Hi guys,

If we did the right working out, but wrote the wrong answers or did attempt the question and got wrong answers- would we get some marks?

yes!! for the longer questions such as the 5 marks working out would be 4 marks and you'd only loose 1 mark for getting the answer wrong so don't worry

no, standard form has to be numbers from 1-9. 0.7x10^9 isn't in standard form

For Question 17a. Solve 3x - 5 < 16 (2 marks)

x < 7

If i put X=7 in my answer area by accident but had x<7 in my workings will i still get some marks?

The Exam was easy and I got all the answers right. I just hope my working was all correct.

Can you show your workings? a common mistake is people cancel the √6 to √3, but over 6. having √3/12 is very unusual. So you method might be wrong.

This is the completed mark scheme for the 26/05/2016 mathematics non-calculator paper.

If there are any mistakes, please tell me.

Reps would be appreciated, but are not necessary.

Q4 and Q9 i think can be simplified even further and i believe maybe Q23 is wrong
