Haven't started. Just did a paper to see where I'm at. Shame I picked an easy one so it wasn't exactly accurate!

This was my plan too, I've already done about 4 Solomon papers for C4 and to be honest the questions do seem quite straightforward to me so I'm not too sure how they're making me think more about the questions. However vector questions will always be a bloody pain!

I've seen this before as it was a tiny part of a STEP question that I did, it then shows you how you can differentiate a function of (x^x)^x which I never really thought about beforehand, pretty cool if you ask me.

You could try elmond papers? My college gives out the big black A2 c3/c4 book aswell as the small one, so i'v decided to do questions from there now and then do other worksheets etc and then start solomon.

What are elmond papers? I don't think I've heard about them before and I've just been given the small green ones so I was planning on doing all the mixed exercises and review exercises too, surely then I'll be prepared for any question they may throw at me.

I just don't wanna risk anything :tongue:

They are just extra papers that some people do after the original papers and solomon papers if they have time.

If they did that then I'm almost certain it'll catch the majority of candidates, at least I know every bar me in my school would be caught out, maybe another student might understand it but I'm not too sure really. :tongue:

Same. Might do everything though. C3 is quite fun.

Is there a link to these papers anywhere as I'm not common of them and I've actually been going slow for the main reason I'll be complete too early for the exam which would be the worst position to be in.
