tbh i think time was enough,LOL i had to redo one question coz i did in radians instead of degrees
I actually had to redo the sector and 2 triangles question because I worked out the wrong angle and used it in the equation, cost me at least 5 minutes
Original post by BabzY

No worries man
only 5 marks for the whole questionOriginal post by Emah

Length of line OQ = square root of (6root5 squared + 4 squared), which equals 14, OQ goes across x 11 and up y K, using Pythagoras K = 5root3. Not sure what question 9 part 2 is however, I didn't have time to complete all the questions 
The exams over, and it's the invigilators fault for letting them use mobiles to find this website

You squared 6root5 wrong, you did 6x root5squared getting 30 instead of 180

Well...I think that was my worst exam yet!

All I have to say is what kind of exam board makes on question worth almost 20% of the entire paper?
Followed by callously placing it at the end of a paper.
I did well with most of the paper, had around 45 mins left when I reached question 7, the second part of it tripped me up, I didn't rearrange, how much was it worth?
Solved 8 with little difficulty, then came 9, which wasn't too bad but by the time I had hit 9 I wasn't thinking straight because of how long I had spent on 7, 9 was worth 5 marks in total >.>.
30 mins left, so I take a look at question ten, lol misread, that didn't say 14marks, dw dw, OH SH.. it did.
Stress overwhelms I'm trying to do a 14 mark questions, it's worth three times as much as question 9 lolwtf??
Then they expect me to read a small book about oddly shaped boxes before I begin to answer.

It was not a hard question, I am certain I have 80% of the marks, Trapezium surface area = 9600cm^2 , length y = 320/x^2 just by basic dvision of the surface area, surface area is just adding the area of all 6 sides which is just (9+6+5+4)x y + 60x^2 , then differentiate it to get minium for x, then diff it again to get +ve gradient, making it a minimum

What was the answer to the area of the whole shape?
I got 38.9, as did a lot of others

6root 5 squared = 36 x 5 = 180, It's not 30?

My prediction:
Core 1 - A
Core 2 - U
Statistics - A
I'm guessing I'm retaking core two next year... That's goodbye to medicine school!

From a couple of days ago:

"It’s really simple: once your exam has finished, you can come onto TSR and talk about the detail of it straight away. Previously, we had a rule in place that prevented you from discussing the specifics of certain exams until a set amount of time had passed. We think TSR can be much more helpful than that, and so that rule has now gone."
But no detailed mark schemes allowed until midnight.

Lol.... yes internet yes.

There was an announcement saying the rules have changed. We can discuss the exam but we can't post model answers until midnight.
I got banned on another thread because I asked someone to explain how to answer a question. So im assuming if u explain how to do any question before midnight/stating answers then u can get banned.
