    I think it was a pretty easy paper, but that may mean that the UMS marks might be quite high.
    Did people get the value of p (on the vectors q) to be 7?
    And do the differential equation q, did you get t = 17.9?
    yeaah i got those answers as well

    What did everyone get for question 7b? Think I misread that question.. and how many marks was it?

    What was everyone's answers to 3a? I think I made a mistake on that question

    I think I had 0.4201 but I'm not 100% sure.
    It was worth 4 marks.

    O good, I got those. Thought I'd messed up somewhere on that

    hey, hope everyones went okay!
    I got p=8 instead of p=7 (dammit) and did a silly mistake in the substitution.
    Other than that i think it was okay. Although only got two angles for the rsin question. I thought 4 was wrong :x, but im not sure

    exam was ok, minus little stupid ends of questions.
    for 6b i think u had 2 sub in 3 as x and 3 as y thats how i got the equation
    then find a factor of the equation and do division
    leads to
    x=1 x=-2 x=3
    the 3 one links with the parameter therefore
    x = 1 and x = -2 and just sub in to find y.

    couldn't do the cos2delta bit on question 3a as I'm rubbish with brackets however just guessed at them and carried on to get c.f.e

    3b there were only 2 angles but had to make sure you minuses delta from it all
    i.e there was a 40degree angle which ended up outside range, but a 400degree one that ended up well in the range.

    question 1 and 2 were nice as normal, as well as 9 + 10.

    stupid error made on end of double angle with largest angle as didn't substitute in the Rsin(x-a) into it. massive ache.

    the differential equation was ok except the second part as different to most of the others, luckily able to do second part from data they gave you.

    all in all ok paper, just need the marks.

    Has anyone got the paper they can scan onto here so can look in regards to what marks i was likely to get? Ta

    I think I had 1/4? Can't really remember, that maybe have been a different question.

    Was a good exam, but I couldn't do the substitution and dropped one or two marks where I couldn't quite get the last bit of a few questions, and I didn't have enough time to try question 10.

    The paper is in my original post, I'll edit it to include the marks per question though

    Typical that I got the values of the vectors wrong *facepalm*, I had p=-1, therefore I must have had either one or two of the other values wrong! Does anyone else simplify the vector equation of the line to something like (for example) i(4+lambda)+j(1-2lambda)+k(3+4lambda) or do they leave it as a+lambda(AB)?

    I'm hoping they only take 2-3 marks off for getting the values wrong.. got damn +- signs!

    It was a fair paper. Quite similar to the past papers, not too easy but not too difficult either.

    I made a bit of a mess (it was untidy) of 8b) on the "show" part, but other than that it went quite well.

    Although knowing me it's probably wrong. -.-

    This was my exam paper, with a few answers I scribbled down after I finished. It's not necessarily correct of course, and it doesn't show method. I don't want to discuss any questions, but feel free to use this as a reference.
