ESAT Mathematics 2: five Full Mock Papers: 27 questions in 40 minutes, times over, with a fully worked solution named traps and shortcuts — Engineering Science Admissions Test practice

Meet every trap here, not in the exam.Mathematics 2 is where the ESAT stops testing whether you can calculate and starts testing whether you can see. Every wrong option in this book was built to catch one specific error, and the worked solution names it.Five complete ESAT Mathematics 2 papers. 135 questions. A full worked solution for every single one.Each paper is 27 questions in 40 minutes, built to the actual format, and every question is written for a candidate with no calculator.What makes these papers different- A named trap on every question. Not "the answer is C" but "B is what you get if you differentiate the numerator and denominator separately." - A route line before the working - one sentence telling you how to see the question before the algebra starts. - A Faster note wherever a shortcut exists. At 89 seconds a question you cannot afford the long way round. - Option counts vary from four to eight within the same paper, so elimination will not carry you. - Indexed by specification heading, MM1 Algebra and functions to MM8 Graphs of functions, and the Mathematics 1 headings this module assumes. - Figures, drawn for print, plus a photocopiable answer sheet Sitting Mathematics 1 as well?You will. Every ESAT candidate sits Mathematics 1, and the specification says every module assumes it. The companion volume in this series covers it with the same five-paper structure. Who this book is not forIf you want five hundred short drills to grind through, buy a different book. There is not one question here you can finish in a single step, because there is not one in the real paper either. Who wrote itCarl Morris has tutored since 2008 and holds an MChem from the University of Oxford. He was Principal of a DfE-registered tutorial college in Oxford and is Vice President of The Tutors' Association. Every question in this book was used with students preparing for the real thing, and they went on to Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial. "Maths 2 was the one I was most afraid of. Working through a whole paper under time, five times, is what stopped it being frightening." - Alice, now reading Engineering, Cambridge "The shortcuts are the bit I use most. I was doing everything the long way and running out of time." - Ahmed, offer holder, Chemical Engineering, Imperial "The first paper was a shock. That was the point - I would much rather have had that shock in October than in the exam." - Matvei, offer holder, Physics, Oxford Not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to UAT-UK or any university.
