I don't do computer science but I think you will get A because you are clever.

1st one, no marks but if you show the equations like T = x + y, you would get a mark.
2nd, yes one mark
3rd, 2 marks for working out.
4th, one mark

Calculator

1st, 2 marks
2nd, yes you will get a mark for that.

Don't be worried, to be honest, these are hard questions, I didn't understand for first time so well done. No problem.


Thank you for replying!! I 100% agree with you!!

For maths
C= 60- 70 marks over

B= 95 marks or 100 marks

A=130 marks

A*= 163 marks

I think this is right grade boundaries for this year's GCSE maths Edexcel.

I made a dumb error on the first question Non-Calc.

I wrote the formula which is in the equations page of the booklet and then substituted the values in BUT I got the answer wrong and forget to correct it (Stupid, I know).

How many marks out of 3 would I get for my working?

If you put the equations and numbers in it, you would get a mark for it
So you got 1 out of three.

Me too, A grade shouldn't go up this year because it's got few tricky questions.

last years A grade was 125 and year before was 133 but this year was harder than 2014 so 129-131 should be the fair balance.

That's should be fair. Awesome mate. And just to tell you that I was a bit silly and went on the calculator and put 125 + 133 = 258/ 2 = 129
So it's should be at 129 marks.....
And for A*= 160 marks
Seems legit.

I did 145/1000 X 1.80 and got 0.261. How many marks out of 3 would be lost?

Do you know any schools that do A level maths on B grade in maths?
Or just calm down and focus on other subjects.
You can't do anything about it now, just don't think about it.

I am 100% sure that you will get grade A and well done for achieving such a hard grade to get in this exams.

I hope I get a A*, I think I got around 167 marks, I really wanted to get A*, if not, grade A still be good and great for me personally
