Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012That's a difficult question to answer.(Original post by Wall of sound)
While I'm happy everyone is receiving good results, this will only mean the boundaries will be extremely high right...?
This paper (Calc) was very easy (I got over 91 marks), but the non calc was ridiculously hard in comparison (I think I may have got as low as 65).
So I think they should even out, plus an extra drop in the boundary for this being the first year of 1MAO =]

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012Yeah i got double that. I got 222/380, is it right though???(Original post by humzaali123)
25 cant be 111/190. I remember clearly you had to do 12*11, 5*4 and 3*2 and thats all over 380 -

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012You can never really estimate but here is where I'm getting my data fromhttp://www.edexcel.com/iwantto/I%20w...Boundaries.pdf(Original post by Wall of sound)
So you're estimating a C grade would be 25 from both papers? Hmm... seems a bit low. -

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012What would you estimate for a C grade then? Taking into consideration the difficulty of the first paper and the first year of this type of paper.(Original post by Cnut)

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012Wow... so it is unlikely it will go higher than 56 surely.(Original post by king0617)

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012I think it would be very harsh if they did put it up more than 56(Original post by Wall of sound)

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012I also did this but your forgetting to minus 1 from the denominator, considering there is one less Chocolate you would have 20 x 19 as denominator.(Original post by humzaali123)
25 cant be 111/190. I remember clearly you had to do 12*11, 5*4 and 3*2 and thats all over 380
Then the answer would cancel to The one stated. -

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012i think you'd get the marks, in probability you're never meant to cancel down unless it tells you to(Original post by QPRboy)

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012Well, based on the fact everyone found the first paper hard and the second easy, I have no clue what the grade boundaries will be so I have calculated the mean average marks needed for grades A* to C from June 2009.(Original post by rumenaislam)
How many marks do you think you need altogether for an A?
A*=168
A =132
B =96
C =60
Hope this is useful! -

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012Those grade boundaries are really quite high. I hope there not that bad!(Original post by Love-Life)

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012I got to "222/380". That fraction, cancelled, is "111/190" - which is as low as it can go (with the numerator still being an integer).(Original post by humzaali123)

Usually, mark schemes say "oe" ("or equivalent"), meaning 111/190 = 222/380.
But that's the old way!
Good luck either way!

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012People will i still get Marks for these errors
Question 13)- I got 28.25 however i thought it would be 28.15, as 25/100 = 1/4 so 1/4 of 60 = 15?
28.25 is still on the page so how many marks?
Question 23b) i had the answer of 21 with working out but i thought it was wrong
so i changed it to 48 with the Original working out, will i still gain 1 mark?
Question 25) - i did the first step of the working out so 12/20 x 11/20 and so on then itook it away from 1 to get the
answer however i forgot to times 20 and 19 for the denominator. How many marks would i get? -

Re: Mr M’s Edexcel GCSE Mathematics A Higher Linear Paper 2 Answers June 2012For the difficulty of the non-calc, the fact that this is the first year, and from previous experience; it should not exceed 50 marks =](Original post by Wall of sound)
What would you estimate for a C grade then? Taking into consideration the difficulty of the first paper and the first year of this type of paper.
