TeeEm please help me out.

how does edexcel marking work?

For a Q, it said find the speed of (3i-4j).

What i did was found the correct speed (5m/s), but then went of a tangent and did some SUVAT equation to get another answer. Do they marks ONCE theyve seen the answer?

Please help in crying

Didn't even know this thread existed, I've been living on my one :holmes:
If I put a dotted line instead of a solid line on the argand diagram would I loose a mark?

Yes. A dotted line implies the circle is not included, so you would lose the mark.

Ok... I can't remember was that a two marker?

I integrated tanx instead of 1/tanx for Q3, does this mean I lose all the marks for that question? :frown:
Apologies if there have already been some preliminary boundaries put up somewhere but if anyone could hazard a guess at what ums 69/75 would be that would be great...

Just below the A* i guess

It always scales halfway inbetween the 100 UMS and 80 UMS (A) boundary, and usually rounded up if it's a decimal. I'd say A is 64/75, so A* would be 69 or 70/75. So you'll probably get 88 ish, or exactly 90.

EDIT: Does anyone know if they penalise if you don't leave the answer in its simplest form (e.g. saying it's the 4th root of 64 instead of 2 root 2) or do they accept that as the 'or equivalent' mark? I didn't recognise that in the exam and my calculator gave 2.828 (should've knew this was 2x 1.414 which is root 2...)
