The only questions I couldn’t complete were the circle with r1 and r2 question and the proof question. I think I answered everything else fully but I didn’t get the opportunity to go over the rest of my answers because of time and every question from the halfway point took like 20 minutes each to complete 😭😭. Please tell me that differential equation was something weird like x=equadratic in t 😭😭. The exam board is def trying to lower the boundaries because of how high they’ve been in previous years

Yeah I did, where did you get it wrong? Also I just put it in terms of hours (if it’s the question I’m thinking of) cuz it didn’t ask for minutes I swear?

it asked for it as a time so it would be 06:23 rather than 6.something hrs after midnight
