I re sat this exam and it was alot easier than last year, but that'll just make the grade boundaries go higher. The simultaneous equation was pretty easy, I got -2 and 3, can someone tell me what the answer to the juice carton question was, I guessed that one.

Umm I think I got 750ml of apple juice and 250ml of mango juice and they made a £32.60 profit?

I'm fairly sure that was a different paper. Was it calculator or non?

Hey, I took this paper too, and I felt I did rubbish on it, I needed to improve my GCSE grade for when I go to University this year, so I'm really worried about it.
Does anyone know where I can get the answers for the paper to help settle my mind a little?
I've searched all over the internet and can't find anything, not even on the OCR website. Someone help please ):

Hey guys i am 11 and just took this paper. I am just wondering what you guys got for the tent question where you had to use compasses. I got a triangle with a cut off corner. Also are you worried about tomorrow?

I have a feeling you might have got that wrong because we weren't asked to calculate how much profit it was.. It was just how much she got from the drink and gave to the school and you had to x £2.40 by 20 = £48. Can you rember the Olympic town question?

OMG i found it sooo hard, the only things that i knew was question 1a about 3/50 as a decimal, i put 0.06 which was right, and then i put 0.015 instead by accident which was stupid, did anyone get the vector ones?

Yeah I put 9/3 and 1/1 for the vectors I think. You just times it
I think
