No sequence & series >_> maybe because of 2u? (1 Viewer)

I was disappointed there weren't any superannuation/deposit questions (well not to my memory)... focussed so much on them. Possibly because they were asked in 2u they didn't think to ask them again in 3? o_O

*shrugs* Also not that much on trig.. which was surprising >_>

Ditto

That was the one thing I was comfortable with. I guess it's really a 2u topic... but you know, they could have inflated our confidence just a tad if they included one =)

not to mention the binomial expansion crap, i know there was a find the term independent one but how often do those soughts of prove this questions come up in the final question making it virtually impossible to do well in the last q. i conceded before the exam that i would lose 4-5 marks on that section subsequently condeding a band lower than what my other work deserves, though i was a little disappointed with no money questions, but u give a little and u get a little. there was a lot of integration (volumes random) good though and differentiation thre was a lot

I totally forgot how to do f(x+h) and stuff... I ended up experimenting by doing a really basic y= 3x^2 and seeing how it worked.. and then applying it to the question. That's how I seem to end up doing a lot of Qs >_>

I was doing a practice paper and it had superannuation.. and stephanie, usually when something isn't done for a while, doesn't that imply that there's a good chance it'll be in the next one?

Btw as for p&c- the probability one sortof counts as... part of the topic; but i guess that's as close as it got.
