2h30 and counting.
Staying calm is definitely a quality.
Preparing at Uni.
My goal was ( is ) a distinction.
Had another look at the specimen exam. In an at home TMA like situation with Mathematica a 90+ score is very well possible.
But with only three hours at the worst possible moment of the day (14.30 - 17.30) and with only a calculator, I am not sure at all.
Thank G_d, we are allowed to use the MST121/MS221 handbook.
Speculating...
To get a grade 4 pass...
33 + 7.
11 / 12 questions @ 3/6 + 1/2 @ 7/14.
That is still a lot.
OR
5/12 questions @ 6/6 + 2/2 @ 5/14.
To get a grade 2 pass...
12 /12 questions @ 4/6 2/2 @ 11/14
More realistically, questions are expected on the following subjects ( expected result )
I
2nd order recurrence system (6)
conics (3)
composite isometry (3)
function iteration (3)
linear transformation rotation / reflection (3)
matrix calculation (3)
differentiation (6)
integrationb (6)
taylor series (0)
complex numbers (3)
number theory (6)
group theory (6)
logic (6)
II
conic with xy component ( rotated )
eigenvalue problem ( 11 )
volume of 3D body
proof by induction ( 17 )
54 + 17 = 71 grade 2 pass
More tomorrow or after the exam.
