Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics 4MA0 4H - 4th June 2015

OP

I think I'll also try to speed up a bit on this paper, as I spent waaay too long on easy questions and checking them, even though I got them right. I'll probably get through the easy questions as fast as possible and then focus on the tough ones for 4H.

Haha nice to see you too! 😋 I'm thinking a more difficult simultaneous equation might come up...possibly one with squares in?!(I've forgotten the method name!) and you see for me, I think I was really careless with 3H so I didn't check some of the middle ones like the bounds question, spent ages on the ones I couldn't do at all and then this time was wasted- like for the functions fraction question I spent about 15 minutes just typing random numbers into a calculator and seeing if they worked and they didn't! 😑

I am terrified for Maths, but hopefully it won't be too bad D: I'm praying that the simultaneous equation will be a somewhat easy one as I find them so difficult ;_;

Also thanks for the topic list thing, we haven't been given anything to revise off... it sucks :frown:

Also this may seem like a really dumb question but what do you mean by 3H and 4H?
Sorry if this is stupid... ^-^

I can't remember what the function was but it was horrible. It wasn't even a normal, friendly quadratic. I still came up with something somehow.

Maybe 1 linear, 1 quadratic is what you were thinking of. That could come up tbh as one of the last few for 6 marks.

And probably very few questions on converting stuff, possibly no questions at all on conversion altogether. They had like several (maybe too many) questions on that. Rupees, Queen Mary, etc. xD

3H was the first paper we had (21st May 2015) and 4H is the next paper. I don't know why they don't just call it "Paper 1" and "Paper 2", but essentially 4H = Paper 2. :smile:

Everyone saying boundaries will be lower

2 things:
1. Wait for the next paper before making a judgement (boundaries are decided over both)
2. 3H wasn't that difficult to the point where A* will be lower than 75% at best.

Just to let you know in June 2014 for the 3HR and 4HR the A* boundary was 74

If the 4H is as hard as 3H I think it's safe to say the boundary will be less than 80
