What did people get for the bus time? 8:40? and was the sequence question 52-6n? and for the question about mean of 18 did you get 19?

I got those same answers.... Shame about the rest of it tho :frown:

Let's all just think positive, and let's try our best on the calculator paper, who knows that might be easier as this paper was quite hard?

That's why :smile:

What's Edexcel then? Another step after AQA?

No I don't think so, its just a different exam board that the school chooses, most schools around my area are doing maths on the Edexcel exam board

It probs will be 49-50+ A* 38-48 A, 28-37 B and then for a C 18-27

Couldn't be that low! Looking at the grade boundries for the last 3 years
Non calc:
70-54 A*, 53-42 A, 41-30 B, 29-18 C
Calc:
85+ A*, 83-64 A, 63-46 B, 45-27 C
Again, just based off previous grade boundries, wish you all the best! :smile:

For all who feel a bid down about todays exam, do not worry,

2nd paper has much more marks to get, so overall you might end up with some good results! 1 week to go, spend some time on revision. Don't know something? Google it, or use youtube.

Good luck!

Yeah I got that for angle y! Woo, finally at least something right (lol)! I put something stupid there, I don't even remember. That one confused the **** outta me.

At my school, everyone who came out of the exam had mixed reactions: some found it difficult and others found it easy. I don't think the grade boundaries will change that much.

Personally I thought it wasn't too bad although it could have been better, I'll probably get between 48-53

I was hoping for A* too having worked hard and getting the grades on past papers... Unless I can rectify this with paper 2 in looking at a B :frown:
