around 70/69

Think I could of potentially got 100% finally after dreadful further maths exams

Will 73 be 100 ums guys?

Pablo swear you're just here to troll people with absurdly high predictions

what were their offers?

5 ii was 2cosec4y I think

My sister just sat this exam and she realised afterwards that she completely missed out the last question because she didn't see it.

Will this be catastrophic if she wants a high A?

Surrey Sussex Sheffield.
AAB ABB AAB

They all missed by 1 and got in anyway. I think my other friend missed queen marys by 2 and still got in

For the question with the simplifying fractions (I think it was 8), does this method work?

(x^4 + x^3 - 3x^2 + 7x - 6)/(x^2 + x - 6) = x^2 + A + B/(x-2)

If x = 0,

-6/-6 = A - B/2

If x = 1

0 = 1+A- B
B = A+1

1 = A + (A+1)/(-2)
-2 = -2A + A + 1
-3 = -A
A = 3
So B = 3+1 = 4

What did people get for 6a? I got A=3 but my remainder was coming out at 4x+13... I was putting -6+18 inmy calculator, repeatedly but kept coming out as 13 (wtf) ( I should have obvs done this in my head but I was trying to save time and didn't see the blatant mistake of not doing -6+18 in my head-.-) So I just left the rest of Q6 and dropped all those marks -.- becuase of my calculator.
My calculator also kept giving the wrong answer sin(-pi/3) (and yes I was in rad) for one of the questions - thankfully I went back and then it decided to give my the right answer

Destroyed my calculator. Now I need a new one for c4

Just wondering if you miss by one grade do you have to go through clearing to get in ?
