Nope not that I've seen

I think it was 120 for the runner question but i got 160.
what did people get for the vectors questions?


Yeah I got 120 as I went through and worked out the speed at every point. I then did LCM X 10 at the end and got the same answer
I thought the paper was okay, not the easiest but not the hardest thing ever! Then again lot of my year came out thinking it was awful so I don't know...

I'd be happy to discuss answers with everyone though :-)

Yeah i did the same and got 120 with the LCM x 10 but when going through it i got 160, I had 120 in my answer so hopefully that is credited

You have to put brackets around it to make it move side to side and an opposite sign for the direction that it moves.
Does anyone have an unofficial mark scheme or the actual paper? Thanks.

I got 120 for the runners question, 7.50 for the pocket money question 2 pi for the last question. For the vectors question I got -a + b for the first one, and the parallel one it was b and 3 b therefore the lines were parallel
