Ahh right okay :L last time i was 2 marks off from getting a C so hopefully the boundary will be lower :/ which questions did you find hard today?


Yeah, I was only one mark so I'm hoping too! :// Ummm, from what I can remember... that one about the 5 cards and having to make the even number and one about the fence pole thing and the width between them…? You?

Grade C 68 !!! No way they need to lower this !!

QUOTE=Progaming360;68351290]Grade D - 34/200
Grade C - 68/200
Grade B - 107/200
Grade A - 139/200
Grade A* - 168

Prediction


That's a terrible prediction! The general consensus is that this has been an extremely difficult test, meaning the grade boundaries will be lowered accordingly. A more realistic prediction would be:
D - 34
C - 59
B - 95
A - 128
A* - 159

That was by far the hardest paper I've ever done, I need A, which for this paper is probably about 65 marks, but I feel I've done absolutely terrible, maybe even going as low as the high 50s😭. Good luck anyway.

For the, triangle one i wrote 25 as I thought it was a straight line so i added them together and took away 180. I did say it was a straight line and that = 180. Would I get any marks?

you will probably get 1 mark because you said straight line = to 180
