Edexcel A2 C3 Mathematics 12th June 2015

Scroll to see replies

Every single damn year people on TSR and other kiddies say it was 'the hardest paper ever' and making petitions etc.

Yes you may have found it hard but obviously maths is a hard subject and only the top students get the top grades, I myself have probably missed out on the A* that I want but I'm not complaining that the paper was too hard I just wasn't prepared enough.

Well no, I think you'll find most years there is only a minority of people saying the exam was difficult, whereas this year it is the majority.

68 HAS NEVER BEEN 100 UMS!

yea did you not state the range ?

No, I was just confused by the question, I suppose I'd have to substitute those x-values back into the original function? As long as I got a couple marks on it I'm fine, just need an A.

That was very hard. Ignore all the trolls, don't take the bait. There's also no point trying to predict the grade boundaries as it is impossible to get an accurate estimate.

Realistic Grade Boundaries:

68 - 100UMS

64 - 90UMS

57 - 80UMS

Are u dizzy by this logic you can skip questions and get 100ums. More like 74 is 100ums and 68 for an A*

How did people get just a positive answer for Qb? (1/root(p^2 + 1))

It depends on the value of p, sometimes costheta will be negative, sometimes it will be positive surely...I put a plus or minus

Well... there is definitely not NO asymptote for the second graph because the x-axis (y=0) is an asymptote due to the modulus.

It's not, because the mod graph touches the x-axis i.e. y CAN equal 0.

By that logic, y=-1, -2, -3, -4 etc should also be asymptotes since the graph never touches them
