Mr M's Edexcel GCSE Linear 1MA0 Higher Tier Paper 2 Answers June 2013

Hello there,

I'm hoping I got around 130 marks,but the only thing which worried me is the fact that for an A in November it was 120 marks which I missed off by three marks and then in March the boundary for an A jumped 16 marks to 136 for an A.

Also there was a bit of a conundrum in the exam, I received a faulty paper, which edexcel said they would compensate me for. Do you know how many marks I will receive for this?

Thank you for your help

Really unlikely, I think you got a C, sorry

I think I got around 130-140, and that's marking myself pretty harshly. fingers crossed I'll be getting an A!

i did the November past paper and i thought that this one was easier than November. Just my opinion, who else agrees?

I got between 172-178 marks (depending on whether or not I get any method marks for questions which I got wrong) is this likely to be enough for an A*?

I'm surprised some are saying 70 marks or so is a C. The highest I have seen for C is 63 (March 2013) and the November 2012 was 46 and the June 2012 was only 52 marks...

70 seems way too high.

C OR A B IS no biggie, depending on how hard u've worked. What do u think would be an and A*

I don't know. I was retaking this exam as I got a D (on foundation) so I would take a C.

My grades could sneak up to a B if I'm lucky but they could also go down to a D if that makes sense lol.

I'm afraid silly mistakes may cost me. I.e. in the stem and leaf diagram, I forgot to include the units (i.e. 2/4 = 2.4kg) in the key so I'm worried this may cost me full marks on an easy question.

150/200 was an A* once, any chance of it happening again? what do u think?

the key is worth 1 mark, so if it was out of 3 marks you will get 2 (if the stem and leaf was in correct order)

Could someone explain how to do the last question? (I've been given this paper as revision for my modular exam)

x^2 + y^2 = 9
x + y = 2

Not even a full explanation just the basic idea of what to do cause I have no idea how to do this
