    I personally think that will be the boundary for an A*, look at last june papers grade boundaries and their difficulty

    Congrats! Well, 69 would give you over 90 UMS in all but one of the past 14 session papers, so you should at least be close enough for your C3 to push it over the boundary!
    awww guys, thanks I don't want to get my hopes up (lost quite a bit om c3 too) but i appreciate it x

    Hm. For my differential equation, I went further and took one of the Ys to the other side :/ to get 4x^2/12-3y=y. Think I'll lose all the marks for that? :/ other than that full marks
    I did exactly same as you but i don't think we should lose any mark since it is still same answer but just in different form. We also shown the answer in unofficial mark scheme somewhere during our working out. It should be perfectly fine, they shouldn't take away mark for going even further

    do you loose marks when no putting the modulus sign for lnx things on integration? (questions 1)b and 7)b)

    also for 2)c I made read the question wrong and worked out dA/Dx. so i did v=6x^2, then dV/dx= 12x .... then said it was 96. would i get a mark for the first two things? (the question was out of 3)

    for 3)c it was a two mark question, however i simply stated the answer, would i loose a working out mark?

    For 1b. I got the integration correct and the final ln soultion but I may have got the constant wrong. How many marks would I lose?

    Do we get any follow through marks for this? I integrated 1/y for Q4 instead of y; does that mean 5 marks down the drain? Does the first Q get follow through marks?

    For the first question I got the B and C values wrong so consequently differentiated wrong.

    Really annoyed with myself, did everything right in the last part of the last question apart from making a stupid mistake (I expanded the brackets and got 4lambda = 24) this may have cost me the a* :'( how many marks would I lose for this?

    Haiyya, my calculations for the last bit are rift except I got lambda equals -7, so my final answer was wrong.. Also, I got y=
    +-Root(9/4)but I substituted y=9/4 instead of 3/2by mistake :'( how many lost is that in total?
