r was 4 for the cone question I think.

The circular graph questions was okay, because I revised last minute for it.


I'm going to stick with 2 because I'm sure I checked it over and subbed it in.
The radius of the cone would've been 4 if r=2.
Crap, I may have forgot to divide by 2...

If someone would just post the exam paper online I would know what I wrote. Anyone know why Edexcel gets their papers leaked and not AQA (After the exam of course)?

Let's just use this time to have a guess at what the answers were because I'm lost for words.


I guarantee it shall be 50 or less for an A.
Then this year they decide to f**king bring Graphs of Circular functions and Transformations (which I luckily revised for).

Bye Bye A* Grade. I'm going back to A :colonhash:


What do you reckon an A* will be?

Considering that it's around 164 for last year. It may drop or remain the same.

The question is quite easy to recall?

A sphere or radius r has the same volume as a cone of radius (r+2) and height r. Find the value of r.

You made a typo, It shall drop.

Last year it was 67 on unit 3 for an A*. They may drop it by 2-3 marks I believe

No doubt, but I can see it falling even lower.

2 or 3 marks is too little and I'm always getting A* in past papers and even my teacher never expected the Sine and cosine graphs to come up.
I'd say the minimum it falls is by 6-7

You think? I don't know if they will drop it by 7+ marks. Again, I'm hoping though lol :smile: Hopefully you're right

Yes, but I highly doubt anyone is confident to say they only lost 13 marks. Being honest, I feel as if I will have lost 15-23 which Generally is okay.
I'm not a maths genius, but Maths has been my strong subject and I'm not trying to brag but If I feel that I found it hard some parts may have been generally difficult.
(I'm not saying I'm the smartest in maths, but It has been my strong subject).

Same to you. Same to you all :smile:

Anyone wanna do some Chemistry revision for tomorrow?

Study the unpredictable, it seemed to have worked for me while I was at school: Anyway for anyone that wants to know my grades:

English language & literature: (A, B)
Maths: B
Science Core & Additional (A, A)
Religious Education (A)
Graphic Products (B)
Drama (A)
Citizenship (A*)
History (B)

Preparing for the unpredictable is the best revision, why? When the normal stuff comes up, it's a breeze. Bullet are you taking AQA too for Science, I did last year.
