Mega A Level Maths Thread MK II

I thought you said you made some error with some y-coordinate thingy congrats on the 75/75 if you did get it, though

Yh that was on C1 which was why I ended up with 98 , and thanks.

Oh welcome to the 100 in C2 crew, in that case

66 OUT OF 75 FOR AN A thanks guyz

YOU HAVE HAD 22 EXAMS WHAT ARE YOU DOING LIKE 15 ALEVELS thats not healthy man !!

66 OUT OF 75 FOR AN A thanks guyz

I'm think I may have accidentally stated that data is positively skewed because mean>median, when the two parameters I calculated were mode and mean... hopefully not. Or maybe the examiner won't notice

You'll be fine

How did the exam go for you? You checked Arsey's solutions?

I always stick to my promise mate. Can't believe I did n-1 for the sum of the first 15 terms, otherwise it would have been a full mark blowout.

Gratz on the 75/75. Feels great eh?

When mode is greater than mean its still positive! when the mean<median<mode= negative skew
which obv means positive = mean>median>mode you may get the mark!

You mean 66/75 for 80 UMS? That's pretty unlikely, it wasn't even that high in Jan.

But youre all getting in the 70s oOoOOo

I didn't do the paper myself (did C2 in Jan), but it's normal for lots of people on TSR to get high raw marks.

Ask your friends at school to get a idea of how it was for most people.

Regarding C2, I reckon the A boundary will be 60/61. It was definitely harder than Jan '13 and had a couple of questions that might have thrown people a bit (inc. the last trig one after it didn't factorise) so I wouldn't expect it to be above 62 for 80 UMS. There was a mixed reaction at my sixth form; some were expecting full raw marks, others were crying afterwards, and then some were reasonably pleased although a tad annoyed such as myself

I think it was good thank you! just did lots of silly mistakes but still managed 64/75 Gonna work out all 3 results again tomorrow and check if I have an A

I think 62/63 will be an A

That's still awesome, you'll be fine, come results day

fingers crossed for you!

You were re-taking C3 as well, right? Are you even going to bother with that now?
