It has only been below 132 once in the last 6 exams.

the angle isnt in the middle so you cant do 1/2absinc
Unfortunately due to lack of revision I think I got about 97(overall including both papers) do you think that would be a b or do you think that the grade boundaries will be more strict this year

Very difficult to say. Too close to the B/C boundary to call.

It remained 720! not 50 so it was 240 x 3 = 720 and then 240 x 2 = 480


Would I still get a method mark for using the correct method but with the wrong number?

what do u think an a* would be. If it was other years I would have gotten an a* but seeing now that the test was easy I am scared I wont get it
Does anyone know if there is a november resit for this paper or not and if so i when is it (under the old spec)

Usually above 164 (June last year was an exception). My guess would be 166-170 (purely speculative).

I would suggest that you harshly mark both papers, by this I mean exclude any questions you think would award method marks and marks you're not 100% sure you got. This will get you your absolute minimum score. I would say if your minimum is below ~88, it is unlikely that you'll get a B (but not impossible). A B grade ranges from 94-98 I believe, and could well be between 98-102 this year.

November 2nd and 4th. Not much time to revise between exams !!
I got 80.4 for the last question however I did not use the method described. I did not use the sine rule, I mainly used Pythagoras and the cosine rule. I got the correct answer so does this matter, is there more than one way to achieve the correct answer?
For question 13 part b do you still get one mark just for plotting the dots at the right postion even if its not a curve?

There is more than one way to get the answer but Pythagoras isn't one of them (can only be used with right-angled triangles)

If all plotted correctly, then yes.
Will I lose a mark if I didn't label my histogram

No because probability is a decimal or percentage, not fraction

Probability can be written as a fraction.
