i've seen in other papers that leaving the area as a fraction is fine, however i left the area as 104/6 instead of cancelling to 52/3, would this be one mark lost or would i still be ok for the three marks?


you will get full marks no marks lost because its right.
I got the same answer.:biggrin:
oh my god i lost so many marks..........i may end up getting 56/75.........i did so many silly mistakes.......i studied so hard and still lost so many marks.......so i probably will get a B.........i hope i get an A. JUST A HOPE:frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown::frown:

what did you guys get for the value of f(1) is it 5/2?
for the one where it said f(x)=(x-k)^2(x-k+2)
what did you get as intersect is it
k and k-2 for x-axis and (-k^3+2k^2 )for yaxis

then you might loose two marks or 1 might be because you will get ecf marks. in my mocks i did mistake in adding stuffs bt got 3/4.:smile:


So will I get full marks for (c) as I did the correct method and got the correct answer using MY value of T?

I know i'll probably lose a couple in (b) though but I'm fine with that.

I've probably got 72-73 marks. Does anyone know what UMS that might be?

yeah for the first one i got 2.5 and for the second one i only mentioned the two x axis but not the y ones......so one mark i lost:frown:

All correct there.

In the marks scheme he puts 2k2k3 2k^2 - k^3 but what you put is equivalent :smile:
Dropped one mark, maybe two. Hoping for 100 UMS :smile:

overall you will loose 1 mark or two dats it.

I reckon i've got 1 mark off getting 100UMS.

Annoying thing was the reason I screwed up a bit was silly mistakes. I found the actual questions quite easy :facepalm:
if in the translation one i translated the graph some units to the right but didnt put any of the coords, do i get 1 mark for realising that it had to be moved to the right??

On the integration one, I did it made it equal to 10 and subbed in the x.... but then forgot the 10 was there. So got F(1) wrong as well....
Hopefully not too many marks lost :frown:

me tooooooooooooo i lost so many marks that i may end up getting 56-58 marks just because of my stupid silly mistakes........:facepalm:
i dont think i am going to get an A.............cz most of the people are saying that the grade boundary for an A would be 60..........so no hope :frown:

Got everything apart from a little calculation error on the geometry one -.- Did the subsequent things on the question right - in terms of methodically - so shouldn't be penalised too much. 100 UMS would certainly be nice. :tongue:

You'll get at one mark for the shape of the graph.

Hmm the mistake I made was not multiplying 1800 by 5 in the question where you find T.

Obviously this carried through to part C but apparently I won't be penalised twice.

It's annoying as I had loads of time spare (c. 40 mins) and I could have checked my paper more carefully. :angry:

If anyone wants some encouragement my sixth form is maths specialist and a lot of very good mathematicians found the paper a bit tricky. A lot of people even missed out questions.

What I'm saying is, I think the grade boundaries should be relatively low from seeing the response the paper has got.

It wasn't overly tricky it was just the way some were worded I think.

I'd imagine it'd be like the question I did: one mistake in initial calculation, but the subsequent part - which mark schemes tend to stipulate "using their value of x..." - should give us only a mark dropped.

Yeah you're probably right. If that's true I think i'll get 73/74 which (hopefully) will make the 100 UMS boundary.

I'm just glad that I made sure I wrote out all the method as it really does help in situations.

:yep:
