How was maths paper 3 for oct/nov 2013 session ?

Will they lower the grade treshold for an A like last year's paper 32?

I remember all the questions.

1. Gradient of the curve (3)
2. Logarithms + Modulus (5)
3. Integration by parts (4)
4. Parametric Equations (6)
5. Trigonometric Identities + Integration (7)
6. Iterative formula (8)
7. Partial fractions + Binomial Theorem (10)
8. Complex Numbers (10)
9. Vectors (11)
10. Differential Equations (11)

That totals up to 75 marks....but I'm not very sure about the marks distribution. But this is what I can kind of remember. Please post your answers question by question so we can compare :)

For ques 2, did you get 2 answers? One positive and one negative :s im not sure if i had to reject one..

I didn't even attempt the other qs in vectors. :( Left out the complex nos also. I'm soo screwed and I have an A in AS Math. All to waste :(

I couldnt understand the second part of the question for complex number :s i just made a circle with radius 1 centre -i i think..i attempted to solve the arg , but i got confused..so i just left that part :(
Well , i also couldnt show the ppd. Distance of D to the line :/
I practised papers from 2007-m/j 2013 .
All i can say is,
O/N 2013 is actually the toughest ( according to me ) .
I think ill get around only 40 marks for this paper..

A girl happily said it was really easy when the papers were handed over to the supervisors at my centre.
And i just stared at her .

For integration I got 4ln(something) -4
For iterative I got 0.93
For complex I got 1+2i and -2-4i
for binomial I got something +17/72 x^2
and lastly for differential I got 49.4


i got same for iterative and complex number and binomial:) but for differential i got in terms oh H:confused:

i got 3x +2z -z = 1 or something


did u get i + 2j + 2k as the position vector of D


did u get i + 2j + 2k as the position vector of D[/quote]
Got the same for D mate:)bt for eqn of plane i got 3x+2y-2z=7:confused:.were u able to prove the perpendicular disatnce from OD to A? I got 1/3(11^1/2) instead of 63^1\2
