Yeah same probably haha.. but I hate talking to people after the exam and exchanging answers as it usually makes me realise how many I got wrong :frown:

Well, people on here had the same so :biggrin:
Anyone know how long it takes for the unoffical mark schemes to come out?

Also I wasn't sure about square root of 45 minus square root of 43 (or something) squared, and the 8 marks shape one.

I'm not sure, but if you find out, please let me know!

The root one was 20 and the shape was the angle.was 111.... I posted some answers

I don't think we are :wink: how about the area under a curve :|... I got something between 75 and 80... Cant remember... Failed that one question...


I wasn't sure about that question either to be honest, I used the trapezium rule and got something like 1775 unit^2 lol.

The method I used was like this 1/2 x (2+y0+y5(y1+y2+y3+Y4))

Also I wasn't sure about the coordinate question I had T's coordinates as something like a>-5 and b>-5+1 :s-smilie:. It had a lot of space underneath the question so I drew a little diagram to kind of show it lol.

Other than that the paper was okay but it was definitely the hardest in recent years.

Yeah, I agree! I wanted to use integration... I ended up drawing trapeziums beneath and calculating area :P I got something between 75-80..

For the Ts Co-Ordinates I put (and it worked!)

(a, 2-b)
I used X in the trapezium rule, can't remember what my answer was in the end though

Was it between 75-80 :smile:
Hmm can't remember, I just remember the values of 5x being 1/2(0x0)h and thinking I'd done it wrong

I think everyone struggled with that :/
I hope it is a difficult one, I think I got around 62/100 atleast. Should be an A?

Really?? I'm confident then, I thought I had over 90... Maybe I'm being optimistic :s-smilie:

All my past papers were like 72/100 for an A*. Around me 90/100 is easily an A*

Thanks! Feel better now :biggrin: good luck to yoh! And for Wednesday!:biggrin:
With question 11 I worked out after the exam the most simple answer was (a,2-b) however in the exam I put (a,b-(2b-2)) which is correct just hardly the most straightforward answer. I did all of my working out using a diagram underneath the lines. How many marks do you think I'll get?
Since it's theoretically correct I suppose there's a chance I could get full marks but I suppose there's also a chance that since it's not exactly correct and I did all of my working out using a diagram underneath the lines I could get no marks. What do you think?
I'm not overly worried because I'm confident that the rest of the paper went well but I'd rather not lose 5 marks in one question. Otherwise it was definitely a much more challenging paper than all of the past papers I've done.

I wrote (a, 2-b) is that full marks?? I also drew diagrams as proof... :P

Yes I'm almost completely certain that that's full marks.

Phew! What did you get for the area bound by a graph?? My answer was something between 75-80
