I think circles will be on there and more algebra, i also have a feeling another sin and cos .


Do you think any specific topics? Circles & Algebra are hard to pin point what to study.

I have no idea, I'm just guessing buy how much we have previously done. We haven't covered area yet so i'm guessing that's a defo. I am just re capping on all and looking at past calculator 2 papers to see if that helps !

How did you guys find it? I found it a bit tough, but manageable.

Don't think it was that bad in comparison to non calculator

I agree. Do you think the grade boundaries will stay the same as the GCSE ones?

I think the non calculator on its on will be but lower as loads of people complained about it, but overall have feeling that it may go high as both calculators were really good

I found it OK, there was a couple of tough questions but I thought compared to Thu non calculator. It was good.
I know I did poorly on non calculator, so hoping that my calculator score will bring it up so I get a C !! Roll on results day
Hi guys :smile: i think today's paper had some really thinking questions that involved multople steps and knowledge. I'm thinking, am i the only one that found the tangent, the interest after a year, one of them quadratics thT had to be written in the form of a2-7 +b or something similar, and felt like needed longer time for each question as generally :frown: when is results day please, nobody knew thT was on the exam. Thanks!

I struggled with the area of the rectangle shape one !! That really confuse me,
Did anyone else think there was alot of words on the paper. Like they were over analysing the questions?
