I posted some modulus sketch,,,,

I have curve sketching file.

This has no graph but it is about constants (calculator is needed)

AEA 2014 Q4a and c what would be your answer for the S+ in each part. They say 'comment on r=0' and 'S+ for dealing with r=0 case'.

I am a pain but I was looking for what your comments would be for the S+ marks as i listed before. I can't see them on the solution i think

Has anybody else looked up areas of GCSE shapes and circle theorems etc for vector questions? Never knew that the area of a kite was 0.5 * height * width tbh

the area of a rhombus or a kite is the semi-product of its diagonals

Is it worth doing a few of these papers? I'm not sitting the paper, but does it help your maths problem solving at all? Looks very straightforward compared to STEP tbh, especially that you get 3 hours to do 7 questions with the first few taking a couple of mins

Looks straight forward but it isnt as easy as it seems trust me. Some of the problems are identical to some step III problems set a few years ago... Although the style is much more oiviting and nice. They are hard but not II and III hard maybe STEP I hard id say.

I guess it makes sense that its the same difficulty as STEP 1. but even then Warwick put a grade 2 in step 1 as equal to a distinction in AEA.

Ill do a few recent papers anyway

No chance of me getting to sleep before 3am tbh. Was up til 5am (in bed, of course) before my M3 exam due to nerves. Just gonna look over some stuff and play a game for a bit.
