In the sequences in series question, in our Edco exam papers the recurring question is making a formula the sum of the first n series'. In today's exam it was the same question, but the usual way of just adapting the SN formula wouldn't work? Anyone else get this? Also. In the final question it asks us to differentiate the height formula. The Dh/dt = 10-2t. This formula should give speed, but in the next question instead of asking for max speed it asks for max height AGAIN? I think these are two of possibly a few mistakes on the paper. So they're guaranteed marks for you people worrying!

Got 2 and 6 but if you put 2 into volume formula you got 0 so 6 was the correct answer. Max volume: substituted 6 as height into volume formula.

I was quite over-whelmed looking at the paper, as I found it to be much more difficult then I intended and a lot of the stuff I looked over never came up. I attempted every question though but am terrified I failed. All I want is a pass-D3. I'm hoping with a lot of work over the weekend i can make up for it in paper 2. I hear though they want everyone to pass and give attempt marks easily- is this true? I think I am being hard on myself but really was annoyed today, I almost got sick in the exam. I also hear you only need 38% to pass...is this true? thank you
scareyc wrote: » Im in the same boat as you, just want to pass. I got 38% in the mocks which is a fail. 40% is a pass, but some say that if you're at 38% they'll boost you up to a pass. Im just gonna completely cram paper 2 this weekend and hope to raise my grade..

Hopefully a easy-ish paper 2
