Played, mate. Well played.
Yeah. That true. But if you can practise as much question in the past paper it will fefinetly improve your grades. Trust me.
How'd it go for you? What did you get for the lambda question?

I found it a decent paper but I left the question out since I didn't have time. Is it possible to create an unofficial mark scheme

Hey, I got 9/11
Ah I got 24/11

Did you use the rule

OA + FB = OB (b)?

No I used two equations for FB
One I used FO+OB
And the other one I used FB=xEB
Then I equated coefficient of a with each other and coefficient of b with each other

Ah yeah that makes sense, let's see who gets the answer then, what about the angle between the plane ABE and ABCD?

Same, I liked the test personally, made a few silly mistakes but hoping for around 80 so I can catch up on Paper 2. At least we know calculus is definetely coming up for that!

I think the grade boundaries for a A* should be around 88. I got 15 for the last part in question 10.

What about for the A and for the B? Got 15 as well.
What did you guys get for the arithmetic sequence question?

I got common difference as 4 and first term as 5
I got p as 12
How did you get that because I got 4/3 and 5/3

Only arithmetic and lamda.questions were tough but rest were easy
