be on it... last year slope field was not done well, with "quite a few students had no idea how to tackle [the question]... they did not know what a slope field was."

Read my post again. Write down the table! It is needed and even if they don't mark on it (which I think they will), it'll provide a clearer understanding of the slope of the line that you need to draw. Don't be lazy because you can do it in your head. If I did that with the exam tomorrow, I'd lose 50% of the marks.

well with that table, you know whether the gradient is positive or negative, and thus you can plot that on the plane.

There's probably going to be a "Sketch the graph of y=[insert inverse/reciprocal circular function]" question
