Edexcel Maths 3H linear 6th June

I reckon I got around 30 marks on that paper, it was just so hard.

what grades do you normally get?
i agree though most people have dropped a lot of marks that they wouldnt normally

I'm usually within the 40's range, I've never gotten above a C in maths mocks, and I was predicted a B, but I think they overestimated my abilities!!

Exam was hard. The percentage increase was a tricky question as the answer should've been 500% but I put 60%. Lol couldn't believe It i even looked up at the percentage increase in the mathwatch it told me the formula to calculate it but I wasn't sure if that formula would be suitable for that question cos da answer was over 100%, this question was tricky cos I never faced it before. Also the third to last question, surface area question, think i fukd it i put h = x^3. And on the last question, the one where it asked you to solve the algebraic eqution. I got x = -2, or x = 3. Hope that's right what answer did you get for last question?

what percentage increase?
did you do modular
but for the last question yeah I got -2 and 3

Teachers seem to always give a predicted grade one grade higher than your mock grades
don't worry though I'm sure the grade boundaries will be low and hopefully the calculator will be easier!

What answer did u get for the surface area question?

Where it had said that the surface area of a cone was the same as a hemisphere. And it said to express h in terms of x. What did you get?

Wait what percentage increase question was there?? i dont seem to recall seeing that on the paper :O

I got h= root(3x^2), and on Mr m's mark scheme it has:

h^2+x^2=4x^2
h^2= 3x^2
h= x root (3)
I reckon i got 3 or 4 marks out of 4 of that question

I could have put 3x^2 not 8x^2, i'm so confused and stressed now. Did you include the bottom of the shape though? The formula was for a sphere so a hemispehere has the bottom side as well.
