Q15b)iv) - I found that the expression was S_n and had no idea where to go from there

You just needed to make a few manipulations to acquire sin(theta)/theta.

You had to somehow link the two parts, by actually evaluating S_n first as n -> infinity. It actually converges to ln(1/2) or -ln(2).

You were put under stress, so you wouldn't be able to think as clearly. The point of today was to practise clearing your mind during the exam.

I might not know much about the actual questions in the exam, but this is something which everyone should have taken away from the exams on Monday and Wednesday. From what I saw, most people had trouble in the exam itself, but could figure most questions out at home when they were more relaxed and thinking clearly.
