C4 Jan 12 Edexcel Post Exam Discussion - Solutions in first post

Here are past questions that a Maths tutor suggested that should be done to attain an A* or very high UMS scores in C3 and C4.

Pure 2 and Pure 3 papers were much more challenging than Core 3 and Core 4. So if you can do those Pure questions, then you should be on the way to A*!

It should be clear that P1 P2 P3 mark schemes for possible questions are here:

P1 P2 P3 Solomon Papers and P1 P2 P3 Jan Jun 01 02 03 04 05 and P2 Nov 02 03 04 Papers and Mark Schemes

Guess there won't be many of us taking the exam. Suspect that the grade boundaries will be high too *sigh*

What a strange mindset.
Just think positive and crack on with the revision/learning.
Whilst last Januarys grade boundaries were high that was an unusually 'straight forward' paper and has no relation to the fact it was in January or based on the make up of the cohort.

My *sigh* is because generally people taking C4 this January (like myself) will be doing it earlier or ahead of their school thus would be the higher scoring applicants.
I think that last years high boundaries were due to the surge of applicants brushing up their grades for universities before the fees go up.

Nontheless, revision is full stream ahead and I can't wait to get core out the way to move onto FP2/3 fully.

never too late, but I would have suggested starting before Xmas.

When is the ideal time to start having a crack at past papers? I've started having a go at them but I feel it may be slightly too late...Just over 3 weeks left
