Here is a 'made up mark scheme' for the paper that we just done. If you don't want to see the marks you got, don't look and go away.
Remember that everyone found this paper hard nationally, so Edexcel will make the grade boundaries much much lower than last years as nationals scale, students found it hard :colone:
