How did this exam go for you?

haven't seen a thread for this so decided to make one! how is everyone's revision coming along?

Could be better! I really skimped on integration by parts when we originally covered it so I've spent a while relearning integration properly and practising it as it's useful in so many parts of the further core content. But I'm worried about complex numbers and polar coordinates - lots of specifics to remember that aren't in the edexcel formula book!

That’s what I was thinking, I’ve done nearly every past paper and that was definitely one of if not the worst

I found it alright apart from the last question. I stuffed up roots of polynomials, but I knew where I went wrong. Hopefully I get some method marks ( I had a sign error). There was some other questions like I was expecting a nice number but I got a horrible answer, like the value of b on the equidistance question I got some **** like sqrt(68/3) which doesn’t seem right, but I think I used the correct method. Most of it, I think the method I used was correct, but the final answer is wrong. I’m prone to making stupid mistakes like sign errors

The answer to that question was b=2.

I've been working around an A/A* level for the whole 2 years in further maths. I found the paper really tough tbf. 50%/60% hopefully. I just couldn't connect anything together, especially that last question. 7 variables? No thank you. Hoping the other modules will carry my grade abit

The pacing of the paper really threw me off, the last question wasn’t particularly nice either- but overall it was quite a nice paper (although i’m awful at vectors so i got both of those wrong)
