noo its right -2 sry :p im not sure i think 2 or -2 forgot
Haha, let's hope it's -2 then! I think we've analysed every bit of the paper now haha. As long as I get more than 83 UMS (what I got last time) I'll be happy - even if it's only 84!

c1 was not that of a hard paper but c2 was way easier
my only difficulty was due to a silly mistake in question 11 (a) i guess ( the one with differentiation ) i had a calculation problem
so i just wanted to ask if my steps were correct but made a mistake in calculation
thus final answer in part a was affected which inturn affected part B and C
but the steps in B and C are correct but answers are wrong because they are related to part a
am i going to lose the mark of the full question or only the mark of part a ?
thanks in advance

If for question one on C1, I took -x out of the brackets so I ended up with
-x(2x-1)(2x+1) would I get any marks? Cos it does expand to give the right answer, but I realise now that the best way to do it would be to take x out, not -x :/ I recognised that it was DOTS, just went for what I thought was an easy route :/

You would Lose each accuracy mark, but would still get each method mark, so you'd lose another 2 on top of part A (I think) Could you read above what I did for q1 and see if I'd get any credit?
what was the question i forgot if i see the question ill be able to clear ur doubt
and btw do you remember question 11 was out of how much ?

In C1, does anyone remember how many marks were on the last question? and on the last part of the sequences question, which was finding Q?
