They look pretty hard compared to the previous years. The foundation paper seems extreme.

They don't even look to hard???
But they are definitely harder papers then the current paper I done this year in my exam for AQA but it's not harder than the Further maths Level 2 Certificate. So it's an okay exam. Wish I done this new GCSE

I would've liked the old papers to be honest. The foundation papers are a little extreme to only achieve a grade C but the higher has only increased a little in difficulty but the increase in difficulty isn't needed at foundation - it seeming like the pass rate will go down.

yeah, it probably will but the government needed to do this. I've seen foundation past papers and they are not up to scratch. I saw a question like this

True but this is seeming a little extreme there's simultaneous equations on the foundation paper.

They can get quite complicated, but hopefully they'll play nice at GCSE. And it's good to hear that you're finding it okay

17 (b) Use the graphs to solve the simultaneous equations y = 5 x and y = x + 1[1 mark]x =y =
I really don't think somebody on foundation would get that question.

Well the people who've done foundation now can't but the people doing it should be able to because they will get taught it.

True..I just hope this education reform for the major subjects doesn't come at a loss for the people sitting exams in 2017.

I only looked at the higher paper which is an acceptable (just about) in my opinion.
The issue is not to make an exam harder only.
If this is to happen the boundary for an A* will be around 60 and here we go again .... more political spin.
Topics need to come onto the curriculum early, instead of doing fractions, %, ratio for 5 years in a row...
I did fractions in Year 6 (educated abroad)
We never did fractions ever again. In year 9 we were completing the square.
I think maths should be core until Y9.
After year 9 there should be a compulsory GCSE paper in applicable, sensible everyday arithmetic, data and mensuration. (NO ALGEBRA!)
Those who wish to do maths, take it as an option in Year 10 and let me design the curriculum for that ...
