Boundaries might be lower because it's the first year of the new spec. A* is normally about 160-170/200 which is 80-85/100 for each paper so 80 might be an A*, and at least an A :smile:

This time next year, we will be sitting our final A-level exams, praying we get the grades for university. ;D

ah ok thats pretty good then :smile:, so hopefully I may have just scraped an A* which would be good but personally I don't mind if I get an A. I just think my teacher will XD see in my set we are basically all expected to get an A* or 100%, I think I may have been put in the wrong set XD

I know, I guess next year at least we'll have a few less exams but they will be a lot harder than GCSE's XD.

I'm revising for edexcel calculator maths tomorrow and I've got stuck on a question I was wondering if anybody could help me out by explaining how to do this to me.

So I'm doing similar shapes.

Q.) Two prisms, A and B, are mathematically similar.
The volume of prism A is 12,000 cm3
The volume of prism B is 49, 152cm3
The total surface area of prism B is 9,728cm2
Calculate the total surface area of prism A

I got the answer 4806.324 which is wrong. Some help would be really appreciated because I'm really stuck with this one XD.
