    I took higher, and it was a lot easier than I expected. A few questions were difficult but I did a lot better in the calculator paper than the non calculator. Hoping I scrape a B from it.

    I can't remember what I wrote but I got a few minutes after nine, I'm probably wrong though.

    She arrived at 9:06am. So no, she didn't get there by 9am.

    Thought that paper was so much easier than the first paper!
    So glad there weren't any surds... but no trig??
    For the frequency polygon- do you just plot and join??

    I presume you're all on about Linear? OP, you should specify that it's Linear, not Modular. Two exams were taken today for Maths with AQA.
