how many marks would the direction be worth on the final question??

Just out of curiosity, if for example i am resolving forces perpendicular to the slope, would i lose marks if i don't denote the (arrow upwards) before doing my working?

Doubt you would, if you reached the answer whilst using F=ma you usually get all the marks

Thanks alot :smile:

also for the lift question if i put the arrow down and take the acceleration to be positive i would still get all the marks right?

I suppose you would, acceleration upwards -a acceleration downwards a, as long as u got the right answers u'll get full marks

There is not much point speculating about boundaries... try to put it out of your mind and wait and see. My money is on 63 for an A; although, I am rather surprised so many on here thought it was a tricky paper, so it could be a little lower.

Hi Arsey, I know this is a late post about this exam, but is it possible to tell me how the marks are going to be awarded for question 3. So how many A1, M1, B1 marks there will be for this question? Thanks

no marks for suvat or the lift question, this isn't looking good. Though I did manage to bag about 3 marks in the final part of the last question

Relieved I only lost 2 marks on the resolving question due to a sign error. Also I might get 1 mark for the last question hopefully if grade boundaries are low I can still get an A.

Happy they awarded the FT marks on the moments question! Probably 63/75 overall and I estimate the boundaries to be lower than usual for this paper..

For me it's 64/65 I think it'll be 60 for an A at least.

58/75 and I may have a chance at 90ums. Dropped 6 marks on suvat 3 marks on lift 1 mark on final q and 1 mark on bearings 75-(6+3+1+1)=64/75, though still I am not sure what I'll get for the motorbike q

I think 59 will be an A. 72/75 on Core 2 that's easily 90+ and already got 92 on Core 1 so really only need 60/100 ums on M1 for an A!!

I think 59 is far too low for an A, unfortunately. It was an OK paper. As much as I hope it is because I made stupid mistakes,...that's being a bit too optimistic.
