How did everyone find it?

More difficult than the previous papers I thought, but I only made up the answer to the last question after factorising it.

I thought it was very difficult in comparison to past papers...
The questions were presented strangely and it really threw me :s-smilie:

The end q) i factorised and then divided to get somethinbg like
5x-11/2x... i cant really remember.
The algebra addition grid was really simultaneous equations... i think and i ended up with -1,7 and 5 but i cant remember which was z/y/x.

The mountain question really confused me for a while cos i didnt realise you had to refer to the other page for tan26.6.. then i think i worked it out wrong anyway, but i hope i got marks for working..

I really hope the grade boundaries for this go down!

It was horrible =(

end question was too hard, didn't get it. grid one i had -1, 7 and 5 too. i didnt get the mountain one either but i just wrote some relevent stuff down.

for the second to last question, did you get some wierd answers like 16y pie cubed or something along those lines

It killed my brains.

For the second to last question I got something along the lines of 12ypie/2, all my answers for that were in fraction form.

I hated the paper.

Did anyone else have to do difference of two squares on the last question? Like (x-11)(x+11) ? The question about working out the number of sides, where it gave 168degree angles threw me... oh dear.

Yeah i got 16y pie cubed too for one of the shapes :smile:

. Did you end up with the size order from smallest to largest being sphere --> Cone --> Cylinder?

I thought that I had the wrong paper for the first couple of questions cause it was so easy but then got to the mountain one and went downhill from there :-s

I thought this paper was harder than previous ones. Did anyone else think that there seemed to be lots of 5 mark/6 mark questions, more than there usually are?
I found the addition grid really fun actually, I quite enjoyed it haha. I got -1, 7 and 5 also.

Oh dear oh dear. I think I totally failed this question then. My order was completely different, I think.

the boundaries will definintely go down, without a doubt. i havent heard anyone say it was easy so they must have to go down. but the calc paper will probs be easy because this one was so hard!
