Have you got the questions? I'll try and remember them here if it will help anyone.
Also, thanks very much for doing this!

Yes I have the questions. I don't have the time to type them all in though.

oooooo

Few questions

for question 6, i droped a sign and got 4x-6y+13..
How many marks would i lose?

for question 7 i got my values for x BUT totally forgot to sub it back in to get y..

how many would i lose there?

and finally, question 9

i did -7 < x < 4 and totally forgot about negative lengths.. how many would i lose there?

Sorry for all the questions

Sorry for all the questions

I also got -7<x<4 which would technically be right?

LOL I hope so? What has MR M got to say about it?

Drop one mark.

Hi Mr M, for 3(iii)

i put (40/3,-2) will i get any marks

i just divided it wrong.

[As_Dust_Dances_]

How many marks do you think I would lose if I accidently put 2-6root7 for the other x value on qu7? 1 mark? Also if I got the perimeter wrong 9ii) and put 10y+3 instead of 10y+6 resulting in getting 1.7<x<5.1? 2 marks?

Q6 probably 4 or 5 marks

Q7 not really sure what you have done

Q9 already answered

Hi Mr M, if you had a guess what would you say will be the minimum for an A.

HI for Q6 (normal one) I got the wrong gradient for the tangent but did the rest right I think, how many marks would I lose?thanks

[COYI]

Mr M, anychance of error carried forward for 4 ii)?

Not good at guessing these but I thought it was very straightforward.

[Mr M]

I will be able to answer questions but I am teaching all afternoon and after school so it won't be until after 5 p.m.

I'll try and answer loads of queries then.

Q7 not really sure what you have done

Q9 already answered

I'd lose 4/5 marks?! or did you men get lol?

and q7) basically i worked it all out and got my y value to be 3 +- root 7 .. i left it at that..

but i forgot to put it back into my equation and if i did then i would have got the right answer..

I think i'd lose 2 mark max?

68/72 will be above 90 ums right?
