for question 15, I only compared the interquartile range and median (with evidence and data from the box plot)..would I only get 2 out of 3 marks?

me too, i think the rest was to show workings??

No, that's all you need for the 3 marks.

I agree, i was a bit silly, i misunderstood the questions but hopefully i can get an A* through the calculator paper in my opinion i am much stronger in that one, last years paper including the hannah one i got 98/100 for that paper

I think I got around 57-58 marks what would that be roughly? and do you think that the grade boundaries will be lower because people have found this hard?

You should be secure 'B'. I gooe boundaries will be low as I personally thought it was a lot of working out for most of the questions.
I did 49-53points and although I am secure 'C', I really want 'B'!Must hope for the best in the calculator test.

I think around the same marks in the next paper, or maybe 85 marks might get you an a*. I think last years grade boundary was 155 to get an A*?

Last years paper was much much harder than this.

This exam as been super easy, expecting high grade boundaries.

Haha I can feel your pain, oh well, the calculator paper probably might be more merciful

Correct!

how did people do the second construction question? the one where it had point P and you needed to make the perpendicular bisect of it and the line or whatever

Correct.

the first part of the question was reflection, and the second part was rotating anticlockwise.
