Oxford MAT 2013/2014

also for q4, how did you transform the graph of fk(X) to that of F2-k(X)?

I can't remember the entire question, but for the multiple choice question about loga(b) something etc., was the answer 'for a unique value of a' ?

You were asked to show f_k(1-t) = -f_(2-k)(1+t).

So if you rotate y=f_k a half-turn about (1,0) you get f_(2-k).

Hmm, I think it was "d. contradictory"

Hmm, I think it was "d. contradictory"

why?

You write out a and c in terms of b and you get an equation in b - which you don't have to solve because you rely on the earlier fact that b is a number greater than 0. This means you're equation in b cannot exist and is so contradictory.

^Does this make sense, I just re-read it

Also, according to my maths teacher, when providing feedback after the process is over, for the first year ever, they will NOT be releasing our MAT scores. Apparently every other admissions test (ELAT, PAT, CAT, BMAT, TSA, etc.) will still provide raw marks, but we will never get our marks back.

Anyone else heard this or have a reliable source?

I got a=4 as my solution. :l

1) Are alternative solutions to the official ones considered- can they earn the maximum number of marks even if less elegant?

2) After applicants are short-listed, are they all back to an even level in the eyes of Oxford interviewers despite MAT mark after which it depends on interview?

I don't think you ever got your raw MAT score - not a change in policy as far as I'm aware!

It is not automatically sent out, but you can ask for it in January from the college you applied to as part of the feedback process.

I stand corrected - thanks for clarifying

Does that mean that Imperial have discretion over whether to disclose MAT scores, if someone applies to Imperial but not Oxford?

You were asked to show f_k(1-t) = -f_(2-k)(1+t).

So if you rotate y=f_k a half-turn about (1,0) you get f_(2-k).

You mean something like reflecting once about x=1 and once about y=0, right?

Hi, for the multiple choice here is what I remember. Please tell me if you agree or not with my answers, I'd really like to know how I've done!

1) A does not equal 2.
2) 4 + sinx
3) h(2x)

for the question with the logs, I got 'unique value for a'

for the last question about the integral of 2^x, I got log to the base 2 of (2^n) ! (option d)

For f(1) + f(2) + f(3) + ... I got 28.

For the one with the area between the two integrals, I got something like pi/4 subtract something

I don't remember which letter then one with the graphs was, but it was 2 parabolas.

For the remainder one I got something like n/2 or (n+1)/2.

Finally, for the one with the highest degree, I got 7, although from others on here it seems like it should have been less than 7 :/

I got B for the last part! Did you sollve it or did you guess?

I solved it in the exam, but I could have easily been wrong! I would try to solve it again but I don't remember the question anymore. Anyone know what it was exactly?

edit: Also, for the rest, did you get the same as me?
