Does anybody have ANY past papers and mark schemes? i have no idea about the types of questions coming up or the way to structure the answers. Any help would be great!

i think my teacher told me 90% is an A*
is this wrong? it does seem a bit high
if it is does anyone have a rough idea of the boundaries?

Yes indeed, that's what i was told and yes it is very high: people have been putting links up to grade boundaries on threads but they're for summer 2010.

So the exam in summer last year is from a different spec?
Does that mean the paper you posted is different from what we are doing tomorrow??

No one knows untill after all of the exams have been taken. I think they'll be between 71 and 75, as last years was 73. I don't think it'll be as high as 81 tbh.

I'm really an idiot, The highest I can get for this exam is a D, in the past units, I got a A* and a B, I'm really lacking man. I've been busy revising maths.
