The highest I saw it in the past grade boundaries was 105 for a B. Hoping it will be lower this time, due to the difficulty of the first exam. Is it at all common for people to do terribly in the non calculator exam and then achieve a high grade by getting a big mark on the calculator one?




I'm going there as well! :smile: Best of luck bud.


It's probably more common than you actually think. People always have preferences on one paper than the other. That's why some people do a lot better in one than the other. :smile:

Hope so! Looking at the questions in the last paper I think I might have got 20 marks? Pretty terrible lol. Been getting 70ish on the non calculator past papers though so
Yeah it was quite hard I think some people do good calculator paper than non calculator

About 85 marks you'll need for the next paper.

From 70 to 85 doesn't seem too bad. Funnily enough, I'm on my way to the library right now :smile:

Did any of you get the trigonometry question at the end of the 2017 calculator predicted paper by maths genie? I swear I just couldn't see it until my tutor showed me what he did but you had to do so much. I hope there is nothing as hard as that on the paper on Thursday. I don't mind sine and cosine for the most part but this had four different stages of working out.
