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

That's what I thought exactly!

I think it was: find the shaded area, side lengths were both root 2 over 2, then the fraction of one side was root 3 over 3. I got 3 - root 6 over 12

Oh my god----- I wrote that, but then I thought ''what if I can simplify'' so I divided the 12 by the 3 and the 3 by 3 so what I wrote in the answer line was 1-root 6 over 4 oh my gosh I'm so annoyed!!! Should've just left it!!! :angry:

I wouldn't worry much about the questions with the * next to it since there's multiple ways of working out

So if i got 85 marks on this paper, will i only need a minimum of around 75/76 to get an A* in the next paper?

Thats an estimate but i would say u need about 80 just incase :smile:

Start a foundation thread, if you haven't already? Not going to find many foundation-ers in the higher thread ;/

At harshest marking, I'm at 91 or 92 out of 100! I felt that paper was much better than last years exams!
:smile:

For the vectors question, I said S was part of a straight line and proved it as they were multiples, would I get any marks for that? I said the first section of the vector in terms of a and b and then the rest of the line and noticed when they were factorised, scalar multiples were present.

Could you possibly put the number of marks for each question in the second half?

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.
