Everything was going so nice and smoothly. And then Edexcel Maths had to happen. I feel so **** now! How am I meant to get prepared for my next exam when I'm experiencing post-maths exam depression! :frown:

I mean it was ok-ish, but then when you realise you made stupid STUPID mistakes and you're heart sinks...
I'm a failure.
Anyways, on the plus side we have a whole fresh set of 100 marks to gain. If all goes well, I shall be getting that C/B grade. That's all I want, that's all I need.

For the first question, it was rotate clockwise 90*, I vividly remember it. However, I messed up on the reflection of x=-1 and reflected it on the other line, god dammit.

Question 16 is 10^9 not 10^8

Since 6--3 = 9

I disagree, they're way too low. The exam was pretty easy.

You didn't simplify it full though and according to the teacher mark scheme you didn't need to simplify fully anyway so you might get full marks for it and 42 would be a C

Nah you'll lose a mark because 100-25pi isn't equivalent to 25 - 5pi. You took the correct answer and turned it into an incorrect one D:

I think I got around 57-58 marks what would that be roughly? and do you think that the grade boundaries will be lower because people have found this hard?

Since it didnt ask for it in its simplest form, do you guys reckon that 1/4 - root6/12 is fine for the answer to the last question as it is still an exact equivalent to 3-root6/12 ?

I put that but im not sure if it will be accepted, probably not )':.

Whoops, that's a good point. I didn't realise he didn't factor it out.

FFS, I calculated to get 66 marks, I had lost very EASY marks, hopefully I can still get an A.
