AQA GCSE/Level 2 qualification in Further Maths UNOFFICIAL MARK SCHEME

No I think it means just showing the limiting value. Here is an example question from a calculator paper

That's quite easy and nice, why couldn't they have put a question like that in the non-calculator exam?

These are some of the topics my teacher thought may come up as they weren't in the first one

• sequences - linear/quadratic/limiting value as n tends to infinity
• simultaneous equations - quadratic/circle
• factor theorem
• quadratic inequalities
• distance between 2 points
• equation of a circle
• circle theorems (maybe a slightly nicer question!!)
• solving trig. equations/trig. graphs
• matrix transformations
• Pythagoras' theorem/SOHCAHTOA
• 3D trigonometry
• sine & cosine rules/area of a triangle
• drawing a graph given the domains and the range (the opposite of the question in paper 1)
• show why sin(30) = 1/2 etc
• algebraic proof
• index laws

Somebody has forgotten the question on rearranging? Would someone be able to answer it for me? Thanks,

Anyone know if I'll still get marks for maths that I've scribbled out?

As long as they can read what is under the scribbles, then yes- if you went a bit mad, and scribbled it out until it resembled a black smudge, then no.

I set it on fire.

Ah, well, they'll definitely be able to read the cinders then

Yeah, I scribbled those out too.

5a) in the expansion of (x+2)(x^2+kx-3) the coefficient of x^2 is 0. Work out the value of k

6) no. Of red balls = 5x; no. Of blue balls = 2x
red decreased by 20%
blue increased by 30%
the difference now is 35 balls, work out the value of x

7) i dont remember it soz...but it was an identity i think
14) write in the form where w and k are integers

16) by factorising, simplify this fraction:

17) prove that

You are incorrigible! yet.... vaguely amusing... the exams really have taken a toll on me...

Pretty standard Paper 2 in my judgement. I Imagine A^ will be about 89/105 for that (same as last year), but probably about 53/70 for Paper 1.

Do you know the total marks needed for an A*?

Well last year it was 114/175 for an A* (46 in Paper 1, 68 in Paper 2).
I imagine it will a bit lower this year given how rigorous that Paper 1 was, probably about 111/175 for an A*.
