Agreed - am a bit gutted as I thought C1 was a chance to get full UMS but know for a fact I've missed that.

Exact same here man.

Why was the area not a triangle?!

I know!!! It's ALWAYS a triangle!

[Part A]

Q9 was a bastard, rest was fairly good. Solutions Arsey?

10% Luck, 20% Skill, 15% Concentrated power of will, 5% Pleasure, 50% Pay and 100% reason to remember the name. Don't ask me why I wrote that. that's just signs of me getting paranoid.

The paper was ok, my friend Danish thought it was easy though

[EhsanA]

never seen a 15 marker in c1!!

The rest was pretty straight forward!

65-70 I think for me.

Where's Arsey??!?!?!?

LOL I spent like 20 mins on that question, mainly because I had the crappiest diagram ever but in the end I got 90 for that

I spent ages on that too! I didn't have time to finish it!

This thread will be locked at somepoint and then unlocked at midnight following the Core 1 examination. I will upload the paper and my solutions to this post.
I will do my best to answer questions about the paper but please try to read the thread first so that I am not answering the same questions lots of times.Here are some links to previous C1 threads, they are worth a read and you will see what the common errors were...

(the second one contains loads of past papers, model solutions, etc)

Good luck tomorrow.

The second link doesn't work for me. Does it work for anyone else ?

For the quadrilateral question you had to divide it into two triangles... took a while to figure that out. I believe I made a few other mistakes too (silly ones).


How does Arsey even get the paper that quick anyways? Is he an examiner/teacher? (Not that I don't appreciate it!)

Who forgot to convert 63 pounds into pennies for the Prove m(m + 1) = 35 times 36 question

[EhsanA]

9 messed up the chance for full ums I'm sure of that xD

[riddler887]

the 2nd link isn't working for me either...

[yayifications]

I'd already decided to retake before the exam had even finished LOL. ): I'm bad at C2 so I was kinda relying on C1 to bring my grade up.

My mind went completely blank for that Q - I couldn't even work out the extra 2 co-ordinates
