HELP! I found Edexcel Maths 2019 Paper 1 really hard?

7

Hi

I’m a bit concerned. I did the 2019 Edexcel Maths paper 1 and I found it really hard - I got around 48/100 on the paper. Did anyone else struggle on it? I’ve been doing past papers and I did the 2020 papers for Edexcel and I found those a lot easier - with paper I got 65/100 and paper 2 I got 70/100 - than I found paper 1 for the 2019 series.

Does anyone know what level of difficulty the 2022 A-Level Edexcel papers will be for A-Level Maths?

It was a hard paper. Here were the component boundaries to give you an idea of how well you did:

Nothing is known about the difficulty of the 2022 papers. They could be easier or harder than 2019.
