Can anyone create a list of the exam questions, so we can pre mark it?

That was a fairly good paper. Several challenging questions, but overall not bad. Hope everyone did well.

Not as bad as I imagined it would be.

Now my brain is going in circles thinking it put all the wrong answers!

I panicked half way through the paper, over thought some questions. Had enough time at the end thank god to go back and change the stupid mistakes I had made. Bring on paper 3. Can’t make up my mind if it will be like the last two or horrific? No trig questions yet. That has to make an appearance l?

Does anyone know the answer to the questions?

The one that said something along the lines of: Someone drives a set distance for 1 hr 45 mins how far did they travel?
The question about putting packets in boxes?

Yes 98 because it multiply by 1.75
(1 & 3/4 hrs)

From memory it was 150000x1.04 (4%) to the power of 2 and 160000 times 1.015 (1.5%) times 10 to the power of 2. Rachel’s house was just over £4000 higher in value.

The packets in boxes…convert the cm into mm to ensure all measurements are the same.

Then divide the length of the big box by the length of the small packet. Divide the height of the big box by the height of the small packet. Divide the depth of the depth of the big box by the depth of the small packet.

I then multiplied the answers together (volume = l x h x w) which was just over 800 I think? It feels miles off though!!

Yh i wrote the answer to that on my wrist and i got 864 but i also thought i was too far off

yesss that's should be right, I did remember doing all the correct working out for the question. I did check and some people did get the same answer as me. What about the Seats in Cinema C question. I put 540

I added the 2 existing numbers together from a&b, , got to 1100 (?) somehow 😂then divided by 3, and yes, it was either 540 or 580, something like that! 👍

Yeah i had some time left at the end so i did trial and error which took em about 5 mins and i did check it with the number given in the question and it worked out.
