Just realised i messed up q5 on paper 2.

When it said to use to the power of -N, i took 1 over the expression to the power of N and used this to get what they wanted. I assume this automatically drops me to zero marks on part 1? will i also drop to zero marks on part 2 even though they didn't explicitly say to use the same technique as part 1?
I feel like I shouldn't completely ignore the fact that C3 is tomorrow, but I'm certainly not going to do any proper revision, so what's the hardest ever C3 question?
I need a 2 in either II or III, but I'm assuming the worst that I won't get a 2... Who knows. Let's try our best in III. Revising for FP3 for next Monday and hopefully can help me with basic ideas in III as well.

Yep! xD I need a 1 in II and 2 in III :x was hoping for a 2 in last week's paper but I think that ship has sailed. FeelsBadMan

How about you?

Stupid question, but with 2 days to go and all recent past papers done, what should I do now preparation wise?

Yep I did it :smile:. Didn't notice the tsr thing because I stopped looking at solutions (got too lazy) when I was fairly convinced I'd done it right XD. Nice Q though.

haha yea when im fairly convinced i sometimes dont bother too. but I was wondering what you got for the very last part about the error delta phi?
@EnglishMuon


I just did that question. Error delta phi? Are you sure you mean iii 1992? I thought that was about proving I_n = npi^2/2?

Or have I fallen into a trap? I found the question from physicsandmaths website which may be why it is incorrectly on the thread in the first place?
