AQA XMCAS2 june 8 2011

Pilot papers suck!!!! did june 2008 and got 117/125 which is great but jan 11 and june 2010 are a lot harder

i know they do but its a second chance and what more do u want really
i did june 08 and it was an ok paper but then when i did a jan 10 paper it had an 11 mark question on it

do u know where i can get the jan 11 and june 10 paper from my maths teacher sed they are not avail on aqa website

did anyone get y+2=-1/6(x-8) for the equation of the tangent question which was 6 marks i think

Was harder than the past papers I've done
I got the proof question with the p's but couldn't get the trig proof question
Hopefully grade boundaries will be low

can u remember how u did the proof with the p question i didnt understand it in the exam and still dont understant it
hopefully core 4 will be better

First I worked out $\frac{dy}{dx}$ at the point $(p^2,\frac{2}{p}+3)$.
I got $\frac{-1}{p^3}$ for $\frac{dy}{dx}$
Then I worked out the gradient of a straight line using $\frac{y1-y2}{x1-x2}$
Equated that to $\frac{-1}{p^3}$ then rearranged get all the p's on one side and I got the answer.
Was stumped for a while on that one but I drew a diagram and it came to me.
