Heya, I'm going to put this in the Maths forum for you as you should get more responses there.

Thought it was a pretty decent paper.
One question: if , for the graph question I forgot to put the intersections in part (i) but wrote them explicitly next to my graph in part (ii), will I lose any marks?

Doing the past papers there would always be one question I didn't get and basically all of those came up...

I know the questions are basically the same every year but the variations of each question (like the sequence proof by induction) were all the ones I didn't want...

I could have got full marks if I had 3 hours to do it but...
I thought it went okay. The main question that threw me for a bit was the one in which you had to determine K, and I got it to be a third after doing n^2/3n^2.

I am a firm believer in extending exams such that literally everybody can complete them based on their skills/knowledge rather than how quickly they can do something. Perhaps if the maths exams were 3 hours but candidates could leave at any point...not sure if that would work.

Oh well. You may have done better than you think.
