So.... how did everyone find that then..........

[Dalek1099]

Add a poll and I thought the questions required a lot of thought but were easy in the end of the day-I think I have got 100%.
Estimate Grade Boundaries:A*-46 A-36 B-27 C-19 D-12-probably,not very accurate but I always like to guess, you never know I might sometime be right.

I think it was really easy (: The only question that caught me out was the cross question (and it was like the easiest question woops! :L), but in the end I think I got it.

[John Proctor]

meh, i screwed up the last question cause i didn't realise it was 4c :L and the taxi question...please someone...what the hell was the taxi question???

[ellie2996]

Yeah ikr! I was so so confused by that bloody question

[Emma K]

I have already got maths gcse at a C grade on Edexcel but all my other gcses were A's so I thought screw it lets re-take...

BAD MOVE

Today's exam went horribly Totally going to get under a D grade :'(

But to be fair, the reason I probably didn't understand most of it is simply this...my college refused to do lessons for any gcse maths higher tier candidates as they wanted to focus on people who hadn't already achieved a C. I was completely left to get on with it and I asked but receieved little to no help.

Sigh xD better hopes for the last unit

[HELP1996]

This test was really hard....nothing i revised was on it and the wording on the questions were terrible.... what did u guys put for the taxi question? was the new taxi cheaper or expensive....

[ellie2996]

Yeah I found that particular question very hard....

[darrenmeacher]

It went great apart from the 3²⁰¹² question, that was a bloody joke!

What did anyone get for the graph question where you had to give the equation for the line? I was really stuck on that one

[Jo166]

Aaahh, help. I got that cozy cab was cheaper by something like £2.80 and that she lived 4 miles away. Anyone else get this?

[kate123456789]

Yeah I got the remainder was 9 as well

[cheemaftw]

I got the remainder as 9 too.
I got y = 3x+21 for the second last question
What was the last question again? I think it was something like: (3x+c)(x+c) = 3x^2 - 4dx + 16?
I got (c = 2 and d = 8) and (c = 4 and d = 16) I think..

I believe the taxi question was:

Company 1 - £2.20 flat fee + £1.60 per km
Company 2 - £4 flat fee + £1.40 per km
Company 3 - £1.70 per km

The distance was 9km:
Company 1:
9*1.6 = 14.4
14.4 + 2.2 = £16.60

Company 2:
9*1.4 = 12.6
12.6 + 4 = £16.60

Company 3:
9*1.7 = £15.30

16.6 > 15.3 therefore Company 3 was cheaper by £1.30.

If I only wrote c=4 and d=16 will I get the marks? I didn't realise you had to write two answers
