Horrible paper!!
On the scheduling diagram I misread the question as I had about 2 minutes left and did it to 30 instead of 36! Do you think I'll get any marks?

You'll get 1 if you put all the criticals to one worker

I thought the budget was £250 not £520, so did the graph with the inequality as if it were £250 and the feasible region and the vertex and the optimum amount.... How many marks will I get as my method was correct just with the wrong budget

Normally you lose a accuracy mark( final) for that part, and 1 for the next part of the question and if you used it in any further no penalties I guess...
Hope for the best

Don't worry I think everyone feels like this! Just pray for low grade boundaries!

Didn't the last question ask for the minimum cost and not the capacity?

To get 100 UMS at papers:
Do all past papers and all the very annoying thinking questions worth about 2 marks each do 200 of them and get the hang of it this year Edexcel are putting in all the hard 2 mark questions e.g. look at S1 there was a whole question a just 2 markers that added to 10 marks so practice the annoying 2 mark questions
I am hoping to do this for S2 D2 C4 now.

Yes, i got that. But what did you get for the cost in part f. Because part f was asking you about cost when the objective line was for capacity?

Oh good! And I got like 781 I think? Which didn't make sense because the maximum budget was 560 or something..... so that really confused me. What did you get??
