Edexcel D1 - 17th June, 2016 [Exam discussion]

Not harder, but too much to do in 90 minutes

There seems to still be controversy over (82 or 80 for Prims) and (11 and 4 or 9 and 5 for linear programming). Need more people saying their answers

I definitely thought it was by far the hardest D1 paper I've seen. Everything was challenging, not really any light relief throughout. Too much to do and the questions were consistently difficult.

How many marks was Prim worth?

How many marks was Prim worth?

Hello! Just finished the D1 exam; it went well aside from the scheduling and gant diagrams. I have one quick question about the last question, the answer was 480 but in the exam I got a bit confused with this answer as since the person had a budget of £525 surely with the £45 he has left over he can just buy more storage units and thus receive more capacity?

I got 10 and 4 ahaha you had to round down I'm sure cos it was 10. Something and I got 80

No more than 3 I think.

How much was linear programming worth? Someone please please answer

budget was 520! but yeah i got 11 standard 4 deluxe at a price of 480 too but I went with my brain and left it

For 4 you have to round down, yes, but not 10 since it goes up in a different scale. 5 tiny boxes on the graph is worth 2 standard boxes or something. Definitely 11/4

I did that whole paper in pencil, what happens if some parts dont get scanned? Can the examiner pull out the real paper?
