For the six numbers question they could have been 7, 9, 9, 11, 11, 11 as well, I hope.


Yes, that's right (7,(8/9),9,11,11,11).
Enough non calculator guys! We need to look at topics for the calculator paper...what do we reckon on certain topics to go over??

For the calculator I have a feeling angles, pie chart, pythagorus, volume and radius/diameter will come up. I'my not sure, so just revising everything. On the bright side, at least the exam is in the afternoon so we can get extra revision done in hither morning :smile:

Same here, seriously everything I wanted to come up came up haha. I really liked the paper of I'm honest, compared to the a November 2014 it was heaven LOL! Did you do foundation or higher? I'm just worried that now calculator paper will be harder but I don't think the grades boundaries will be lowered. Although, that depends on the calculator paper as well.

If you look, nationally, you will find that actually the paper was a little on the challenging side for some. If the A* boundary is around 146, we only need 84/105 for an A* :smile:

On the inequality 'graph' question, did you have to shade out the unnecessary sections or do you still get full marks by drawing the lines?

Okay, I think the mark scheme is pretty much fully correct now.
Good luck for calculator on Thursday, and if an n2-n-90 = 0 question comes up we'll know how to answer it!

had i not been so nervous I think I could have got 10 more marks. Being relaxed really helps, I might have some chamomile tea before Thursdays exam.
What was the 27/5 question?
