    C3 June 2012 - Post Exam Thread - Solutions and Paper in the FIRST POST
    I thought this was a fairly standard paper but it did have lots of parts to questions that could cause a lot of problems

    There hasn't been a summer session boundary of less than 60 since 2007 and I really can not see it happening this time either; my best guess at boundaries is:

    75 = 100ums
    69 = 90ums
    63 = 80ums
    56 = 70ums
    49 = 60ums
    42 = 50ums
    35 = 40ums


    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 D1 threads, they are worth a read and you will see what the common errors were...

    The second link has loads of past papers, mark schemes, model solutions etc

    So how did everyone find it? I thought it was a fairly average paper and hopefully once I get a look at the MS, life will be good !
