I put y + 1.5x .. not gunna lie ... because I was thinking in the way that guy was as well... noticed there was a question similar to that in a past paper .. and yes you are right ... so I'll just lock myself in a toilet and just **** the rest of my life ;-P


It's good that you know for now! Remember that this doesn't count towards 90% in A2 if you want an A*!

No ... I just want an A .. it's these additional that I hate
C1 and C2 i basically got 100% maybe one or 2 marks lost
S1 and D1 I ****ed up ... probably got 65 UMS in S1 and 75 UMS in D1
C3 I'm most confident with
C4, well ... we shall see ;-P

How's it going for you?
I actually think i got everything correct, but I didn't have time to check the scheduling question. Did you get 5 workers using the cascade chart and 3 workers when scheduling.

I'm doing A2 at the moment so D1 is just going to count as an AS module for me in maths most likely

Yeah I'm doing A2 as well ... D1 counts for AS for me. Hopefully C3 is good ...

did you guys find this paper harder than usual because i did, the questions were in an unfamiliar format to the past papers i did for it.

Did anyone else have a little cry when they saw those weird squiggly lines as paths on the dijkstra question? (Got it right but still made me wanna die)

Good luck :smile: I did C3 last year
I'm sure the lower bound of workers was 4

I hardly did any past papers so not harder than what I was expecting as I had nothing to compare it to

Maybe that's just me though?

For question 7 the scheduling with an extra 6 leniency, did anyone else manage to do it using 3 workers?

I hate to be Captain Obvious, but.. I would not suggest repeating that unless you really don't have a choice. I've done that for uni exams because I left things too late. :hide:

Yupp learnt the hard way :frown:

Gonna be way more organised next year but until then got a week to learn d2 from scratch xD

For the objective function I wrote C=10x+15y without simplifying further, would that affect the number of marks I'd achieve

If you've got no exams inbetween, I think you can do it, as long as you are getting enough sleep. Good luck!
