OCR Maths Higher today

did anybody do it. It was paper 5 today, in my honest opinion it was solid. I think i will be lucky to get anywhere near 50%. Some of those (the last one in particular) really threw me. To be honest i didnt actually struggle on tooo many questions but on a couple i got ridiculously long answers.

For those of you who are wondering: it was the one with the cone as the last question and the heave barrels for the builder (45T) weight boundary.

How did you do?

They gave you the equations for the last question (front of the paper), and everything cancelled, which was nice.

pi*r^2*h = pi*r*l
I got 96pi for final part.

Wow, I got that too! I at least got a few marks then.

I didn't think it was too bad, I found a lot of past papers harder.

I thought the one with different proportions between x and y, then y=10 and you have to say what happens to it when you have 4x was really confusing, it took me ages to work out what they were on about.
