For question 19 (Triangle within sector) the area of the triangle can be found simply by 0.5*A*B*sin(c) formular.

Thanks for the working . Your sure for the 5th question you get 2 marks by simply writing down the 3 numbers by trial and error?

Maybe 4H will be easier and raises the grade boundaries
For the question with working out the area of ABCD, I STUPIDLY put the area of the right handed triangle as the answer... how many marks would I lose? I'm estimating that I'd lose about 2 marks? With that in mind, I've got 92% in 3H since I pretty much lost 6 marks in Q18.
EDIT: The estimate for the interquartile range - I didn't put a whole number. Do I lose marks for that?

Hi guys, I am about to download the paper do it with workings and right answers and I will then upload it for everyone to see. I will also estimate grade boundaries according to how hard this was compared to what I did last year. Give me a little bit of time then both with be up :smile:



Thank you very much

hello anyone? :confused:

for the pentagon question would i still get full marks because i did a different method to find n=10:

4x360= 1440
1440/180 +2 = 10


How do you know 4x360 in the first place? It doesn't make sense (maybe I'm wrong)

so for probability one, i should have done 3-1, 1-3 and 2-2 twice!? damn! what was the answer? I got 3/20- so annoying as couldnt decide if i should do 2-2 twice or not!


ye you needed to do 2-2 twice

I think for a you will get FULL MARKS


Is not he cause is 15/3. If you used scale factor of 5 you won't even get 14 hence you get no credit for it.

HEY , does anyone know how many marks the polygon question was? and the angle question? and if any one gets the marking scheme and actual paper can you send it to my inbox? and is anyone sitting for biology on tuesday? omg im so worried...is there a confirmed boundary? thank uu for any thing that you can send to me.


Check attachment!!!Pls dont cry! :biggrin:
PLEASE HELP!!

for the polygon question the followin is my answer(method is wrong)

1 pentagon=5 sides
2 pentagons= 10 sides
therefore n=10


How many marks would i get??

You would get no marks I'm afraid, go look back at my post which I have uploaded the whole paper with solutions to see the real method.

I doubt it but when it comes out i will do 4H too and change the boundaries if necessary. And yes I know :smile: I was working with the assumption that GCSE people do not get taught that formula :smile:

No, stop freaking out. 90% is way beyond an A* get off this thread.

Okay...our Maths department told us that the A* boundary is around 85% and I just wanted to know for sure. :l

As long as it is in the range giving in the mark scheme
