So let's do some analysis (the boring kind, not the maths kind):
Total time: 59:20 Total raw: 75 Total UMS: 100
Q1: inequalities. Took longer than I should because I did it in two different ways to check my answer. I'll need to improve my speed here. 9:32
Q2: Taylor series solutions to DE's took far longer than I should have fixing a silly mistake. 6:05
Q3: Easy first order DE, happy with my time. 3:45
Q4: Telescoping sums, easy, took me longer than I'd like because I work slowly to avoid silly mistakes, it was an easy one as well, need to cut down on my time. 7:22
Q5: Complex loci, my solution was far longer than need be, not pleased at all. 10:07
Q6: Polar co-ordinates, mildly enjoyable. Did well on this one. 07:03
Q7: Easy C3 stuff, took me long because I graphed to see if I got all my solutions. 8:07
Q8: Easy second order DE, surprised I didn't make a silly slip, pleased with my time. 07:04
All-around, I think I did okay. Certainly lots of space for improvement with regards to my timing issue.
