Edexcel A2 C3 Mathematics 12th June 2015

Combined 180UMS in both papers, so an average of 90 over each. I.e. You can get 80 in one paper and 100 UMS in the other and still come out with an A*.

There is no requirement for the 3rd A2 module besides having the 80% average overall.

I wanted a hard M3. Made too many mistakes in the easy one. Weird.

I found the Mechanics I have done so far to be harder than the Statistics(I was OK with S3 it was tough but I managed the hard questions I think) I did not like M3(the last question was horrible so little time and edexcel didn't clearly state what the angle was I was so confused and calculated things with a wrong angle edexcel please draw diagrams in future for Mechanics) or M5 but M5 was always going to be tough, mainly the Moments of Inertia the other questions where Ok.

I didn't think C3 was too bad fortunately due to people finding it hard I might get away with my silly errors on an easy question that might cost be a score in the high 90s(putting in cospi as -pi what an idiot I checked over it as well).

Yeah, that's the problem with an easy paper, grade boundaries can be very unforgiving if you make silly errors (even if you know the content inside out like I'm sure you do)

I thought M1 and M2 were only standard, not easier than normal imo.

Not 'that'(still annoying as I understood the module) bothered as I killed FP2 and M2(last year) and I need one 80 in FP3/M3/S2 which i think ive gotten in M3 already.

72 UMS average on the remaining two should do it (total of 144 or more)
Careful because S2, is generally a difficult module to achieve a very high mark.
Aim high on C4

What makes you say that? Any advice for S2?

the high boundaries make me say this ....

the advice I give?
It might be too late now ...
Make sure you do not "need" S2 for your final grade ... For most of my students it will be a non trier

I didn't sit m1 but I agree m2 was standard. But m3/4/5 were fairly easy imo

For FM, I will, but I'm pretty sure I have 180+ from FP2 and M2, and the alternative would be to focus on FP3 for a 90+.
I do like to think I'm fairly decent at S2, however.

Man what's 55/75 you guys reckon? I'm a frickin retake how they manage to throw stuff in that doesn't click mentally after doing every past paper in existence

Based on what arsey has said and the 2014 and 2013 papers, here's the prediction:
A*-63-64
A -56-57
B -49-50
C -42-43
However I can see some areas where easy mistakes can be made and could mean the grade boundaries are a bit lower than that. I'm pretty confident they won't be any higher

Is that arsey's predictions or your own?

m2 was easy, m3 was impossible.
