Arsey, for 5c, I left the numerator as -(3x-2) as oppose to 2-3x. Do you think I'll lose a mark for this? Thank you

Anyone got any rough grade boundary predictions? Remember this is Edexcel, despite this being a really tough paper, edxcel being edexcel might not even alter grade boundaries that much :|HATE EDEXCEL!!!!!

would stating 21/25 and -(21/25) anywhere for 8b give the 1 mark?

Thank you for these! Thought I recognised them...

The general consensus of the people after the exam was that the paper was 'an absolute bloodbath'. Will just have to crack on with Core 4!

Yeah I noticed a while ago and made that point in my paper analysis.

What did you think of the paper?

I love what you have written :smile:

I did the paper and really enjoyed myself as a teacher doing it but appreciate many students would not like it.
I didnt have the pressure of the uni place or the exam hall but I thought there were 25 easy marks and then a whole host of problems that were 'last question' style ones.
I was going for 53/54 for 80 UMS.
The last question was a good substitute for nytol and the question eventually asked (or questions) were ok if the fluff was removed.
The functions one was a nice question to do as an extension task in school but not as what originally looked like a bobbins gimme question!

I liken it to the M1 January 2009 paper.
"One students won't want as a past paper to do in future years" :smile:

Thanks once again for the post!

Hi arsey, why would this mean that c4 is going to be nicer? :s thanks for the upload :smile:

it is often the case; one good, one nice. Usually, C3 good, C4 horrible mind.

C4 could be an absolute beast

Definetely dropped around 20... best case scenerio 54/75.. worst case 46.

Such a shame since I was getting high 60s in practice papers.

Any guesses on what 54/75 will be UMS wise.. I needed 85 for an A.. any hope of this.. or shall I just give up on c4.

Wow this is the worst I've ever done in a maths paper (worser than D1 even)

I was really gutted in January I screwed up and was left with a low B.... but today I feel ever so grateful.

But will have to get really high in C4 now :frown:

This paper was hard but I'm disappointed with all the crying about Edexcel not doing their job properly...The fact that it was unfamiliar made it so that people cant just remember mark schemes..

Did better than I thought as probably most people might find. Thoroughly honestly, I lost 12 marks. Would anything rising above the 60+ surface warrant an A* anybody, or do you think less?
