Highly unlikely

Well it was 50 for an A on June 2009 and I got 75 on that paper it really wasn't that hard I probably still think it will be around low 50s but it could be in the 40s.I have seen numerous people on this website call it the hardest paper ever, one of my friends(an A* student) thinks they might not have even passed the paper it could well be below 50 for an A.Having sat STEP a lot of the hardest questions were almost STEP like.

any teacher which works in a school which had at least a candidate on this paper will have access.

I'm pretty confident these are the correct solutions - but I didn't have the question paper, and I've forgotten the vector question - I didn't remember the vectors A, B or C

Sorry if it's a bit messy

It's on this google drive (the file was too big):

Messed up the area of OQR, for some reason i put Q on the y axis :/

No Arsey?

Whoops - Q/R were on y=x/y=-x

Don't think he does FP3 - I did some rough solutions (but couldn't remember vectors question)

Yep, its annoying because i had 35 mins to check. My raw mark should equate to 100 ums though judging by the difficulty :smile:

did anyone get 1/root10 for distance from plane to the origin?

I thought op was the height so multiplied it by qr and by a 1/2 and got Cosh^2t+Sinh^2t so not quite right.For 8b it didn't seem to work doing it algebraically without involving e using (+-sqrt3,0) as the focuses and (x,y) as the coordinates and using x^2+4y^2=4 just gave a big mess of square roots of quadratic equations of x.

Lol - I've learnt to be more cautious and not rush, did like C1-4 in like 40 minutes last year aha

It was chemistry that I didn't have time to check - I just about finished when the time finished aha
