Re: C2 May 2012 Edexcel - Post Exam Thread - Paper and Solutions in the FIRST POSTlooooool OMG I DID THAT @ THE START!!!!(Original post by craycray)
Didn't have a clue on how to do the trig identities question + keyed in wrong value for differentiation

somehow got 120 / 4(pi) = 30(pi) -
Re: C2 May 2012 Edexcel - Post Exam Thread - Paper and Solutions in the FIRST POSTHmm, I think he did. I thought it would come up as it seemed to repeat itself every few years(Original post by Part A)
I swear someone predicted that on the C2 thread (might have been Arsey) - I went and learnt it as well luckily enough...

Re: C2 May 2012 Edexcel - Post Exam Thread - Paper and Solutions in the FIRST POST
Hi.. (waiting for model answers
)
I think it was ok, but I was re-taking. Our L6 was complaining about the logs in question 2.. but that's them
Anyway, in question 3 for the perimeter of the sector I forgot to add the radius, so basically I calculated jsut the arc length (as 9.28).
And in question 6 I only got 0°, 39.2° & 90°, and not the other two solutions.
How many marks would I have dropped there? I'm hoping for 90UMS, and if that's it, it should be alright, shouldn't it?
Thanks (also to Arsey for providing this!)

Expecting only 1 mark lost due to forgetting to round the 85mm^3 question, apart from that it was fine, the exam took me 20 minutes to finish, checked over (missing the "round to the nearest integer" part of that question) and went to sleep. Hoping for no more stupid mistakes.

Re: C2 May 2012 Edexcel - Post Exam Thread - Paper and Solutions in the FIRST POSTGrade boundaries shouldn't be high. For C1 and C2 grade boundaries hardly ever fluctuate and are always around 60/75 for the A which is normally 80% anyways! So dw too much about that =/(Original post by 0range)
I honestly think the grade boundaries will be really stupidly high
lost so many marks there already
