We can talk about it now...discuss ;]

I, myself, thought that it was the best possible exam that I could have had - definitely will boost my other grade, which I expect to be 80-85 ;[

In this paper, however, I reckon I've got mid-90s

How about you guys?

What;s the answers?

easiest paper

I think I got 100%

what did everyone get for the last question ( standard form), and the cos 60+sin60 question?

ye i thought it was quite easyy.

i only know of one mistake i made.. for the big fraction on the second to last question i got :
x^2 = 2.

i put x = square root or 2..but it's also minus square route of 2 :frown:

other than that, it went really well :teeth:

a) x + y/10

b) 7.5

c) n - m -1

:yep:

That's right, but i didn't simplify a) enough ;[
I put (10x+y)/10 ;[

Guys this means that the grade boundaries this year will be really high....

And I'm still wondering if it is 0.75 or 7.5 because the question was about the value of (a). I don't recall whether the question actually asked about (a) in standard form or w/e so yeah.

what did you guys get for the histogram question? I got 4 (as i divided 8 by 2 for frequency density), but i think the answer may be 8 :frown:

histogram Q.
(a)8
(b)9
{if i can remember correctly)
did you get -1/2x-2y for the vector question

How high can the grade boundaries really be? Taking into account that the highest that A* has been was '84%' according to a member of tsr. Is this true?

I think the highest boundary ever was indeed 84%, yes - that's what it was in November 2006 & May 2007 (I don't have any data more recent than that).

Realistically I'd say the highest it'll ever get is 86% maximum - these may be the useless new GCSEs, but even then they wouldn't send out a paper that was any easier than that. The fact is that a lot of people at my school really did struggle quite a lot, not everyone found it very easy, so hopefully it'll only be another 84% or lower.

Did they even say standard form? I got it wrong it it did, I think I failed

a was 7.5, not 0.75 because the paper already said they were in standard form and, more obviously, more than 1 and less than 10. That's why you had to take 1 off on the final part of that question, because 0.75 = 7.5 x 10^-1

for for the last question (a)
I got
x.y
would I get the marks? it made sense at the time, as I remember it saying simplify as much as possible! although I can't remember if the question said write an equation - if it did then obviously I wouldn't get the mark!

Yeah i wrote that first, then as soon as the teacher said, 'stop writing' - I suddenly realised that it was x+10/y...Sorry but I don't think you'll get the mark as it did ask for the equation...You may get one mark though for working and showing you had the right idea.

ah ok. hopefully i'll get one mark!
i really think I missed up a lot on that paper :frown:

even though I can see now it was actually a really good paper...just my silly mistakes!

Anyone got the answers to this ?

On the back page answer was instandard form so would be 7.5

Apparently the question which I got the answer of x=+-square 2 is wrong as the answer had to be given in 3 significant figures (no sign)
