    Make sure your graph fills over half the page in both the x and y planes, or you'll lose loads of marks!

    I found the SHM one relatively easy, you just have to time the oscillations of a bung on a spring and do a few calculations, I think there's a log in there somewhere too?

    Quite straight forward though

    No worries! ermmm, well I can't remember exactly what it was on, but perhaps it may be worth looking over oscillations topic? And maybe circular motions equations because of the links between them?
