Does it matter if you drew the shape from the other direction, but still 3D?, it would be very harsh if it did.

its fine

Hi,

just wondering what grade you think the following marks would get me for GCSE Maths (modular and all higher tier) :

66/80 - Unit 1

44/60 - Unit 2
42/60 - Unit 2

And by looking through the marked papers, i think i got around:

85/120 - Unit 3

Any advice would be really appreciated! xD

If i put like O---------------------------O in the inequalities question, is that wrong cause there shouldn't have been one at the end as well?

107/120 i think over both papers. Could i still achieve an A*? I have A*'s in the other two modules, not sure about the marks. Thanks in advance.

P.S. I think I have 182 UMS at the moment. Please tell me if i have any hope of A*

Do you reckon 50/60 would be an A or a B?

An A

Hey,

I've got 192/200 UMS so far

From looking at your answers, it looks like i've got about 85/120 over the two papers.

What overall grade is this likely to result in?

Thanks
:smile:

B or maybe if you're lucky an A

Inequalities is fine.
You need to say something about the product of their graidents equalling - 1 i think. I'll check tomorrow. I'm marking this paper so I'll get a MS and take a look tomorrow.

For the perpendicular one, i said the gradient has been flipped over and the sign changed (to a minus). would i get the mark? i also showed y= for both to compare both gradients

Yes

While I am currently on 182 UMS? It's still A* overall?

You may scrape it

Okay thank you. It looks unlikely given the previous boundaries, don't you agree?

Could you explain why the standard form one is what it is? because surely that isn't the right value that the earth needs to be timesed by to equal jupiter, since 1.219x10^2 = 121.9 which wouldn't work? i'm only playing the devils advocate because your obviously right as your a teacher but i dont understand. thank you !

I was on 172 UMS after unit 1 and 2 and predict i got 85/120 in unit three what do you think ill end up with? i there any chance i could scrape an A ?

I need 79/120 for an overall A, based on last years grade boundaries, But i got 77/120 in unit 3, do you think the grade boundaries will be lower this year, only 2 marks, also for the earth and jupiter question, i rounded it to 1.22 x 10^2, will i still get all 3 marks? and on the inequalites line, i started the first circle at -2 instead of -3, but everything else about the line is the same as yours, will i get 1 out of 2 marks?

Thanks

i know this might sound ridiculous but my computer is downloading that file so slowly i might as well wait to see my result in august with the rest of my exams so would somebody be an absolute legend and post just the answers (not the working too) to the questions for the second modular paper as a reply :smile:
