Anyone know if the UMS needed for an A* needs to be 90% in C3 and separately 90% in C4 or can it be a combined total of the two?

Combined total of the two. What does everyone reckon full UMS would be for this paper? Lots of silly mistakes :frown:

y = e / (2(1-x)^1/2(1-ln(2(1-x)^1/2))) ?

yep, I got it in a scummy way, hopefully the examiner sees my final answer and just presumes that i'm a genius and found it in my head, even though I essentially guessed what it was with some bs working

Did you get a and b in part before as like 5/2, and 9/2 (one of them was minus but can't remember which)?

It's the combined total! :-)

I got this too :smile:

is that the same as y=e/(x-1)^0.5(1-ln(4-4x))

Usually they just ignore extra ones not in the range, but I'm wondering if they were being sneaky here.

Uuurgh so annoyed core 3 went really well for me but this didn't. Hope my core 3 ums brings me up to A* :/ For the integration question I got 9/2ln3 -69/2, but this comes up as a negative number.. Have I done it wrong?
