I put 0.7x10^9 instead of 7x10^8 for the standard form. But aren't both acceptable in standard form anyway...?


yes it is finee

Ill be honest, i hope most of the country did **** so that the grade boundaries are low, but im hoping for 150 marks for an A* and 134 for A


When does the grade boundaries officaly come out ??

I have a feeling it'll be 160s for an A*, but lol I agree with you I'd prefer it if it was lower to be on the safe side haha. It has to be seriously hard for it be dropped and the test hasn't made it onto national news yet so the grade boundaries will probably be high

I did that, we'll get 1 mark because standard form has to be a digit between 1 & 10

Got around 92. Not bad. What does everyone think the grade boundaries will be like? It seems rather split - many people found it hard, others found it relatively easy.


Im hoping that 64 will be an A. I think this was an easy paper so higher than last year.

you are negative the rotation was anti-clockwise by 90 degrees

For the last question I figured we had to write it as a whole number so after getting to the 1/4 - √6/12, I converted them both to decimals instead and ended up with 0.206666... Will I only get two marks for not including that last step or will they see my answer as fine (assuming it was correct haha)?


You'll get 2 method marks for 1/4 - √6/12

and 1/4 - √6/12 = 0.045875854768068491816892993774509050669504376611944155963
Two questions:

- In Question 12 I put as my answer 75π cm² instead of 100 cm² - 25π cm², will I get any points?

- In Question 4 C, I put (n-0)(n+7) instead of n(n-7), will I get any points?
Hi, do you reckon I'll get some marks for writing 75pi instead of 100-25pi??
What was question 18
Original post by 34908seikj
no.

Edit:

Depends, did you identify it was originally 100-25pi? If so you'd get 1 mark for method.



What would i get if i worked it all out

Wrote 25 pi - 100 cm somewhere but wrote it the other way round by accident.
Going by this I've got 50+:smile:
Alternative solution for question 22 would be to square root both sides.
Leading to x=±2(x−3)x=\pm 2(x-3) which gives the two solutions.
Original post by Ella_08
me too i think. I thought that was so generous for 3 marks


I did the same answer.
So whats everyone thinking for grade boundaries overall.
