Conquered Core 3!

The C3 A-level mathematics module was simple! I was expecting a challenge, and there were some smart questions, but overall the test was surprisingly passive. Not to be extremely harsh but, I hope everyone else found it quite challenging so that the grade-boundaries are not too high: I expect I may have lost a couple of marks somewhere.

Most difficult question
