    I absolutely stormed this exam............................ ....in terms of getting the worst possible grade HAHAHAHAHA, in all of the 3 mocks we did i got a U along with everyone (except 1) in my class. I was averaging around 12/100, FECK YH!! This exam however,,,was better! i reckon i got around 15/100. All i did was:

    Both of the sine and cosine questions on the boat
    Differentiated one equation........NO continuation
    Got the number line 1 right
    got the AC midpoint right

    My teacher was a vile lesbian bitch who could not teach a fish how to respire in water! If i could...i would sack her and laugh...she jeopardised my entire qualification damn it. I didn't even ****ing know what all that **** with: sinANGLE^60+COSANGLE^30 thing was until after the exam, i wasnt even cogniscent of its existence in the course! That course has lowered my self asteem and i used 6 pages of the paper explaining in the form of a letter how abysmal my "teacher" was and put some cheeky answers in to (for the "find the shaded region: I drew the graph and labelled the shaded bit MUHAHAHA. **** my teacher

    I don't think this year's paper is that hard, I found it easier that all the papers I've every done :P

    Btw, does anyone know where can I download this paper? Thanks

    I think I may have got about 70-80 marks.. although I was being quite generous and assuming I did the working correct to get my answers

    But that is better than I expected

    I sincerely doubt that. Will not go lower than low 60s.

    This paper was much easier compared to 2010/2011.

    2011 featured binomial distribution involving mutually exclusive - which is not on the syllabus
    2010 featured a very tricky second last question (the one about Ali) that you could not really prepare for.

    I am guessing A will be in the range of 61-65.

    Note that it may be higher as (my school has told me) that we HAVE to declare this exam as high-calibre Universities will be able to see it, whereas previously you did not have to declare your AdMaths paper. This, in my school at least, caused a lot of people who would have done it anyway but were unsure of it to drop out, hence maybe the boundaries will be pushed up.
    Our centre didn't prepare us well for this. 61 students were entered, 54 sat the exam and the majority didn't even write anything down. This means that at least 30 papers will gain a 0 and everyone found it hard in our centre so no-one will get above a D probably. Do you know what the grade boundaries for grade C -E might be? Thanks

    Roughly 30% E, 40% D, 50% C.
