    Ahh I didn't do great..definitely got all the first 5 correct but then was hit and miss with many of the others..
    Answers I remember

    The stationary points question where you had to use the quotient rule x= 1, 3..can't remember the y co-ordinates though

    For the revolution of the solid did you guys integrate (pi y^2) y^2=5x and then find the area of the cone? I did that but forgot to integrate the pi5x!!!!

    The last question about the volume was x=2
    VN= 3x? 5
    Can't remember many of the others..I reckon I got about 60%, Ill try really hard for the next one to get the A.

    Amed. Do you go to a specialist maths school considering nearly the whole of your year is doing this exam?

    No. It's just that pure maths is such an important subject, everyone wanted to keep it. We had this test before being allowed pure maths that anyone who gets less than 75% in maths-b would not be allowed pure maths (this was back when we were choosing subjects). Everyone studied so hard, they managed to get more than 75% besides the about 10 people who didn't get it.

    But, our batch is among the best our school had in years, so, most students are better than average.

    Anyways, good luck for paper 2!!

    We did not have a vectors question so that will probably come up tomorrow - you'll need to know about unit vectors, proving parallel and collinear.
    We had simultaneous equations, planes, using cos & sin, log etc and quadratics.
    I can't remember anymore. I believe Amed posted the likely topics for paper 2.
