on the question where you had to reflect the shape in the line x = -1, i put it in exactly the right place but didn't label it, as it didn't say. will i lose a mark for this? i literally just drew the shape and left it. :s-smilie:

its wrong because the question asks you to make k the subject and in order to do this u can only have k on one side. I've highlighted the k that shouldnt be on that side but u would definately get marks for working - i cant remember how many marks that question was though.

Oh fair enough! At least I'll know for the next exam - I just assumed that because it was 'tk' that it was fine - but I get it now, thanks :smile:

won't make the same mistake again hopefully... Also for simultaneous equations, if you show the workings out of how to tackle the question, but you go wrong somewhere - some that makes you get both answers of x and y wrong :| Do you still get marks for working out?

I doubt you will lose a mark for it - examiners look to give you marks, not take them away :smile:

well most of them...

Hi,

For question 2b where the answer is 7.5 hours, I wrote 7.35 hours, will I still get the 2 marks for this ??

Also for the estimation question - 7.19 x 19.7 / 0.5
I rounded it to 7.2 x 20/ 0.5 and got the answer 288, will I still get a mark ?

And what was the question for 5a & 12b

okay thanks! i think i got 65 so i'm praying that this is the mark for an A on this paper! (but judging by most people's predictions this isn't going to be the case!). i really want an A overall, going to have to do really well on friday :s-smilie:

Yeah - on the news it was being said that 'h' was possible to be found, however it was not intentional, as the Exam board used 'h' instead of 'l' or something... I can't quite remember. Basically, they said for the average 16 year old it was too hard to solve within the time that you had, taking into account all the other questions that had to be done.

You know on the question where it said " estimate how long it will take him to read 150 pages " I wrote 7hours is that right?
