So what answers did everyone put on the edexcel paper 2 foundation and what was your thoughts on the paper?
The first part was easy however I panicked and found it alot harder towards the end
that last question ? as long as I pick up a few marks it will be alright - had no idea how to do it lol

It was a quite easy question. Use pythag to find the base length, then find the area of the cross section and times it by the length of the prism. The answer was 280 I believe as that's what I got and what many others have too.

Definitely not true. That's way too high. I'd say around 130 for a 4, and 170 for a 5.

It will be lower than that, so don't worry. Maybe 165 for a 5 and 125-127 for a 4 :smile:

WON'T increase that much, please don't stress.
