later man
i got around 56 on the first paper and around 74-75 on the second paper what grade would that be guys.
What if you make silly mistakes such as the depreciation on maths calculator paper and you get the answer wrong? For example instead of doing 11,500x0.82^2 I found the percentage of the second year and used it again for the third year too. Would I still get some marks??

I am so disappointed with my second paper and especially on the questions where I knew I could do it but because of silly mistakes I didn't!

yh I'm sure you will get some marks if you showed your working out and your calculations.
Plus when will the grade boundaries be announced?

I did show my working out but that wasn't the right way to do it. I hope I will receive one mark at least!!

I hope so!!! Btw are the examiners strict with marks?
Does anyone think the grade boundaries will be 128 for an A? What do you guys think the grade boundaries will be?
Will the grade boundaries be announced before we receive our results?

ugh tell me about it, I got 3 questions wrong. The last one I misread the entire question and only worked out the first Angle, the question where you had to find the perimeter of the shaded area; didn't do that. I decided to workout the area instead like a ****ing tool. On top of that I also put the wrong answer for the trial and error question (I put 3.7)

I'll still get around 92 but I seriously could have done so much better If I wasn't so arrogant, rushing through the paper and then not checking my answers.

It's depends really, but most are strict unless if you are really lucky

To be honest with myself I sadly found the paper a bit easy but because of silly mistakes and others I lost precious marks! Although I think the first paper wasn't that easy compared to the first. I think to get an A they should allow 128 because it happens sometimes that we make simple mistakes.
