Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012out of 200?(Original post by weirdnessandcoffee)
Thats over half, I thought it would only be 30 or 40 at the most for a C -
Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012Oh! Sorry, yeah- that should be fine because I'm desperately hoping for a C, and 60/200 sounds okay. It all depends on grade boundaries for this year though- fingers crossed.(Original post by safwan15)
out of 200? -
Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012oh right. i asked my teacher and she said its roughly 24/100 on each paper for a C so i think we should be safe(Original post by weirdnessandcoffee)

which ones do you not recognise? If they are all on one double page I suppose it might be likely....

Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012Yay! I'm hoping thats correct, because I didn't the juice box question, the circle therom and all the other A-A* questions. I think you pick up marks for doing the right proceedure even if you get the awnser wrong.(Original post by safwan15)

Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012i didnt do them either but the calculator paper is supposed to be easier so im aiming for around 40 marks on it which will hopefully secure a C(Original post by weirdnessandcoffee)

Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012Are you sure?! That's incredibly low for a C. Was the paper really that difficult?(Original post by safwan15)

I got 11:00am if you wrote 10:20 I think it was 3 marks you probably would get 2(Original post by dav.h96)
varactas, i worked out the LCM aswell, which was 120 minutes so surely you add on 2 hours? i got 11:00am i think, i may be wrong though

Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012I sure hope so- I know I can't get into any law uni without a C in maths. Good luck(Original post by safwan15)

Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012im not sure as she said its roughly around that much but i think it would be around 60/200 for a c(Original post by velvetbrain)

I thought it was a lot to do! There were quite a lot of trick questions where you really had to read the questions and you also had to draw a lot of graphs and diagrams! I had no time to check my answers and also left the cylinder question out!(Original post by tinkerbell1109)
Also, I need some tips to pace myself in the exam as I found yesterday I was rushing slightly. Did anybody else feel like it was alot to do in the 1hr 45 mins? The questions seemed longer to me. How do I ensure I have enough time to check through all my answers and avoid silly mistakes? Please help =)

Re: Edexcel GCSE Mathematics 1MA0/H (New Spec Functional Skills) 11th June 2012Yep thats exactly what I did, I think we should get 2 marks(Original post by shyamshah)
For the cylinder question, I wrote down the formulas and simlified it a bit but didn't get the final answer, I should still get some marks for the method right?
did I like miss out a few pages or something?
