Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Paper 2016 Unofficial Markscheme

Hi, I know I've asked a similar question before but I think I got around 86/88 in this paper and I just want to ensure that it's possible for me to get an A* as I really want it. Could someone please confirm this, Do you think I'd be fine?

Yeah I've seen that from Instagram but how did he(or you ) get a copy of the paper to be giving out answers?????

A kid probably didnt turn up for the exam, or s/he just scanned the copy and filled it in.

Sorry mate, 63 would be 'B' unless u do 100% in calculator one. QUOTE=MrJamerJamer;65207701]You would basically need full marks on the calc and to pray for low boundarys.

Q4 expand and simplify is 10 + m

Q6 is 54

Q4 is -5+10

and Q6 is 90, 54 is the amount of females, they wanted to total amount of people.

Yeah I would imagine so. DW though 2 marks is better than nothing.

someone replied to me and said that I'd still get the three? I'm not sure. When we did it previously in class, my teacher stated to just use the median and interquartile range when comparing box plots.

How do you think you did on the exam?

You defninitely still can! Another similar performance or 90+ will most likely be an A*

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

last year it was 125/200 for an A and 155/200 for an A* so you need 87 in paper 2 for an A* but last years grade boundaries were pretty low and most people found the exam quite easy, so i expect the grade boundaries will be higher this year, maybe 160 for an A* or something

Thanks, that makes me feel better. I usually tend to better in calculator papers. :smile:

If I got 65 on this, what would you say I need on the calculator for an A overall? (What do you think the grade boundaries will be?)

I got the same mark between that range, hopefully for the sake of us two that will have a moderately of strong chance of helping us get an A* overall. You will probably need 86 in the calculater paper to secure an A*, just in case they do not lower the grade boundaries. But good luck mate!

Hopefully mate, good luck!
Calculator better be my bitch.
