For question 22 I did it to 1(d.p) instead of 3sf would I still get all the marks? Secondly, my friends and I did VAT on each tyre then times 3 instead of 3 times the tyre price and then VAT on the that. Which one is correct because the wording of the question isn't clear but sounds like the VAT on each tyre.

Re: GCSE Higher Calc March 2012 - Paper and model answers in first postDamn, I was so angry at that...3 marks lost.(Original post by spookz)
that histogram question tricked me i plotted the last point all the way to 60 so angrrrrrrrrrrry!!!!!!!!
I always suck at histograms, and yesterday I blasted it and only worked out the FD and MP.
Didnt plot :/
Turns out I was revising on Mymaths yesterday morning...it had 0.4 too, exactly like the exam (First one was 0.4) = each sqaure = 4 people.
ffs :/ -
Re: GCSE Higher Calc March 2012 - Paper and model answers in first postEither way is acceptable....(Original post by rdmchill)

VAT per tyre = £13 per tyre...but 20% VAT from all 3 types = £39. Same as £13 x 3
It doesnt matter as long as you got the right ans.
Also, for Qus. 2, it says to an SUITABLE degree of accuracy. I'm nto sure about the 3 S.F but I written down 3.605 which I don't think you will be marked down for feelin thats the suitbale degree of accuracyLast edited by xXxDHxXx; 06-03-2012 at 19:33. -

But yeah this sure is a hard paper.
I didn't do the November resit, I did my in June 2011. However after achieving an A (was 2 marks off A*) I decided to resit this year!
Ofcourse everything is easier now because I actually revised! DOH! -
Re: GCSE Higher Calc March 2012 - Paper and model answers in first post2 for table, and 3 for graph I think(Original post by valerab)
how many marks was the histogram question? -
Re: GCSE Higher Calc March 2012 - Paper and model answers in first postMore or less. But slight chance u get a high A(Original post by Manunited_96)
Would 79 in non calculator and 94 in calculator paper be enough for an A* -
Re: GCSE Higher Calc March 2012 - Paper and model answers in first postDepending on Grade bounday and using the lowest mark on the cal paper, you will just be able to get an A or maybe a high B. Last year summers Grade boundary for A is 121, your 123 with lowest score, cutting it a bit I think(Original post by ata12)
If I got 55 on the calc, and 68-72 on the non calc, would that be enough for an A?
