These are exams that were done in June to conform with the northern hemisphere timetable (where they finish school in August). They are obviously going to be different to the November exams but they are good practice as they assess the same content.

Yes, as you can see in the spesh June exam it assesses statistics which is part of the current study design but not the old study design.

For question 11 of the 2017 Specialist Exam 1 NHT, how did you guys go about it? Because I ended up having to separate it into two integrals and it was long and messy...eventually arrived at the right answer but there was no way I'd be able to do it in the space provided... Just wondering if anyone had a more efficient way  :)

You need to use the parametric arc length formula and the cosine double angle formula to simplify the expression

You're a lifesaver dude!  :D thanks for that, didn't think to use the double angle formula.. but they're gold for integration lol

hey guys, just wondering for question 2c) NHT exam 2 for spesh did you guys get y=-sqrt(3) + 4 as the perpendicular bisector or y=-sqrt(3) + 2 as the perpendicular bisector? Not sure if I made a mistake or there's a typo in the examiners report.
