    Yeah i thought it was a lot easier than the Non Calc, i reckon the grade boundaries will be around 87 for an A*.

    Yeah cos the equation was PiR + 2Pi so R(Pi+2) was 13.6 so R was 13.6 / Pi+2

    I didn't like some of the questions on that paper .... :|
    Non-calculator was easier by far..

    Does anyone know what an A/A* would be?!

    I'm thinking on paper 1
    50/70 for A and 60/70 for A*

    Paper 2
    70/105 A and 80 for A*

    Yeah 8/11 is the same as 24/33 the mark scheme says equivalent so both answers are correct

    8/11 and 24/33 are the same, so they should both be right,

    I got 8/11 too, for the second to last question did you all just force a common denominator & simplify?

    Did the dice question say to list in order of most probable to least probable or least to most?
