****ed it. Went to blow my nose for 2 minutes cuz of hayfever but ended up running out of time for the latter half of q8 - which means 10 marks down the drain. Also didn't finish the trig question so 1 mark lost. Overall looking at 64-65/75.

My offer requires an A* in Maths but with only 63-64/65 in C4 and 65-66/75 in C3 doesn't look likely.

Hayfever is truly the killer of dreams

Is it possible to get at least a B in maths, I get an A for C1 and C2, B for S1, D1 and C3 and a C in C4?

You mean question 7? It wasn't a cylinder because it was curved at the end

It was a cylinder. Area S was equal to the cylinder volume - the area under the curve.

The mark scheme typically allows answers in hr:min form to the nearest minute.

Yes, but i use volume of cylinder for height =17/2 + 1/2 = 9 Vc= pi(8)^2x9 = 576 pi and then i integrated between 17/2 and 1/2 and then subtracted the values. Is this wrong?

Original post by riffy123

I did that too and it must be right!

No it isn't right. You're not supposed to add 1/2 to the 17/2. The 17/2 is the height

I'm pretty sure thats allowed because it didn't say give the answer in minutes.
It only said to the nearest minute.

I was happy coming out of that exam predicting I got about 69 thinking that combined with my C3 of 66 is an A*. Then I've come on here and seen all you bastards found it easy! Whats the likely hood of 66 and 69 being an A*?

I thought the paper was ok overall. There was some simple questions and some not so simple questions.

One other thing, if you go wrong early in a question can you get method marks and ecf marks?

You should do unless the question was a "show that" in which they would expect you to the the one they give.
