Step 1 2001 isn't too bad.

So you're saying even with solid knowledge of C1-4 and Fp1-3, S1,2 and M1,2 it is still incredibly hard? I've read that it takes about 45 minutes for a step question! Not just 5 minutes where you saw the answer straight away...

lol step 1 is quite good. step 2 and 3 is where stuff gets really difficult. You need around 5-6 good answers for an s in step. Only absolute geniuses get sss in step. I used i was able enough. I started doubting it after i completed my first question. u gota remember we dont know how they mark or what marking is on.

you could do all the modules and still not be able to do one question. It takes time and practice.

So- you're saying that you thought you could do it but after doing your first question you started doubting yourself.
I've read somewhere that a correct always answer gives full marks no matter the method used. So surely- so long as the question is answered you get full marks for that question??

Are you gradually getting better?
btw I hope to knock out a bit of C3/4 or (in fact quite a bit of it) this year. So I've got 2 years to prepare for Step... What would you wish you did when you were at the beginning of AS?

yh the pure questions are the ones i struggle with. i normally get all the mechanics ones correct in all papers and normally one or two pure. so it might give me s in each paper. problem is its not timed and i take up to much time.

I've only just begun M1 so I cannot really judge the questions however they have a large mark allocation. I'm kind-of afraid since I am nowhere near as strong at mechanics as I am at Pure maths :/

I figured that I would take a go at this, spoilered all my answers.

I'll come back and finish the rest off later, I probably left plenty of silly mistakes though!

an excellent attempt so far; I had a quick glance. Please try to give the rest of the solutions.
(see if you can also justify why a minus disapperared in 7a)

Thank you!

Just a quick check, question eight seems to have a typo in it, the graph to sketch is in the form x=something x, I went ahead and assumed you meant y=something x?

I'm completely stymied at question 5(b) with the trigonometric equation, any hints?

thanks for the typo. You are correct. Done the paper in a hurry this morning. I will try to type a note.

trig equation is all about breaking double angles which would lead to a cubic in cosx
then part (a) comes in.
