Darn, I think I had 5root something.

May be it was 5root something i don't remember it, i am just guessing.

I am also disappointed for failing to do question 3 in the exam, i have posted the solution to it in the previous page, i got the answer in moments when i tried it after the exam.

In the (a+b)^4 i also got it very messy but then i expanded (a+b)^4 to show that it matches with the one obtained by integration. And then proceeded with (a+b)^4.

Smart idea but i was just fed up with my mess since i had several times made transcription errors and it was at the bottom of the page so i had to turn over to continue so i just though **** it :P.

Well im glad people seem to have found 3 hard in the exam. Personally i thought 3, the logs question, the end of question 7 were the tough parts of the exam.

The last question and the logs question were tough. Though i should have scored full in Q3 had i realized it in the exam, but my thinking skills are quite bad in exam conditions...

In the last question what was the equation of the 2nd graph.

y=cos(sinx) or y=sin(cosx) ?

[Calculator fx]

i think it was y=sin(cosx)

Well i think most people suffer from exam stress tbh .

i would love to see a mark scheme, especially for the (a+b)^4 expansion one, i was too demoralised to continue on with the integration loooooool

It was indeed y=sin(cosx) so happy i checked it when i got home and i drew it absolutely perfectly .

this was the first round of exams i suffered from bad exam mistakes/pressure, in AS it was fine though, no real pressure

I feel it was one of the easier questions, though may be it was because my strength lies in integration.

Can someone post a sketch of sin(cosx)?

Well you only tend to feel pressure if (1) you really really need to score well on a test or (2) the difficulty of the exam is outside your comfort zone.

The AEA is meant to be a challenging paper based on core maths techniques- a lot of people who don't find the regular a-level exams pressuring probably do find the AEA pressurising.

The 2 papers i practiced, i didn't found them much challenging. I did the 2005 paper in which i got around 85-90 while in the 2010 paper i got around 75 but in this paper i failed to show my potential!

I did indeed . Minimum at (pi, -sin1)?

it wasn't just aea, same happened with c4, physics, further maths its not aea difficulty its the fact uni is riding on the a2 exams

Well it seems there isn't anyone really who is expecting a very high score for this paper on here as of yet. Someone mentioned about 80 before S marks but that was the highest. Maybe the boundaries won't be that high then.

I agree though its frustrating when you know you could and should have done better.

anyone gonna post full mark scheme
