Speculations - a noob guess at the exams

These are only for subjects i take. Firstly, i would like to note that although i did not study much, mid-yrs would be DAMN HARD so as to try scare us. Lol bring it on man.
Maths
- Complex no - the one where they ask z = 8i
- Maths induction - the one where they ask to prove it is divisible
- Matrix - row reduction and singular matrix I, I^2, I^32 etc...
- Probability - nMN and binomial. Binomial convert to normal and...
- Lines and Planes - at least one which asks bout distance of point to line (point to foot), and of cause the axb thing to find area and angle of triangle.
- Binomial - find the coefficient of x^wadever, formula of nCr.
- Differentiation - high level questions of differentiating trigo expo log and also stuff like velocity and chain rule
- Integration - by parts, substitution, all hard integration ques
- Circular measure - not sure y it is a subject of conc camp but maybe something of that sort...
- P and C - sitting in a circle

Music
- Dido and Aeneas extract shld be from act III, cos maybe she wans to test how much we listened this year.
- Stereotypical question on DNA. Everyone, pls try to write "Purcell uses this with remarkable consistency" when talking about his use of keys.
- One Pop or jazz, one Reinaissance (shld be vocal), one traditional - probably Meditterranian or Maui.

Econs
- Tariffs will not come out, instead the arguments for protectionism may be asked in different ways such as isit good for developed countries to use trade barriers to limit exports from developing countries.

- Inflation - oil prices - causes and ways our govt has helped curb it.
- BOP - current account and its link to FDI.
- Unemployment - nothing much. remember to include this when discussing the detrimental effects on wadever.
- Elasticities - they give 2 examples and ask wads the difference eg. luxury houses and HDB
- Distribution of income - same as unemployment
