    It was a pretty hard test, the AQA Unit 2, don't you think? The start was alright but then it got much harder towards the end.

    I couldn't do the final 3rd! :P I felt like I had no time.. I'm just PREYING I got a C! In my Unit 1 I got a B, so I hope I do well in the final so that it all evens out to a B.

    Did you get y=x for a question? Can't remember which one it was, might've been an equational fraction or sim equation

    i didnt complete the muffins question, i might have got atleast 2 marks out of the 5 for my working out though.
    straight after the exam i typed in 12500x0.94 (to work out 6%) and i got 11750 so we got that right

    @kaneboy & Others- I believe it's 33% of our final grade. The results will be released to students on Thursday April 19Th. I completed the exam with minimal problems except: The Question about the twins, the last question about the graph & the muffin & loaves question- i got 80p for the final answer

    Nice dude Glad you found it quite easy.

    I wonder what the grade boundaries will be? My guess would be..

    30% C
    50% B
    60% A
    70% A*

    @kaneboy Did you find it easy or hard. I believe it was a mixture of both and i actually liked the paper for once! I agree with your percentage predictions. I think it will be 46/66 for an A* because some people i asked found it really hard. Hopefully 38/66 for an A! What do you hope to get?
