How did you find the exam? Hard or easy

i found it quite hard actually. I hope i can get a 6 which is my target grade. What do you think a 6 will be. Think it was 120ish last year. For reference, i got a 5 in mocks.

Exactly the same for me. I'm just hoping that the next two papers are much easier

It's 11.5 amigos. I got 12.5 as well but have recently learned where I went wrong: you had to subtract the area of the little semicircle from the area of the big circle (100pi - 8pi) to get the area of the big circle, which is therefore 92pi. Then you divide 92pi by 8pi, which gives 11.5.

Agreed... I didn't find this paper too hard but it was far from easy. Already spotted several marks I've definitely dropped.

I thought the first half of the paper was quite easy(ish) but it got way harder at the end.
