How high do you think an A will be ?

It's all speculation. It was a very fair paper. You will not be far off and hopefully you will sneak in. It is surprising how marks add up in questions when you show working but do not get the final answer hence I would hope you will sneak a few more marks. Accept that you will get a B and if you get the A, you will feel great.

Good luck with all your grades !!
how many marks do I have to get to get an A grade for overall both papers out of 200.

70+ would be an comfortable A. I suppose it depends on your examiner, the whole point of that question was to mention bias and how it's a small sample as he is only asking his friends when he needs to ask people from all ages and backgrounds.

70 on both papers combined would be a C not an A
do they add the marks of both papers together and then work out the ums or add the ums together?

There is no ums in linear qualifications.
They add your raw marks together from the two papers and compare your total to the grade boundaries that they have decided in order to work out your grade.

Yes that is correct. I was implying 70 on each paper which would total to 140.
I think I got 70 in paper 1 and 90 in paper 2... Would that be an A?

Definitely an A, and it could be an A* depending on the grade boundaries. Good luck!

Probably an A but not definitely. You'll have to wait and see on results day.

Hopefully an A*! Thank you :smile:
Do you get a mark if you went clockwise by mistake in question 3.

That's really close to the A/A* border. If I was to take a guess, it would be an A, as last years paper was harder so the boundaries are likely to go up. However you're so close to the border that you can't know for sure until you get your results. Good luck!
Do you get a mark if you went clockwise by mistake in question 3 & if you use a correct formula but get the wrong answer?
Guys I got 59 in paper 1 and 74 in paper 2 Wat grade is this ?

Either a super super high B or a very very low A! Hopefully you scrape into that A grade!!

I think you'll get all the marks for question 3 except for one if you've done the rest correctly? And yup you'll get marks for the correct formula but not the answer mark :smile:
