Does an A in GCSE Maths look good? I could've got an A* but I'm really kicking myself because of careless mistakes. Is it bad to have an A because it's a core subject? Thanks

Don't worry I'm really annoyed with myself too I've made so many stupid mistakes and it really has costed me marks even though I know what I meant and it's even more annoying when people expect you to get an a* but you think or know you'll get an a, it's not as bad as you think because if you're doing a level maths like me you can prove people wrong and you only ever get better at something if you keep making mistakes that's how you succeed so don't worry :smile:

MATHEMATICS EDEXCEL HIGHER MARKSCHEME (BOTH PAPERS) WITH PREDICTED GRADE BOUNDARIES

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a-ighNmzrkVh83g7jUT5SEsnU0_Gbs-DHLW0RKCow94/mobilebasic?pli=1

How did you arrive at these Grade Boundaries, what criteria have you taken?

I got 18.9cm for the perimeter of the circle segment and I am pretty sure that was right. How was it that it was 28.9cm? If anyone knows the angle that was in the segment then I can try and work it out again - or alternatively if someone could explain. Thanks :smile:

I think i got that too. The angle was 75.
I went wrong by forgetting to double the radius!
for the ratio of 3:4, I instead wrote 1:0.75

although this isn't what you have written, it is technically right, do you think i will get any marks?

I guess thats true Thanks. After all an A is not that bad and I wanna do Maths for A-level.

A B is a B, doesn't matter if you've scraped it.

When you get your results does A- B+ B- exist or is it just an A or B or C

I think it does say A- B- C-, but it counts as a B though.
I think 24b is actually 1/(x-1)

It just says A, B, C etc but you can get the breakdown from your school after a while. Not sure how long though.

Pretty sure you do. I asked a Sixth Form friend of mine and he told me he got 199/200 marks for Maths, so you must get your marks back from each exam.
Omg I feel as if I've done bad i want to at least get a B does anyone know the grade boundaries???

Ok Thanks a lot.:biggrin: I'm excited to see what I got.:tongue:
ImageUploadedByStudent Room1465587242.167366.jpg ok so if you look at this you can see the highest grade boundaries was in june 2013. I just did the non calc paper and managed to get 96/100 whereas the 2016 paper we did I only managed to get high 80s maybe low 90s. It was definitely apparent that the june 2013 paper was much easier. Do you think the grade boundaries will be around 169?
