the lowest its ever been was A-55 B-47 C-39.


Could they possibly go lower? I swear, maths seems to be getting harder every year since 2013- I'm now getting a little scared. If this was the actual paper, imagine the resit papers. I underestimated maths big time.

lol yeah for Vn+2 it was k,2k,3k,4k,5k
The Un+2 all of them were 4

So for the sum of the first 20 terms I got 20*4=80


lol. I felt like an idiot because its as maths so I was like, no way is this going to be that easy lol.
What did everyone get for question 1??
1a was 20, don't remember what 1b was
I can't even remember what the questions were? I always forget when I go out.

She reached her maximum salary of £32,000 in year 11. She works for 20 years.

I did:

[Sum to 11 of the arithmetic series] + 9 x £32,000 which gave around £575,000


Yeah I got the same!!

and for the simultaneous were they both surdy

Really? One of my friends got that too, but I got integers :/
Nobody expected it to be easy but you must understand that this paper was definitely ALOT harder and completely different to the previous papers. I was able to spot patterns in all the previous past papers but this paper was totally, totally different.
For simultaneous equations i got X to be -1/2 and -4

"Spot the pattern" that's where you went wrong.
