Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Paper 2016 Unofficial Markscheme

last que. v hard

Is the calc meant to be harder?

Would you get any marks for 2 12/15 instead of 2 4/5?
Thank you

... You know he isn't getting that.

well that's what the unofficial mark scheme from the teacher has is at. I can't remember what I put down for it now. You might be right though

The coordinates of P are 5,7 and M is 1,2.5


So Qx = 5+x/2 = 1

5+x = 2
x=-3


Qy = 7+y/2 = 2.5
7+y = 5
y = -2

Therefore the coordinates of Q are -3, -2

I don't think so, however I could be wrong.

Actually now acknowledging the question it must be 4.75 as the y co-ordinate for the midpoint because according to the rule of y1+y2/2 which we learn in further maths gcse. 2.5+7 = 9.5
Then you will need to divide 9.5 by 2 to get the midpoint. So it is 4.75 as the y co-ordinate

Do you get a mark for putting
3.5 x 10^?
--------------
5 x 10^?
I put = X 10^8
I knew the x 10 bit but didn't know what was the first number. I tried working it out on the side of the page..
0.5
0.5
0.5
0.5
0.5
----
2.5
Then tried putting extra one in for all to see if it add up to 3.5 and it went on for ages...😐 Gave up after 10 minutes, luckily I had extra time so I finished others, couldn't do the last 3 questions and some questions so I left some working outs to hopefully earn at least 1 or 2 marks.
All together I think I got 49 to 53 marks. Hopefully I'll doreally good on on the calculator paper and boost to maybe a A or a B

I got 68 out of 100. What grade would that be? And could I possibly get an A* with both papers combined?

The angie question is 50 cm squared as you spilt the two squares which are five 2 take off 6 is 4 then times ten is 40 surely ?

You will get 2/3. And the cancelling was silly because your final answer was a negative value... for an area lmao
