sooo, how did everyone find it??

That was probably the first Maths a level exam module I've done where I've come across a question which I just couldn't do and didn't know how to do.

Probably, 60-70ums, if that, you?

Too easy, finished it in about 45 mins, and decided to ask for some paper to bang out some fp3 integrations. D2 was much more challenging.

worried about how many marks I might lose on the last question.


I did everything else right I think, getting for the y position: original y(3/5 or 4/5 something, cant remember now) + 7/10(root something) - gt^2 rather than
-1/2gt^2.
Used the SUVAT equations wrong (*facedeck*), got confused and used s=((U+V)/2)t + 1/2at^2 rather than just s=((U+V)/2)T.
Realistically how many marks do you think I will lose for that mistake? Hoping not more than 2.



The show that question was a bit weird and I think designed to throw people off, got the 60 degrees and correct radial speed right in the end though.


Also very first question what did people for mu? I got something like 0.167, was worried about that one as I was unsure about using F=UR with R=MG correctly

Are you being sarcastic or what

People, can you hazard a guess at grade boundaries? I know it's kinda pointless but hey.

I'd say
55- 80 UMS
62- 90 UMS
69- 100 UMS

but i'm not too sure

Lol dude what a coincidence, I didn't finish in 45, finished in 1hr 8 mins but i was doing fp3 integration too.

OT: really easy paper, easier than all the other, 75/75 for sure.

for the first question was did it give 35 rev per minute? Im very scared that i read the question wrong

Really easy paper:

I'd say:

68 - 80 UMS
72 - 90 UMS
75 - 100 UMS
