I'm seriously stressing right now.

I got A* on the first two units and I'm on 220 UMS

My teacher say for an A* you need 360 UMS so that means I need around 70 marks (roughly 140 ums) for an A* or 50 marks for an A

However in practises I've been averaging around 52 and in my last practise I got 48 (which wouldn't even get me an A. It's really suck to have got two A*'s then come out with a B.

Found this mock paper during a Google search for 5MB3H for my son who couldn't find any(!). It is the paper that relates to the the mark scheme posted by mathsmind

Also found an additional paper with answers included (attached)

Hope they help!

Yes I know what you mean but sometimes, say in science, you may get 100UMS but not get full marks?

Yeah in the sciences the cut off mark for 100 UMS is sometimes 33! But I think in Edexcel maths they have fixed grade boundaries? Like 72/80 for an A*, which is always 144? This is just what I've found, but yeah, my teacher has said previously that they shift slightly But I personally don't think that 75/80 would equal 157 UMS, do you reckon it could?

Could u pleaseee email me some as well, because I really don't know what to revise. i think I just need to do some past papers but I don't have any.

Yep of course, do you want to PM me your email address?

My current grades are: unit 1: 85-b
Unit 2: 77-c
so I need 118 ums for a B overall and i want to do maths for a-level
could I do it?

Thanks a lot, i spent the whole of Friday nigh looking for these papers, is it possible to post the papers you send to people on the website? Thanks again =)

[Welbeck help]

Thank you but that paper is unit two I believe (the paper 2381-u3p13-m12-sol.pdf‎)

Also I think the final answer on that paper is incorrect, it should be k = 1 + 1/4pi

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong?

No I doubt it haha, I reckon 78 would push it up to 160 but nothing less. Are you sitting this exam too? If so what is it you need to get whatever grade you are hoping to achieve?

Yes you would be able to achieve that if you put the work in. Thats roughly 56 out of 80

Does anyone have the mark scheme for the churchill maths paper A???

Yeah, that sounds reasonable Anddd I need 138 UMS, so that'd be about 69 raw marks? What about you?

I have th same problem as yours, but you are much luckier. I am at 200 UMS, i need 60 marks out of 80 to get my A, but this exam is much harder. I need an A even though my target grade is A*. LOL

[A193]

My current grades are:
unit 1: 102 UMS - A
Unit 2: 98 UMS - A
so I need 120 ums for an A overall. do you think i can, i have done the mock paper and have recived 68/80 which is 136 UMS - but what do you guys think

For any one who need the circle theorem i took a pic from my edexcel book

All the papers I have are attached I also have the mark scheme for the mock paper, but I don't have a digital copy of the actual paper :/

You should remember that ums is your friend, the a* mark might be considerably lower than you think, fingers crossed anyway.
