Can somebody anwer this question for me?

Would i get 1 mark for writing
S = B+T

When the answer was S= 20b + 30t and it was a 3 mark question?

I'm amused by the duplicate factorising question.

Chill, or maybe he just wanna boast. Everyone boast SOMETIME in the exams.
You do good, you boast, you do bad you complain about people boasting :smile:

I am complaining about him boasting, but I didn't do bad, I got my A* in November and now I've finished C1 and onto C2. The reason why I'm complaining is because he didn't say "Hey guys, I think I got an A* because I'm really confident" he literally said "Guys, I got 93% overall, is that an A*?" someone of his intellect (let's just say he did get what he thinks he got) should know that 93% is well into the A* boundary.

LOL, umm I don't understand how anyone can find the non-calc for march 2012 easy! It was hard! Without doubt november 2011 non-calc was much easier. :/

I got roughly 75 - 80 is that good enough for a C? XD I sound pretty stupid because you all going for A's and I'm just here attempting to get my C in higher XD

Why bother asking such a daft question, ofcourse that's more than a C. :/

The paper will not be out of 200 as there was a duplicate question and it will not gain credit twice.

Factorise a quadratic - it is the same question on the non-calc and the calc paper. Another embarrassing Edexcel stuff-up.

im in the same situation as you , im hoping the grade boundaries aren't similar to a few years ago (141 for an A) because then i'd have just missed it... and that would be insane annoying...

Well I can tell you I'm 100% confident in getting an A* in this test.
Plus I am doign the exact board as you on A-level maths. I too have done C1 and I got my result of 96% too and is well into my C2 maths.

Or maybe he is just a retard who is SOMEHOW clever.
BTW don't attempt to say anyone of us are boasting because I know more than a dozen who got 100% on thier C1 exams :/ AND with 7 of them at the ages of 15. Hmm...I guess we are all younger than you :P

Yes it's changing
The maths knowledge being tested is practically identical
It will include new types of functional and problem solving questions that students have been preparing for since Y7
The difficulty of papers varies from exam to exam but grade boundary adjustments are made to compensate for variations in difficulty.
It will be no easier or harder to achieve a particular grade

Will that be for all year groups that are taking the exam in june?
