Edexcel C3 June 2016 - Unofficial Mark Scheme

59/75 ? not 68? some people are saying 68 marks ?

guys am I counting this right? somebody please help me
we need 480 ums for an A, I has 251 from AS , that means I need 229 across C3 C4 M1 ?
I think I got 55 marks in M1 , same in C3 , does that mean I need 89 ums in C4 to still get an A??? how many marks approximately is 89 ums? can I still get the A?
PLEASE help

does anyone know how many marks each question carried/how to find it?

Number of marks for each question: 1) a: 4, b: 1 2) a: 4, b: 3 3) a: 3, b: 5, c: 2 4) a: 5, b: 2, c: 2, d: 2 5) a: 5, b: 5 6) a: 4, b: 5 7) a: 2, b: 3 8) a: 4, b: 6 9) a: 2, b: 2, c: 4@thesporkthief said those

What does everyone reckon 90UMS will be? I think I got around 67, which would be just about the A* boundary I think??

From peoples reactions it seems 60-62 A and 65-69 A*.
Personally got around 65/66 fingers crossed that's what you'll need for an A*

Your welcome how did everyone find the exam today question 8 was particularly troublesome but the rest of the questions weren't too bad.

Guys is a a star still achevable, I mean I was well on my way to 480um But, I lost 10-12 marks in c3.
Also, is it average 90ums in c3 and c4 or 90% average in both papers?

I will post model answers tomorrow

Yes. It is absolutely still achievable. Work as hard as you can for C4 - depending on the grade boundaries for C3 and C4, you could need 70/75 or you might scrape an A* with 60/75. Better not to risk it - do as much as you can before Friday.

You only need an average of 90 UMS across C3 and C4. So 80 UMS on C3 and 100 on C4 would do it. So would 85 and 95 etc.

Terrific news! I''ll get to work straight away, and try not to start panicking in the exam lol! Also what would my ums in C3 be?

Prediction of grade boundaries ?!?!
