you might lose a mark

but wouldn't they be basically the same thing, because it would be like taking out a factor of -1 from the top and bottom then cancelling the -1

I’m in the same position. That paper killed me and I’ve been predicted A*.

Original post by sachinihimara

I don't know how to prepare, I was predicted A* I've done well all year,Ive done all the c1-4 paper since 2010 at least twice, I've done the specimen and 2018 papers but I didn't have a clue what was going on in todays paper.....
I was expecting an A so if i don't get a B i won't even get into my insurance....

Does anyone have a realistic range of grave boundaries? For A* and A grades?

Should be fine that’s what I did too. As long as you got there in the end logically.

what do u think an A* would be?

Maybe even as low as 72/100 for paper 1. We need to consider that last year's cohort was mainly FM students who sat the A-Level early, given that + our harder paper, I do think our boundaries should be lower overall. However, we need to wait for the other papers :biggrin:

what do you think a 25 would be? a U?
Do you think it is recoverable with the other 2 papers? is a B completely off the table?

There is always hope, trussst

Did anyone get a fraction that was like 43/23 or other way round for question 1?

A-level is Hard

It will be lower than last year (well I hope because the paper wasn't nice) my friend but unfortunately, the Further Maths cohort may not necessarily be too much different from us. I would hope for a 72% but, to be honest buddy, the Edexcel exam board adjusted the grade boundary so that the Further maths students are being treated fairly like normal maths students hence not allowing the grade boundary to be far too high so our ones won't be too much different. I would say at most a 2 % decrease which is still a reasonable amount.

My teacher is suggesting that Grade Boundaries will go UP this year (last year was 76%), but then I am reading people here saying they will decrease so I honestly have no clue.

I predict I have 78 - 83 on this paper I hope I can at least scrape a A*, anyone have ideas for Grde Boundaries?

so true

there wasn't even a vector question this year

That means it will definitely come up on P2 OMG i hate it

Last year was only sat by students doing further maths so grade boundaries will have been higher than this year I reckon

Did you try to factorise the equation and find a that way? Because that's what I did first and your answer looks familar. Since (x+3) is a factor if you put x=-3 into the equation and make it = 0 you get a = 3.

I have made a video going through this paper along with model solutions and tips on how to think about these questions.

How many marks do you think I'd lose for using 15 instead of 16 in Q7 c) to get 165 mins 57 secs? It was a 4 marker.

Also how many marks would I lose for the 4 marker about forming the exponential function if I did V=20000x(4/5)^t instead of using e?

I did e^ln(4/5) but I think you can get away with what you have done cos the e and ln cancel out as they are the inverse of each other... I played it safe and kept the constant ‘k’ as -ln(4/5)
