I'm pretty sure you could look on the OCR website but the only maths you ever really need is for the equations given to you at the start of the paper

Maths for science

2014 P123 paper

Mark scheme

Patterns can and do show up, but try to cover everything over the weekend, because you don't want to be gambling with your GCSE grades...

Good luck everybody. :smile:

do you know what questions to answer and how much they're worth?
I know the inspector calls one is 30 marks (+4 for spelling) but you know the section B one, is part a and part b answered separately or in the same paragraph?? And is the whole thing in total worth 30 marks or separately?? pls help I'm screwed

I know that for the mice and men section you have a question in 2 parts which totals to 36, they give you an extract of a character and ask you to analyse it and link it to specific ideas about the character. in the second part you have to talk a bit about context and they ask you about a specific thing such as the significance of animals in the book. This all totals up to 36 marks, I'm not 100% sure though so take this with a pinch of salt :smile:

ohh okay. the whole question is worth 30 marks plus 4 marks for spelling + grammar.
so is part a worth 15 marks and part b worth 15 marks?? Or is it distributed unequally??

I'm not too sure about how much you get for spelling and grammar but they just ask you to carry out two things, one on an extract and one on the book and it's context and then give you a mark out of 36 for doing these 2 things. So I guess if you only did one part but did it really well you would get half the marks but in order to get close to full marks you need to do both tasks to a suitable standard.
