I don't think it was as hard as last year but the way they worded the questions this year mislead people so more mistakes so I think fairly same as last year, I got the log question, only one i didn't get was the tan one, done a whole page and scribbled it all out, it pissed me off ahhhh

A lot of people found the tan one difficult, I managed to get the tan one.. how many marks was it worth 3?
Annoyed about the log question, I didn't even know where to start with that one.. I think I may have got one for method.. but nevermind, and I lost 3 marks on stupid mistakes > :frown:

I tried everything for tan one and just couldn't get it, yeah was worth 3, only 3 I think i lost, yeah if you attempted it and had a good go, you'll get at least one mark, normally i lose marks on silly errors, but i took my time on this paper and done it slow with 10 mins to spare so no bad

I got a=(k/2)^3/2 I think
You had to remember that for logab=c
b=a^c
I think I got around 68/75? I lost 4 on the logs questions, and 3 on stupid mistakes.. >:O
I think 64 will be around 86/87 UMS?
