Scroll to see replies

Original post by Anonymous.H
These are ROUGH grade boundaries;
A* ~ 78/100
A ~ 63/100
B ~ 48/100
C ~ 33/100


I think it could be 4-5 marks higher, considering it was easier than last years paper and last year it was around 76 for an a*.
Can anyone tell me if I will get one mark on the last question at least for doing this

Can't believe I forgot 4 letters on the 3rd question of a maths paper I did about 8 hours ago, sorry.

No, as you got the method wrong, not multiplying it by 1/2 to get √6/12.
Usually some find there is an easier and harder paper for maths, do people think this will be the hardest or the next paper will be harder?
What would you say the minimum mark you needed for a C was?

Oh thanks but lol I meant 42 for the estimation question, would that still be full marks?

As long as you rounded to an appropriate degree of accuracy and did the calculations correctly then I dont see why not. It depends what numbers you chose.

last year it was literally 26% for a c. 48 for a b.

Why everyone's saying it's 60s for a b, idk, stop worrying people. grade boundaries are usually MUCH lower.

Would you say if I got 32-35 marks in both of the papers I would be safe? Or nah?

Yea, you can't divide √6 by 3. Doesn't work like that.

Question 2(b)
Wasn't the point meant to be touching 3? Yours touches 4 and I'm pretty sure it touched 3 because I checked multiple times. I could be wrong but could you just double check your answer ?
