It’s quite tough to say but I felt it was quite a challenging paper, much more difficult than in June 2012 when 49 was required for a grade A. previous A grade boundaries were 44, 46, 45, 39. 37

Thanks, need every mark I can get by the looks of things! Re took for an A* from an A, never going to happen with that test! My guess is I got roughly a minimum of 45 :frown:

But no more than 50, what do you think that could be grade wise?

Mr M another question because I saw someone say they had 53.5 marks, would I get anything for the indice question if I left it as cube root symbol 64?

Oh God I am such a dumbass...
Mr M would I still get the marks if I did 2x3x3x3 for the prime factors question?

Oh yes I also messed up the triangular prism Q by forgetting to divide by 2...
Would I get marks for getting 2x^3+20x^2

Also, I got y= - 1/2 x +4 for the equation of a line Q.
Would I get marks for working out the gradient correctly?

Hi Mr M,
For question 9 (Octagon) I got 360/8=45 45/2 = 21.5 180 - 21.5 = 157.5 (How many marks would i get for working out?
for question 15 (Circle theorem) I just wrote down, Tangent from lines make right angles, isosceles triangle , triangle = 180 degrees. (How many marks would i get for working out - Proving)
for the last question, I did everything right however i accidently wrote "41" root 31 / 31 (how many marks would i get?
And lastly for the electricity question, I found 100 units = 25 pounds, then 900 - 100 = 800 and then i found 400 units = 55 pounds and times that by 2 and added it to 25 = 135 (How many marks would be awarded for working out
Thank you so much

Does anybody have the unofficial mark scheme for AQA Unit 2 Maths which was taken on November 8th?

Same goes for the triangular prism question - I ended up adding the area of the sides, rather than working out the volume... Would I get any marks?

Sorry I haven't got a clue how marking works... :/

1 mark if you are lucky.

It is not possible to award 0.5 marks.

I'm sorry but I can't remember the questions now. I threw my working away at the weekend.

You would get some credit for the prism and the equation of the line.
