EDEXCEL MAY 2013 M1 PAPER - End of Humanity

Lol I did that question like 4 times im like wait will come to me I ended up with like 3 unknowns...
And I dont think you were suppose to model i the babies as two separate particles it said when he moves or something IDK..

Conditional moments had never came up before that is why it was a surprise, it was also quite hard to grab two equations to find the mass and distance x meters, I thought it was a fair question though, you just had to read between the lines and do some experimenting

Why haven't I see this thread before !! Finally some people i can sympathise with !!! I did all the past papers and alot of revision and then to be treated with this paper from hell !! I think ive thrown my A level in maths down the drain !!!! Completely ****ED it !!

THANK YOU!
What's wrong with people these days, some actually say the paper was a breeze. **** it.

GG Maths A level hahaha, ohwell maybe S1 next year? I HOPE X)

A BREEEZE?!?! A BREEEEZZEEEE?!?!?

The only thing that was breezy was the stupid wind flying through the bloody window that they left open in the freezing exam hall.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL hahahaha!!

That was funny...


But why the **** do they always leave the door open, and I'm ALWAYS the one to sit at the damn door ¬¬

Yep, I've been getting over 95% in timed past papers/mocks and then this exam comes along and it feels like it's completely misrepresented how well I should've done in the exam.

It makes me really angry, feels like all of the revision was wasted because all of the questions seemed to have a 'twist' to the normal style. Maybe somebody else wrote this paper, as I usually recognise the different scenarios in the questions that are common to all the papers. With this one, I didn't recognise how to work towards the solutions.

Hopefully the grade boundaries will go down, I've spoken to about 10 other people and they've all said the same thing!

Thats what i thought too, this paper required much more thinking compared to past m1 papers, i left out 27 marks, hoping to now get at least 40-45, c?

Don't worry! It's over now. Just hope boundaries favour us this year!

How right you are guys D:

Tbh compared to S1 I'm expecting a lower boundary than usual, about 75% of TSR found the exam hard, perhaps if were lucky 56/75 for an A?

moments question ****s me off the most, seeing as i can see by the diagrams i did it right. how the **** did i get 20.8 kg for the rod then! ****ty little mistakes piss me off!and you dont get follow through marks in m1 (or hardly ever) so its goodbye to a load of marks! out of 4 exams all on last monday, mechanics had to be last didnt it!
