I made a couple of silly mistakes trying to do it quickly. The 9 to the power of 150/300 was not clear from the formatting - it looked like an mixed fraction - if I'd been able to read it correctly, I would have got it right. I'm glad they stopped short of differential equations, as I still have nightmares about those!

I also made a mistake on #27 by not reading all the choices. I selected 3 before I noticed +-3 was an option.

#27 and #30 should have the same answer but they don't. I was rushing and got #27 wrong because I selected 3 instead of +-3. But then on #30 they accepted 3 as correct even though it should also be +-3 (which wasn't an option).

I see absolutely no reason to include +/-3 as an answer to #30 because convention says the square root is the positive square root, and the negative square root is the "negative square root". As for #27, x=3 is very definitely a correct solution.

Most of those were quite easy. Except remembering what is sin of 30°, the rest is simple calculation.

sin 30 and cos 60 are both 0.5. sin 60 and cos 30 are root 3 over 2. I once did an entire paper which had questions with those in without a calculator as I had forgotten mine and was too scared to ask to borrow one (my maths teacher was quite strict).
