I did the further maths exam but I know some questions were on the maths exam as well, did anyone manage to do the question about the surds? (is root 72 greater than 7 over something) I think I did okay but I doubt I'll get marks for that question, surds always throw me off.

Oh god just realised after reading this thread that I made some silly mistakes in my exam.

Same, after the exam I noticed that I made a stupid mistake on the graphs question. :frown:

Hopefully, I'll get marks for working.

How did everyone do? I think most people have gotten their letters by now. Does anyone know what the maximum score was?

I think I did fine but I don’t know the maximum score or how the score is actually calculated

Maximum score is 500

That can't be right, I got 516. I know the minimum is 377.

I got 493

I think I saw a thread from last year that said it was out of 540. Not sure if it’s the same for this year though

Hi! I wrote a lot for English [which I wasn't worried about] but due to my ineptitude with quantitative methods I took such a long time on chemistry questions [usually my best subject] that I didn't finish all the paper...I got 417, which I'm pleased about as I'm very self critical and was worried. I was almost scared they gave me the wrong result, but knowing now what it was out of and what most of you have, it makes sense and seems alright as an average; not disproportionately high! I had no idea what number it was out of and was so confused.

My mistake my source must be wrong, has to be 540 as @eggsandcows said. Either that or you broke the system lol

It's really such a confusing system. I wish they gave a sample marking scheme with their 2017 past paper. It would have gotten rid of this ambiguity, definitely. I'm just glad I know my 417 actually makes sense now.
