C3 Jan 2012 Edexcel - Post exam discussion - Solutions and paper in first post
Reasonable paper I thought
Boundaries
Jan C3 boundaries have been fairly consistent in recent years; 61, 59, 60
I would say Jan 11 (61) was the most challenging of the 3.
I think Jan 12 was significantly easier than Jan 11, so I can only think that the boundaries will increase
My best guess is....
75 = 100UMS
69 = 90UMS
63 = 80UMS
57 = 70UMS
50 = 60UMS
43 = 50 UMS
36 = 40UMSLast edited by DFranklin; 25-01-2012 at 10:16. -

If I put 2 extra solutions for question 5, am I likely to be marked down? -

For the normal to the curve, i got the correct x coordinate, the right dy/dx in terms of y but somehow worked the gradient out as -1/2 not -8. After that i made an equation using that gradient. How many marks will i have lost?
Got everything else right except the domain, i didn't know what was going on :P -

Thanks Arsey
Just confirmed my suspicions that I mess up Q8 but very very surprised but happy to find out that I got that 10 marker right
Few silly mistakes... time in minutes thing... but other than that alright.
Grade boundary predictions would me greatly appreciated if possible!
