There was only one other answer because it said that a was positive :smile:

How many marks do you reckon you lose for stating the negative value as well? Hopefully only 1/6?
Did you get (1+root7)/3? Or something a long the lines of that

The worst C2 paper ever!!... after doing the whole past paper pack that my college provided and getting 60+/72 in all of the previous ones, I can honestly say that this was definitely the hardest C2 paper so far, and I don't know if got an A or not :/ .. predictions for grade boundaries?? I think an A will be quite low , but I'm worried Jan grade boundaries tend to be much higher :/ but this exam cant be anything higher than 55/72 for an A .. thoughts??..

I guess 1/6 as well. I made the same error. I doubt they would knock 2 off for an extra answer.

Oh well, unfortunately these things happen :smile:

I got something like (3x²+8x-2) I think, and solved it using the formula. Not too confident that I got the right answer though :/

I got that too...did you got 2 roots as well (excluding the given root)?

I should think so. Previous papers have even accepted the factor left as a quadratic (I think).

I left both negative and positive... almost crossed out the negative sign just as a sheer guess because they hardly ever take the negative one, but ended up leaving it. :tongue:

Yup I did. But reading what others got, seems like I was totally wrong :frown:

I doubt we're allowed to get the paper. For Chemistry, my teachers told me they can't give us the paper of even take images of it due to copyright and legal restrictions. Stupid policy, but I'm sure one of our teachers will allow us :tongue:

As I said I don't have a paper as my school closed due to snow today. If someone sends me a scan or photos from their photo I will sort it out.

This was the C2 paper from hell. I passed up 10 marks (final part of 9 due to time constraints and that 'find the other x value for this geometric progression' or whatever it was). I except grade boundaries to be extremely low, probably around 50 for an A.

agree with everything u said except your last point-no chance will grade boundaries drop to 50. 69% for an A? it was like that for a core 3 paper and that one was truely hard. I think 55 is the lowest they will go, and that being generous.
