Saw from your profile that you're an MEI Further Maths tutor. By any chance do you have a list of past 100UMS boundaries for this exam? And for other MEI modules as well?

Thank you!

Here you go (It also includes Physics).

For Question 2, to find v^5 instead of raising 2 to the power 5 I accidentally raised root2 to the power 5, how many marks would I lose?

Well, that exam was rather nice. Annoyed at myself for putting v⁵=-32 and not 32j and for forgetting the +c in the integration (is that always worth a mark???). Other than that, everything went really well! 70/72 hopefully, and possibly 100UMS.

I had no idea what it meant by the equation thing for v at the last part of question 2... But apart from that I reckon everything else was great!

Possibly 2, not too sure! You would get follow through marks.

Kinda worried, what did people put for the show that question where u had to integrate 1/(1-x^2)?

Partial Fractions were required. From there, it was relatively simple to acquire the given result.

If I used double angle formula to find the cos5x identity instead of de moivres theorem how many marks would I lose? It was out of 5, got the correct answer using double angle formula but now in hindsight I think it said using de moivres theorem?

How would you compare the difficulty of this paper to others?

I've done an unofficial mark scheme on page7 btw guys

Yeah lol I just used the standard integral off the data sheet, but justified c =0, any ideas how many marks that would be? Just 1?

I'd say similar to the easier years. Annoying cause that means grade boundaries will be high :/

Not sure to be honest.

I would say it was about average.

It did say "Using de Moivre's Theorem" :frown:

You will either get full marks or no marks.

I think you'll lose either 4 or 5 :frown:
