OCR (non mei) C4 Friday 24th June 2016

No idea, I've not seen the paper.

I got either 144e^3 or 1/144e^3 ... Not e^2...

was this harder than last year/

No, I sat the paper last year as well (I got 3 ums off an A* hence the retake) and last years was a lot more difficult... The questions were fiddly and such

You should find the paper easier because you got a whole year of practice.

But comparatively, I did the 2015 paper as part of revision again and it was an awful paper (not as awful at 2014; I think an A* was 57 in that one) but the questions on this paper were slightly easier, so I think the grade boundaries will be slightly higher

In my opinion, I think this paper was harder because I only drop 1 mark on the 2015 paper. But I think I will drop 9-10 on that one

I guess it just depends on your strong points in maths this paper had a lot of high mark questions, so it just depends

Can I ask for your opinions and predictions for the grade boundaries for an A* on core 3 and core 4?

I didn't do core 3 this year, so I can't say!

Put personally, I think about 63-64/72 will be an A* for core 4.. However, I don't know how people did with question 6 and question 10, so it could be a lot lower as these were probably the hardest questions on the paper

That is what I thought as well, I hope it will be lower because all the people in my class said that was terrible

I accidentally wrote my answer to 9(i) in the box for 8(ii) continued, and my answer to 9(ii) in the box for 9(i) - I hope that makes sense! I realised this and didn't have time to copy everything out into the correct boxes, but I made it very clear afterwards that I had written in the wrong boxes, so the examiner will know which answer goes with which question. Will I lose marks for this? I'm really hoping the examiner is nice to me!!!

You won't lose marks. It's no problem.
