I bet you can't even solve a quadratic equation you oblate spheroid

The only thing I can't solve is why your mum didn't abort a dickhead like you

He does indeed.

Thank you I'm glad you noticed that.
didnt use parametric equations but instead x1+x2 = -b/a for ax^2+bx+c to find the mid points for the last part, which is not included in the edexcel syllabus, how many marks would this cost if I do get the right equation of the line?Also I would like to know if the consensus is that the grade boundary would be lower than last year (62 for 90).Not feeling comfortable with this paper, shouldn't have focused too much on STEP23 and just ignored FP3.

If you got the answer using the sum of roots way you still should get full marks. If not and you had a mistake in between I'm not so sure. I am sure you will still get some credit I think. Not 100% sure though.

Yeah sum of roots, but did not actually solve it, just said what was the sum by a theorem not taught in edexcel syllabus(didn't realize it wasn't in the syllabus, it appeared often in step papers).I'm sure the line is correct.
And what about grade boundaries?

Posted from TSR Mobile


I reckon boundaries will be 1/2 lower then last year. Most likely 1 but could be 2. I hope it is 2 haha.

That would be a really comforting news.

Who cares about grade boundaries when ur getting full ums
Original post by physicsmaths
Yh hurts me everyday. She said to me if u dont get an S in step shes gona disown me fam. Guess im being diswoned on 13th august.

Don't you get step results the day before results day?

X1+X2 = -b/a is just an application of the quadratic formula, it doesn't need to be in the spec :smile:

So is it okay to just quote it or should I justify it with the quadratic formula?

Tbh I have no idea, I would give you the marks but who knows

Bruv ur must be sad blaming clocks for your own failure get a life u plonker.


Oh no I'm not blaming that, and not saying I failed! Just saying it's annoying, haha!
Am I the only one still thinking of FP3 in the back of my mind?
