for the last question, I somehow simplified (3-√6)/12 into -√6/4

Is that wrong and if so, how many marks will I lose ( I followed all the right workings)

You'll get 2/3

For the algebra question I wrote -5m+10 will that still be right?
Thanks.

Guys, what do you think a B grade would be?

My estimate of this years non-calc grade based on past paper difficulty and grade boundaries:
A* - 84
A - 72
B - 63
C - 48
D - 40

Any ideas what you should be aiming for across both papers for an A*?

You are exactly like me!!! I do so gooood in my mocks but then my exams get effed up, idk if im nervous or if its the new questions that trip me up. I actually knew the inverse proportionality question but i thought it was a trcik so i just filled in the vlaue of x :frown:

lost 4 marks there already. tbh im happy if i get an A and hopefully i will redeem my self and my into my 90's for the calc paper.

Every exam i have had i have not properly finished or done that well and so i think I've obviously missed by target grade but still getting a B or an A, but this one was a flat out fail. I was being bigged up by everyone for being the brainy one, now i am going to be about 3rd or 5th in the school league table and end up as a Shop manager or something. (Not being offensive to shop managers but it is a bit short of my expected career or Chartered engineer etc).
Ive fudged my GCSEs up, you hear about it, but you never think it could be you.

Someone add the marks for each question so we can work out a rough overall score please, plus the angle bisectors aren't in this mark scheme which was two of them, like 4 marks!
