For the question where you had to turn the two fractions into one fraction in its simplest form what did we get? I can't remember the question exactly

Is there an unofficial mark scheme yet 😁 I thought it went so bad today so want to see how I did
Lots of people from my school found the exam hard, so hopefully the grade boundaries will be lower than last year...:s-smilie:

Got 2 pi for the last question.
For the gradient one i got -1.5 and the intercept as 0.5,
and for the point where the two lines cross i got (3, -4)
For the running question i got 120 metres
The graph equation i got (x-2)^2
I got P as 6 (cube root of 2^p = 4)
K as -4 on the indices question
Pocket money as 7.50
For the cumulative frequency table i got false(?) true , false
For the area of my triangle i got 27(?)
Voucher A by a few pounds


I got pretty much the same as you aside from P as 5 and True, True, False (I think)

I got

9x+7
---------------
(X+2) (X-3)

If I remember properly (the signs might be the wrong way round)

The first page was the reflection and translation questions followed by the drawing your own triangle bits. Uh i think the next few questions were the simple expressions and then there was the voucher A/B question?

It probably was 6 haha! I'm a notorious idiot when it comes to maths exams. Some of my previous mistakes include 1.5+1.5=3.5 and 13-7 is 7. Sometimes I can't believe I'm predicted A*'s :biggrin:

I got p as 6 aswell so if you do 2 to the power of 6 is 64 64 cube root is 4 so therefore p must be 6

thank you, i can remember the first few but after page 11 i cant remember what came up so i am not sure how well i did overall.

I the last question was the length of the arc, and there was a couple of surds and a solve by factorising question above the write as a single fraction question. There were also histogram, probability and vector questions :biggrin:

What did you guys put for the estimate the red and blue counters.
I put 120 for red counters and 80 for blue counters

Would it be marked according to certain values or ranges?
