Yeah. I've been looking at a band 4 for English for at least 3/4 of this year. I'm finally raising my hopes again of getting a band 5 so I really want to focus my studying on English now.

It's easy to study maths-physics-chemistry. Just do 2 past papers a day swapping subjects per day. It's not like I have any exams between English and maths.

Few peeps gotta improve their exam technique, legit i saw someone hold their calculator without writing anything for like 30 minutes straight in the exam.

That is concerning. I'm glad that's not me. Besides, honestly how many 4U questions these days use a calculator

I don't think so, but the guy who i think was Gabriel Moussa looked completely lost during the 3u lmao.

That sounds like Gabriel Moussa, its most likely him

hahahaha dying... He was the guy in white next to me... He asked me if he could copy my multiple choice... I should've let him considering i circled only one answer for nearly every question...

Lol I use it for basic arithmetic. Can't trust myself with addition

True, that may as well be important I guess. But then again that only takes 10 seconds. Unless you're in 2U and waste time on financial maths..

How did you fellas get the induction one?

I don't know how to do it by induction. Here is my mixed analytical approach.
$$Proposition$: n^{n+1} > {(n+1)}^n$ for all n $ \geq 3$
$Base case$: n=3, 3^4 > 4^3 \Leftrightarrow 81>64,$ which is true. So P(3) is true.$
$$Suppose P(k) is true. So $ k^{k+1} > {(k+1)}^k$
$P(k+1) = {k+1}^{k+2} > {(k+2)}^{k+1}$
$Take the log of both sides. This does not change the inequality, as each side is strictly positive for our set of values for k.$
$(k+2)\ln(k+1) > (k+1)\ln(k+2) \Leftrightarrow (k+2)\ln(k+1) - (k+1)\ln(k+2)>0$
$\Rightarrow (k+1)(\ln(\frac{k+1}{k+2})) + \ln(k+1) > 0 \Leftrightarrow \ln \left ( \left ( \frac{k+1}{k+2} \right )^{k+1} \right ) + \ln(k+1) > 0$
$Observe that $\ln \left ( \left (\frac{k+1}{k+2} \right )^{k+1} \right )$ is negative for all positive k. Taking the limit to infinity, the inside term approaches $ \frac{1}{e} $ from the definition of e. So the entire term approaches $ -1. $ The difference of two concave expressions is also concave. Since the function is strictly negative and concave, the inequality is strengthened to less than -1. Now consider the remaining term. $\log{(x+1)}$ is concave and grows without bound. By testing the case k = 3, we conclude that in all our possible values of k, the inequality is true. Therefore, k+1 is true.$

What my X2 teacher said about that induction question :
"Looks symmetrically beautiful or beautifully symmetrical.

1/3 since you didnt use induction...
