What did you get in M2 last time, I got 59/72 which is a D in Jan12.

The 59 mark you got would have been out of 100 (i.e the UMS mark) if you got 59, I got 50, but didnt have any lessons for it or anything. Im worried about the work energy and power questions however.

Just did Jan 12, I don't get how the grade boundaries for that paper were so low when it wasn't that difficult compared to the other?

How do you find the grade boundaries for specific papers?

Also, i did that paper in a tested mock - i completely agree, it was much the same as other papers. I find that S2 is probably one of the better maths papers, in that you can pretty much be guranteed of what is going to be asked.

They're on the mei website, it was 56 for an A whereas i have seen similar papers that have been 60+.

I did that in Jan, and got a C
I thought that paper was really good, looking at the mark scheme, I prob lost marks on the last part of last question.. I really don't know where I went wrong! Should have got paper back..
I'm prepared to attack the the paper tomorrow! I hope it goes well

Sorry to hear that, sometimes things just don't go the way you want Yeah I agree plenty of things to stretch the A* candidates (Q3 I believe was a bit tricky) whilst still offering some easy marks.

Good luck, hope it goes well for you too .

[chunderseverywhere]

Some of the past papers I've done have the grade boundary for an A as 62/72 which is about 86%
It's never gone upto 90% Sorry for the confusion

[chunderseverywhere]

Oh and all the best of luck to everyone tomorrow! Let's hope its a nice, doable paper!

I reeeeeeeeeally hope regression line comes up, it's like a free question

Concidering it's usually regression line or Spearmans rank coefficient I'd say that I may get my wish but knowing my luck it'll be Pearsons PMCC.

I'd say the regression line and PMCC are the easiest, I don't like Spearman's because sometimes I make mistakes on the ranking.
Since Jan12 was on Spearman's,
and Jun11 was on Regression Line,
I'm thinking PMCC will come up today.

good luck everyone!

I got 66 for k first and then went back and added in the continuity correction and got k=65 but still not too sure!

[AlexBamsey]

i thought it was ok overall

[Fatima0065]

Did you guys do (np,npq) and get 78.93...or sumthing liek that for the aprriximating question?

I got 66 but apparently I got my z value as a negative but it should have been positive.

[rainbowsxyz]

what did you guys get for the 25 crates question? I got around 0.98 something but it does't sound right?
Also for k, did you add 0.5 for the continuity correction?

Hey, what did you get for k?
