I felt it was slightly harder than paper 2 but easier than paper 1. There were a number of questions that were written in a way to catch people out, just hope I read them all properly 😬

Found this to be the hardest paper of all 3. Here’s hoping I’ve done enough to pass.

What did people get for the hcf, lcm and the volcano questions?

The volcano question - I can't remember the values but I x 60 the flow to per minute, then x 60 to per hour, then x 24 to per day and divided the total lava by the 24 hour value

The HCF I put 147
LCM I put 3 but I know that's wrong, just had a brain fade

I also multiplied for the volcano.

I think I got 64 days! Out of the 3 papers I’d say paper 1 was slightly harder than the other 2. Not much between the calculator papers tbh.

What did everyone get for the transformation question? I put rotated around the vector (0 0) but forgot to put a direction 🤦🏻*♂️

the hcf was 63 because u only multiply the middle numbers from the circle and the lcm was 15876 because u multiply all the numbers together

Was really good, didn't get an answer for the volcano one, but got 2.5 per cent for interest rate one which teacher said is right 👍

At the time vectors went right out of my head so I put something along the lines of shape a moved x cm along y axis and -y cm along x axis with a rotation of 90⁰ Anticlockwise
