To get an A* overall do you need to get 90% in the applied modules such as S1,M2 etc

Yup, this year in C1 I always get a low A in papers whilst with the other modules I get high As. Hoping the FP1 paper will be easy.


Whoop. Me and you both. I think I did well in C1. Now just need to tear FP1 up in pieces. I want a B in FM

Anyone doing FP1 on Friday?


Yasssss. Ready?

No. Come on. The exam board isn't stupid. Just because you may have thought it was hard, doesn't mean everyone else has. + Exactly what grade boundaries do you want them to lower? They haven't set them yet! xD

For the question about finding the intersections points

you had to find 3 points right

and the increments of x and y both went up in 0.2 yes?

Does anyone remember some of their coodrinates? I remember getting -5.8 for onmy x coordiantes for the root on the far left... soud famililar?


Yas! And I think -1.8!??

idk really! I'm just hoping its an easy paper as when MEI make FP1 difficult, they make it difficult.

Lol.. I think we'll be okay if we get a NICE Proof by induction.

I like FP1. It's a nice module. I also hope that the matrix questions are straightforward as they usually are.

Something tells me they're going be tough!

I think I got something like X^2 + X -5 or something but that could be wrong, however the graph did intersect Y axis at -5 so I'm presuming mine is correct ??


Phew! I got that too :biggrin:

I think he didn't do MEI , I think he just did OCR C1.

by the proof I meant the 90 degrees triangle question - I did do MEI

sound reasonable?
looking over the unoffical mark scheme im pretty sure I got all the questions right in section A, do you think its still possible to drop some marks even if you got all the answers correct (of course I showed all my working)?
What did everyone put for question 9) iii. (B) find the equation of the translated curve? I can't find the answer on the mark scheme

I personally think it will be a bit higher than that, so like A - 61, B - 56, C, 49. Although I really messed up the last two question parts (Will get some method marks) so I am really hoping the grade boundaries are as low as possible ahaha.

Ah right, thanks!

yeah i think the harder long mark questions in section b will make it lower than last years ive predicted my mark to be between 58 and 62 so im right on the A border and hoping the B grade is lower in case i've done worse than predicted

I mixed up the two and so put them as coordinates but i'm guessing i would still get the working out mark
Original post by Pra99
I just checked and just x coordinates is fine. 😀

Hmm, I'm thinking a bit higher. But hopefully the grade boundaries are low.
Voting poll for what we think will be the A grade boundary :smile: get voting and spread the word!
