Hey, if anybody is willing to contribute the answers, and preferably the questions, then I shall set up a mark scheme for you all. Thanks in advance!

Can people please attach question numbers to their answers? Method would be appreciated.

This will be updated as I go along.

Hi, u know for the maths class question I said it's not representative of the whole population, would u still get the mark? And also I think u missed out the spinner question, the one where the guy spun it 300times, I said the answer is 60. :smile:

It is never been that high for a grade c; usually around 25/30

easy paper though, lots of low grade math imo

Every exam i have had i have not properly finished or done that well and so i think I've obviously missed by target grade but still getting a B or an A, but this one was a flat out fail. I was being bigged up by everyone for being the brainy one, now i am going to be about 3rd or 5th in the school league table and end up as a Shop manager or something. (Not being offensive to shop managers but it is a bit short of my expected career or Chartered engineer etc).
Ive fudged my GCSEs up, you hear about it, but you never think it could be you.

Well i feel dissapointed by myself today - hopefully we can both do good next paper. I feel like my mind was blocked during that exam, i couldnt even multiply without doubting myself. And yeah i think that having a smart reputation probably led u to be overconfident or "jinxed" by some people

Thanks, and apparently the pi question for the surface area was 25(4-π), if I put 100-25π, will I be losing 1 mark there as well?

I don't know, I believe it asked for the answer in it's simplest form, therefore 25(4-pi) would be the only correct answer.

It depends what was your answer?

I found that the area of the bigger triangle was 1/4, and that the smaller triangle was sqrt(6)/12 but my final answer was wrong. Would I get method marks?
