I don't know about anyone else but I'm feeling a lot more confident for this C2 paper than the C1!!

Hopefully we can help anyone with any queries! :smile:

I'm going to try and get through the Solomon papers of the weekend.

People should really be more prepared for this if the board wants to give us harsh papers this year.

Could someone please help with this question ...

I dont understand why the (1-r^n) in the sum formula has been changed to (r^n-1) in the mark scheme? Why is this?

If r is greater than one then the equation changes to r-1 on the top and bottom rather than 1-r, in the question it says that r>1 so that's what to look out for

Pretty good, I'm quite confident for any pure Maths paper. Mechanics is my problem :frown:

This website is quite good, especially if you need to get lots of past papers:
http://www.physicsandmathstutor.com/a-level-maths-papers/
it even has notes for each topic and questions for each topic too.

I am struggling with parts of C2, especially with the differentiation parts and finding the maximum and minimum points etc., can anyone tell me how they remember how to do this? I have no idea :confused:
