AQA A2 Mathematics MPC4 Core 4 - 9th June 2015 [Discussion & unofficial markscheme]

My back up uni needs an A* so yes I'm screwed

Would 71/75 (MPC3) and 62/75 (MPC4) be enough for 180 UMS?

oh really what uni and course if you don't mind me asking?

Dude!! What's Computing like at second year? I took it this year and really enjoyed it. I got an A* in my coursework but I'm not that great at coding to be honest, and just managed to push through by working super hard and fixing it little bits at a time.

Will this method work in the second year? Because I really want to take the subject, but I'm honestly one of weakest coders in my class (though I somehow stumbled to 30/30 on my project this year through talking with friends and reading stuff online...).

I took Further Maths, so we're doing Maths A-Level in one year.

Dude I wouldn't fret. We can't possibly speculate accurately enough to comfort you. I know it's tough because bath have put the grades up (which I think it's downright unfair during the exam season - what about the people who applied with AAB as the max they could achieve?).

I couldn't predict it. I hope it is enough though man. Your determination gets one from me anyway haha! Apart from anything, it would be great if you did get in - we could meet up on Freshers week!



You think 64/65 will be enough? I just desperately want an A*. I don't necessarily need it as such. It's just for the amount of effort I've put in this year.

Gutted how I did today but hoping C3 made up for it.

Yeah PHYA4 will be tough - join us on that thread dude

Please don't think we don't appreciate it - I certainly do!

If you don't mind, could I add them to the first post when you're done? I'll give credit obviously.

Bath for maths, where's your offer

Haha, how come? Because I mean, I'll probably end up re-sitting Core 3 next Summer if I don't get an A* this year, so eh!

Easily. So... congratulations, you have an A*!

Yes please do, the only one I'm struggling with is 6 (c) I can't seem to get the second lot of coordinates for E

Mine is Bath for chemistry but I've got an increased offer from AAB to A*AA with an A* in maths due to high competition this year thats why I'm worried i haven't achieved the A* i need! what about you? what'd you think you've got in core 3 and 4 and which accommodation have you applied for? what's your insurance choice then?

Less effort than typing the mark scheme in latex lol

Bath is my insurance choice A*AA so could apply for accomadation. And are they allowed to change offers once they have given you one?

On page 10 when you have gone to find c your power on the LHS has changed to -1/2 instead of 1/2. So based on your previous workings c would come out to be 5.
