For the last question, instead of directly putting A into B from the triangle on the formula, I labelled the triangle A B C in a clockwise direction. So then when I put in the values in the formulas, I put B (in the formula) as C (in the triangle) and C(in the formula) as B(in the triangle). Is this the correct thing to do?

Thanks

I think the last question will be a range because it depended when you rounded.
I got 80.1

You're always supposed to leave rounding until the end so I'm not sure there will be. Maybe though.

Does anybody know what the grade boundaries were last year? I'm really worried i want an A but not sure if I'll get one. The calc paper let me down.

There were very low, you should compare to June 2014 more. I think our papers were easier than June 2014 (and 2015) so it will be higher than June 2014

June 2015 (lowest grade boundaries ever for A / A*)
A* - 155
A - 125
B - 95
C - 65

June 2014
A* - 164
A - 133
B - 95
C - 57

I think our exam will be like

A* : 165 - 168
A : 135 - 140 (if you got 140 then it's guaranteed 140, the highest I seen for A is 141 or 143 but that's in a november or march resit paper, not june)
B : 95 - 105
C : 60 - 65

But honestly, it might be lower if we are lucky, and I hope it is lower, like 160-165 for A* and 130-135 for A lol.

They wont mark you down for re-labeling as long as you found the angle for the one they were asking for. Many use this method, i do sometimes when rearranging can be just skipped by the re-labelling
