Hey so it looks like I got around 132/135 in both papers, what grade am I looking at? I'm hoping for an A because my mums been pressuring me but I'm not sure because everyone is saying that they found it easy so I'm not sure how high the grade boundaries will be.. Any ideas?

Not bad. I got between 88 and 93 percent.


what do you think an A will be this year overall i think i got 130-133/200????
On Q17, i used sine rule in the triangle to find an angle. However, i didn't know about the ambiguous value for the sine rule and used the wrong form of the answer. Would i get 0marks eventhough i got all the methods right, just not the angle?
The answer you got for question 11 is wrong because you didn't add the £17.5 that he has to pay for the car park. This means tha the right answer for question 11 is £17.5+£42.29= £59.79

I think you added the parking twice dude

Do you have the working solution for question 11

thats probably a B - an A will be about 140-145

You'd probably get 2 marks if you got the method right☺️

but it was 125 for an A last year though it shouldn't increase that much

God I doubt they'll be that high, a lot of people I know don't think they managed to even get a C

I got 80.1? You're probably right. Did you get the other angle as 40 and side as 5.22?


I got 80.1!!!

Got everything there but put 30 instead of 30.1, forgot the half in 1/2absinc for the last question and got 1/3x+4 instead of -1/3x+4. Still kicking myself. HOW DO YOU FORGET HALF, IT IS A TRIANGLE. :'( But I should get above 95 due to ecf.

Sorry lol i don't know the grade boundaries for an A, that was just an assumption

I don't think so because the angle has to be between the two sides (7 &8) for the formula of triangle area to work and x was another angle so you had to do cosine to find another side and then sine rule too before you could get x. Not sure though. xx

Yep everything you wrote is right and that's exactly what i did and my answer was 3.11

Pick one.
So for an A* what do you expect the grade boundaries to be?

I'd say 168-170/200

That's what I am wondering but no one's answering haha. Tbh the paper was very easy however it was a paper that you could easily lose marks and make silly mistakes and quite a lot of people did. I just hope I got enough for an A*!
