Hey, Just wondering what those of you who did OCR P3 and M2 exams in July got seen as the papers were unusually harsh.

I got:
P3 - D (52/100)
M2 - A (88/100)


i got 100/100 in P3, and even though i knew i only lost 2marks out of 60 in the paper, it was a really hard paper and had to be scaled up by at least 10% or thereabouts.

all the papers i did this year were probably the hardest OCR has done for this new syllabus as well (P3, P4, M1), but that sometimes makes it easier because a lot of people would do badly so there would be ridiculous scaling

P3 - 100/100, but i loved the paper anyway and cant really think of any mark i'd have lost. everyone else i spoke to hated it. despite the scalings, most still got around 40 or 50

M2 - 82/100 - a low A, but im happy with it considering i only answerd 60% of the marks available on the paper.

another that i was surprised about was P5 - i got 90/100 even though i only answered half of the last two questions when my mind went blank!!

also M3, thought it was quite a nice paper but got 88 when i expected a little higher.

got 97 in M3, was secretly hoping for 100%, but don't give a damn because I'MSAGOINGTOCAMBRIDGE-WAHOOI. :smile:
M2- 60 - I was expecting lower because I messed up the exam so much! Definitely retaking in January.
P3- 100 - I think this must have been a hard paper as I didn't quite finish and I know I got a couple of answers wrong but still got full UMS.
I got 95/100 on the P3 and 100/100 on the M2 but i think this was more to do with the high UMS than any particular performance on my part!

Why did you retake p1 after getting 92 in it? Or can I safely assume you mean you got 89 in p2 :biggrin:.
