Wewt, rekt those Maths results :biggrin:, congratulations everyone!

Overall grade: A* | 549/600 UMS | 91.5% UMS

UNITS:
MPC1 - 100 UMS
MPC2 - 100 UMS
MPC3 - 100 UMS
MPC4 - 93 UMS (didn't finish the vectors and made two silly mistakes </3)
MM1B - 100 UMS
MD01 - 56 UMS (yeah, I did no revision for that one)

I know, RIP in pepperonis 100 UMS in all core units :/ (was never aiming for 600/600 UMS because I'm too lazy for the optional unit :biggrin:... only got 100 UMS in M1 because it's ez pz xD).

Overall A-level subject grades:
AQA Mathematics - A*
OCR Physics A - A
Edexcel D&T Graphic Products - B

AS subject grades:
AQA Mathematics - A
OCR Physics A - A
Edexcel D&T Graphic Products - A
OCR Chemistry A - B (dropped because I didn't really like it that much and was thus less willing to revise - especially so when considering my school makes you drop to three A2's unless the fourth is Further Maths - for it, hence the B)


Congrats! Going to uni? :smile:

They shuffle them to maximise your grade anyway don't they?

Well done! I was right that this was my worse unit. 100 in C3 and 95 in C4 haha.

Is there any way a remark of my core 4 could move it up 10 ums (5 raw marks) or is this highly unlikely? I got 70 (52 marks) but really need 80 as I got 100 in core 3.

Highly unlikely, sorry. Given that it's a maths exam, the mark scheme will be very definitive regarding the allocation of marks. As such, unless you were wrongly not credited with accuracy marks on multiple questions, I can't see a scenario in which your mark would increase by 10 UMS.

if anyone could do a worked answer to question 8, that'd be so helpful.
Thanks!
