I'm aiming for an A, I probably got like 60 marks so I'm counting on the calc paper to be better

Remember you don't need the final answer to be correct to get a bulk of method marks! ;D

I was aiming for an A*... I might get an A* but you can never know. I am comfortable I got an A but in all honesty, I will cry if I get an A overall.

In general, the paper wasn't the easiest. A lot of the foundation questions I left out initially and I panicked. However, I found the higher questions easier ironically and when I came back to answer the foundation questions, they were easier to answer because I was more confident.

I'm sure if a large majority of people found the test hard they will bring the grade boundaries down xx
I found the surds question at the end difficult and I'm doing further maths :O x
