I had a mock test several weeks ago, in which I got 37, and that was C somehow...
A-48
B-43
C-38
D-33
E-28
It will be awesome if the grade boundaries will be this low. -
Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012

Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012We're trying to remember the questions, but I doubt many people will be able to get it earlier than tomorrow :P(Original post by kofanov)
Can someone get the question paper now? My teacher will be getting it only tomorrow. -

Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012
Really difficult paper! Hopefully grade boundaries will be really low.
For Q6 I got X=-0.175As Y= X^3 - 4X^2 + 5X + 1 and Z = 3X^2 - 8X + 5
So you get
X=0 Y=1 Z=5 W=-0.2
X=-0.2 Y=-0.168 Z=6.72 W=-0.175
X=-0.175 Y=-2.86*10^-3 Z=6.49 W=0.17456
Where |X-W|<0.05
X=-0.175
If i remember correctly . . .? Did anyone else get this? -
Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012you wish....(Original post by Lucozad)
I atleast want a B this year. No chance for an A now, unless the grade boundaries are like this :
A - 22
B - 17
C - 12
D - 7
E - 2
U - 0 -
Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012Or we should all totally forget this never happened, and concentrate with our other exams. Which probably be more wiser.(Original post by FK_)
It'd more productive if we tried to put together a markscheme than to guess the grade boundaries... -
Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012It was a joke lol, if they were that low every single person should have A's(Original post by kofanov)
you wish.... -
Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012whats the point? if you fail D1, no point of doing C3 and C4 for me....(Original post by Lucozad)

Re: OCR Decision 1 - 24 May 2012Lets hope there was an impossible question in our paper then XD(Original post by icy elemental)
You can't use this as an example because there was an impossible question that year which they disregarded when working out marks.
