I'm sure the first question was worth 3 marks and the k=100 one with the table was worth 4


No, it was that is does not rain but does get cancelled, thus the answer was 0.04

What was the first question again I forgot?


Find the volume of the shape and you had to do 30 X 25 or something

Question 6. A teacher is picked at random. 3/5 chance they are female. 36 are males. (3 marks)
How many teachers are there altogether?

2/5 of teachers are male. 36 are male.

2/5 of total = 36
2 x 18 = 36
18 x 2 = 90.
Answer is 90 teachers.


For this question, I thought it said how many teachers are female :zomg:
So I got 54...did anyone else make the same mistake?
Also because I mentioned 90 in my working out, do you think I'll get the mark?????? :frown:



I said how many were female :frown:
I got 0.25 - (root6/12) for the last question, I've been though it a few times and can't see a mistake so maybe that answer is wrong? Idk I might just have done something stupid.
The question for the teachers was 90 (which I'm happy about because I was unsure and got 90!) but how is 2 x 18 = 90??

What where last years grade boundaries overall


last years was
A* = 155/200
A = 125/200
B = 95/200
C = 65/200
D = 35/200
E = 20/200
Guys i lost 12-15 marks, can i still get an A*
can someone post a link to the actual paper so I can see it from that perspective ...
if its even possible.
Question 21, I answered that as 0.05..? It said the chance of it raining or not is 0.95 so I assumed 1 - 0.95 is 0.05
For -a +3b could you also have -3b+a

I also lost about 15 marks! From past years, 84+ is an A* guaranteed! We just need to do really well in the calculator paper to secure those A*

Won't get full marks as it's not in the final form.

(3-√6)/12

All you had to do is combine the fractions.
Wait so..how did everyone find the paper as a whole? Lots of people were complaining about it

Probably, but it will be close. So you may get unlucky with high grade boundaries. :/
For the estimate one I did 900/19 and got 42 would that still be full marks?
does anyone have the full paper? so i can do it
