this paper was harder than Jan 2013 and the A grade was 59 for an A so less than that
I agree that Jan 2013 was easier, when we had a mock the only challenging question was the last one the rest was the same old usual stuff, i just hope they're low for this paper

I would cry.
Nooooooo it was the hardest paper i've ever come across in the entire past papers i did. Imagine things like Syy Sxx that never came up (like this) that's so confusing.. ?
man I hope they're generous this time and will allow both answers -__-
they tell us to leave answers to 3 s.f. so dammit they better not be pedantic.
If they don't then I know for sure I've lost at least 4-5 marks.
They will almost certainly penalise 0.6....
usually... B2 0.46-0.47 (B1) 0.4-0.8 or something like that... unless you are nearly spot on, you will lose a mark
as for 3sf... they usually condone >3sf, BUT, they will not accept 2sf or less.. unless the answer was exact.. like 0.14.. or sometimes, the third sf was a 0

I reckon they will as well. The worse thing was that I was considering putting the unrounded figure into my calculations but since I had deleted it from my calculator, I was like: "nah, it probably won't make a difference."
OMG, are you talking about edexcel? the venn diagram was freaky!! but i can't remember any questions with jewellery, dave or bowling!! Ohhh and for the 1st Q, shh was -22400?? something like that?
No this isn't edexcel,and yes the shh was -22400 something like that,I'll try making a thread for edexcel.
i'm really frustrated at myself! i totally forgot how to find the z value using the tables in question 2b! i still used the right formula though, just with the wrong z value so does anyone think i'll get at least a method mark?

I think ECF ( Error Carried Forward ) may apply.
Edit : AQA may give you marks for ECF, only 1 mark off for incorrect answer ; but then again it is strict marking these days.

I would love grade boundaries like this. This paper was much different compared to past papers. I think I bagged about 45 marks for definate, the difference of the paper compared to past papers resulted in about 10 marks extra lost for me.
