Paper 1 last year was 87% A*
I think this will drop by 10 because last year was way easier

Assuming i get all the method marks, i figured my worst case out at 87, but thats assuming i get all the method marks.
But at the same time i dont get how i could miss the method marks

Thanks, i just hit my stride in that exam some how and i wasnt making the mistakes i usually make in practice papers, pretty much all my marks lost were on the written questions, like how the hell do i know the significance of the root.

What are you thinking you got?

I think they may be copy right (thats what my teacher told me) but the link is on this forum if you just search the word link or google drive into this forum, it will come up with the post which had it on

Are zig zag, kerboodle and CGP papers any good?

Any ideas for grade boundaries for this paper? Reckon I got from 77-83 marks depending on if they have follow through marks and how strict they are on method marks.

I hate their marking style
In a mock I got M2A0 which means I got 0 marks
you need M1A1 min to get marks on mid to higher level questions I think

MadAsmaths has tonnes of papers, only note is to do both paper 1 and paper 2's, they are split by AS topics and A Level topics so you should practice both.

CGP questions tend to be wayyy easier than actual exam questions

lmao the cgp questions are too easy. but the CGP papers, for whatever reason are literally the same difficulty as the actual exam, even a tad harder id say having done them

yeah i agree, the CGP papers were probably the only thing i did prior to the exam that were close in difficulty to the paper we had to sit
