Have you done all of the past papers

I think that the ones that seem to cause most difficulties are

McLaurin with awkward 2nd or 3rd differentials

The ones with x=e^t then a 2nd order DE in y

Some of the Polar areas or lengths when they are harder to visualise

If I remember rightly the worst questions for me were the polar coordinates ones and the changing a second order DE to a first order using a substitution. Nowadays I'm fine on the latter but still shakey on the former.

I agree which is why I teach it to AS FMs rather than FP2

But they can ask some tricky questions
