Can't wait, also do you get marks for working out even if the answer is wrong? Because if that's true then i would have extra 2-4 marks.


if you look at any mark scheme there are B1 M1 A1 marks

B1 is working
M1 is method
A1 is accuracy (e.g. correct answer)

so you will get some marks for working (if the method is correct, but the numbers you used are wrong because of your previous answer - if it's completely wrong then no)

unless of course you get a sad and grumpy examiner :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

Thanks bro! I'm litteally praying for a good examiner to mark my paper lol, and one more question you know for the tree diagram tennis match in the non calc question 21 part a, i wrote 0.8 and 0.3 but accidently put 0.5 so would i get 2/3 marks???

It was a tree diagram and you had to do 6 blanks/branches, so 3 different trees
I think it's 1 mark per tree

So 1 mark for every blank that you wrote, I may be wrong, but It should be like that
If you got 2 right, that's 1 mark,
If you got 4 right, that's 2 marks,
If you got all 6 right, that's 3 marks
At least that's what i think

Ah, that's cool then. :smile:

btw, you get marks for 'CORRECT' substitutions, but I think you still might get a mark for each formula,if you use the correct one, even if your numbers are incorrect. (Just talking logically)

btw, I think you told me you were gonna ask your teacher what he/she thinks the grade boundaries would be, did you? (I think it was you, may have been someone else) :tongue:

they said that an increase of more than 8 marks from last year would be quite extreme

Well, that was a rather subtle answer :tongue:

8 marks means 163, coz it was 155 last year, seems legit. :smile:
