How the hell did you get hold of the paper?
I expect to get 72, hopefully an A* with some margin to accommodate for any mistakes in other modules.

how many marks do you think i'll lose since i screwed up the first question where we had to find the distance i think i integrated with limits 3 and 0 and for another question i think only 2 marks i found the wrong angle but i stated the other angle as well.

so i think i got maybe like 60-65 marks for d1, about 73 for m1 , 75 for fp3, 72 for m2, 91 ums fp1, 70ish for fp2 i think. would this be an a*

Most certainly

Can someone provide me some insight to what UMS i may have

c3 - 73/75
c4 - 74/75
m2 - 64/75
fp2 - 67/75
fp3 - 75/75
s3 - 70/75

What happens if the method I used isn't on there?

Yup. That someone is the Edexcel examiner once Edexcel is done marking all the papers.

I just wanted an approximate guess lol

Well its certainly an A* in maths, and very likely an A* in Further Maths too. That's all I can guess.

Oh ok - i can live with that considering i have 98 in s2 already (further maths)
Hope my predictions dont differ too much from the real thing...

For 5a I did M(B) correctly and then resolved horizontally and vertically correctly. I found the correct expression for F but I found R with an F term in it. If I sub F into it it turns out correct but I forgot to do that in the exam. On the mark scheme it has 2 methods but my method isn't on there. I didn't resolve in parallel to the rod like it says in 5a alt where they do moments about B. I did eliminate P from the equations. Surely I can't lose 5 marks because of this. How many marks do you think I would lose? I'm worried cos I didn't do as well as I had hoped on FP2.

If it was a matter of substituting something then at max you'd lose 2 imo. And even if your method isn't there, so long as its clear what you've done (and correct, no made up maths etc), then you'll be awarded
