AS Maths pure exam

How did everyone find the AS Maths pure exam today?

I did AQA new spec, i thought some of the pure was very hard and like unanswerable but the mechanics was very easy and so i still hope i can get 40+ marks. What do we think grade boundaries will be?

Well I did the new Edexcel exam I thought it was quite hard in places. I have no idea what the grade boundaries would be

To me, I thought the exam was easy, but that could just be me. What questions did you find hard?

I found it horrendous! I didn't even finish and I've normally got time to spare in maths exams

If you want I can post what I did and see if that helps you, I will most likely spoiler block it though

I did WJEC new spec and found it almost impossible. I left so many and guessed on lots of others. I walked out of the exam hall with legs like jelly

Anyone else do AQA?

For the reference to the Edexcel AS Pure Maths students, Lemur has created a Thread with most of the answers, which if wrong we can all make a corrected Unofficial Mark Scheme

Did you have any idea for the question where it asked you for the range of values of m that have real roots or something like that?

I was in exactly the same situation, such a difficult exam. Hopefully grade boundaries will be low haha

Everyone else I've spoken to has struggled so hopefully they will be!

CIE anyone?
