We're all in the afternoon, I'm pretty sure.

Linear starts for us at 1:30

No, it'll all be this afternoon.

Besides, don't be so daft! If you ask too many questions, they'll start blaming TSR for exam success, and we'll have to retake the exams! :eek:

Besides, OCR are already looking into alleged "cheating" on this site in Science practicals (BS methinks)...:ninja:

If I were you, I'd revise areas and volumes, and trig. Anything that uses a calculator and you couldn't do on the non-calculator. That might include the quadratic formula too.

How much is coursework? 25%? And what's the grade boundary (overall) for a B?

Im with AQA modular maths, Coursework is 20% (2 pieces worth 10% each), and grade boundary for a B is 70% UMS (roughly). It's high but with UMS you can get 80% of the avaliable marks in the exam and get 100% UMS...

Good luck with that for this afternoon then! I've already done mine, so no pressure for me! :p:

*For clarity, I mean I've finished the GCSE. I haven't done today's paper before you guys - don't shop me :s-smilie:

Thanks :-) You've finished the GCSE? Have you got the result yet, or do you get it in August with the other results (if you're doing the others now)?

Nah, I did it a while ago, but I'm doing some others now. If you want to know more, I can tell you, but I'll wait until after the exam - I don't want to reduce the morale of the troops! :smile:

OK, I'll put it in a spoiler:

Umm, i think I did alright. Don't want to to say anything just incase! It was better then the non-calculator paper so that's a relief. I'm positive I won't be getting an A* tho! lol
