Edexcel Linear Higher Non-Calc June 2011 Model answers on the actual paper (1st post)

yes, they are correct.

It is guess work, it depends how everyone has done

there were some tricky questions, so the mean mark will be slightly lower than on previous papers but I think there will be far less candidates getting very high marks which will reduce the standard deviation.

The overall grades, D, C and B boundaries do not vary very much.

Maybe

C - 27
B - 45
A - 63
A* - 81


I am expecting a more straight forward second paper on Friday

I got H=2x for that hemisphere question... agh!

And I did the transformation the wrong way round, from the wrong triangle to the other.

Failed the density question, and for that triangle question I spoke about R.H.S...

Ah well, goodbye A*. Overall I think I got 81, give or take.

The transformation question was sneaky. I thought it was Q to P so I just put (6,1) Fail >.> And the density question i got 384...argh fail once more :'(

I put 448 for the density question lol
totally wrong because I forgot to change the 2m to 200cm and I some how calculated the area wrong. but am hoping to get 3 marks for attempting to work out the area, the volume and using density x volume

for the vectors question, I found out that the vector was 1.2a+1.2b and then said that divides by 1.2 to give a+b so is parallel. Will I get the full 3 marks?

I'm looking at around 80-81 on this paper. From Arsey's prediction that's a border line A*. How high do you think I'd have to get on Friday to ensure I get the A* overall?

And yeah you probably will, because 1.2 is the right answer and you just had to say they were multiples of each other which you kind of did... Hopefully the examiners aren't too harsh :/

So do we think friday's paper will be just as hard?

Attached to this post are the model answers to the 6th June 2011 Non-Calc Higher Paper. They are intended for personal use only, I will remove them from the thread in a week or so.

I will happily remove the model answers before then if requested to do so by site admin

your lucky i pretty much blanked out in the exam I got about 70! When I was suppose to get an a* I really need to try and get full marks in this next paper... i've been so stresses I couldn't sleep!
