Mr M's Edexcel GCSE Linear Foundation Tier Paper 1 Answers June 2011

Scroll to see replies

Unless i read the question wrong how can an obtuse angle be 42 degrees? Q9 part 3.

Also I noticed this paper looked harder than the November 2010 paper and for a C you had to get 147. So maybe the boundaries will be dropped a bit for this paper?

looking at the answers i think i got 58 marks out of 100! how much do i need in the calculator paper to get a C! please lower the boundaries as i have used all my spare time to revise for the past exam.

You should definetly aim for 90 marks to secure a c. Otherwise its over mate. :frown:

Hey MR M. Thanks for sharing your great information. I did the exam on Monday, and it wasn't too bad. But i am quite nervous for Friday's one as im not sure what topics to really go over fully. These ones that you have listed, are they 100% concrete that this is what the exam will cover or is this an estimation?
Many thanks in advance!!!!

yes it was more difficult than usual

if you are a grade C candidate you will get a grade C - the boundary will be lowered
