That was the worst paper I've ever done. I studied extensively and I had no idea what they were asking I will be lucky to get an E on that paper

I know how you feel mate! It didn't do justice to all our effort throughout the course or reflect our level of expertise... What a WASTE of 2 hours.
Good luck with your other exams!

Was it me or was that paper hard
What do you think the grade boundaries will be?


They're usually at around 68/100 for an A, but I s2g they'd better lower them to at least 60 - that was harder than ANY of the previous past papers.
Any one else feel like they have sat the wrong exam because they didn't have a clue what the hell was going on in that. Feel like i wasn't even taught most of that stuff.
Agreed! Complete waste of time. I spent so long revising, did most of the past papers, and still had to leave a few whole questions blank as I didn't even understand what I was being asked to do! This paper was definitely a lot harder than all the past papers :/

Horrible paper, which I thought didn't have many "traditional style" questions which we were expecting.
I know, no binomial distribution too :confused:
The two suvat questions I had noo idea how to answer

What did people get for the distance car B travelled before it overtook car A? That bugged me like mad

You sure? I'm sure the one on dice rolls was binomial but I could be getting confused as I did 2 past papers just before the exam.

Same, one of the only questions I've ever come across where I genuinely have no clue and it just happens to be kinematics :frown:
You had to use two equations, make t the subject and then make them equal each other to cancel out t. I didn't manage it either.. 😞

Ahh balls, I got 200m
was this paper a joke. It is the hardest thing I have ever done in my life, I thought I was doing the ***Ing olympiad. Complete and utter joke
𝛿𝛿𝛿 T^T even the binomial expansion questions were strange.
