Why is the specimen paper so difficult

The later parts of Q6 look hard but I'd say it's pretty similar to one you'd get today. No vectors is always a plus too lol.

could you explain 5b

Ca anyone post any problems please

is anyone else feeling really unprepared for this exam?

is anyone else feeling really unprepared for this exam?

how many papers have you done?

same
feeling so demotivated after that fp3 paper lol how was it for you?

Could anyone post any summation problems

All summation problems:
q4 2014
q4 2013
q3 2012 kinda
q3 2011

They're a lot more common on the really old papers (<2005), so try those if you run out. Tbh, I think if a summation problem and a vector problem come up as the last questions on Thursday I'm pretty ****ed

do you know any websites with summation problems like in aea

In the warwick solutions, they refer to 'global maxima'. I'm not really sure what that means, and how it differs from a normal maximum point?

(****+) are probably to AEA standard.
