    Not enough space!!!

    Yea just ask for extra writing booklet in the exam and make sure at the end of the lines write (extra writing booklet) + make sure you label your extra writing booklet correctly. If you're actually writing too much then stop content dumping and try be more concise I guess.

    Study time?

    Before trials not much because I kept bludging and doing so much homework, but after trials (aka end of wk 8) I did around 1 paper a day starting from end of wk 10 for it so around 30%-ish?? Yes it was worth because it scaled so high + it was fun and improved my problem solving.

    Help with Binomial Theorem!

    Powers in the first bracket range from 0 to 4 while in second bracket include 0, -2, -4, ..., -12 Hence to get a constant we can multiply both powers of 0 or a power of 2 and -2 or 4 and -4: Constant term = 4C0x6C0 + 4C2(2x)^2*6C1(-1/x^2) + 4C4(2x)^4*6C2(-1/x^2)^2 = 1 - 144 + 240 = 97 Hope...
