Cambridge Applicants for 2013 Entry

in Jan (for unit 1) 75/80 was 100ums 68 was 90, 61 was an A and 54 was a B

Oh right, pretty good indeed then. May I ask where you got that info from? Can't seem to find a proper UMS breakdown on the Edexcel website.

Yeah, could really do with nailing 97+ UMS in this one, as my other subjects haven't really gone to plan thus far. Luckily, 91 for a below-par performance in Unit 1 back in January gives me a little bit of confidence. How have your exams been?

are you guys on edexcel too? at the grade boundaries, i dont know why, maybe some people in the country are really bad at it :/

I'm CCEA. An A's usually around 55/80

I doubt I'd even make an interview, I didn't get any A*s at GCSE. Still gonna stick it on my UCAS just in case
Good luck to you all though!

Does anyone know what 74/75 would be in M1 - like 99UMS?

(this is edexcel?)

Probably 98 or 100 ums edexcel rarely give out 99 ums

(your talking about M1 edexcel that's just past - it was annoyingly easy)

Oh yes, indeed. I really hate the S1 boundaries, think they should be a lot lower than they are, simply for the reason that often one little mistake early in a question can cost you 10 marks.

Hmm, basically I'm not sure whether I'd get full marks for the question where you had to find the values where the ball was 19m above A (or whatever). Put 3.00 (3sf) when it would be 2.99(3sf) - such a trivial thing.

Not that it really matters, just is slightly annoying as I had like half an hour left where I could have changed it

I worked out i got 70/72 and 94 UMS -_- damn you high grade boundaries!

wow 70/72 - what board do you take

OCR MEI. It sucks.

(I know because my class failed epicly in general- only 2 As, most got Us- and so the etacher just ordered them all back in so we could see what we did wrong instead of picking out those who didn't need to) it's a bit frustrating because the two marks I lost were on binomial expansion, which was a topic I had got almost instantly and never had any issues with, and it was just an error when mutliplying a negative number which carried through.

i'm not as good in C1 and C2. in all fairness, I'm probably not going to be good enough for cambridge at the rate these exams are going.

EDIT this was in January

You should be fine as it's correct to 2sf, unless you get a picky marker who sees that as incorrect working!

Is anybody else going to the open days in July???
