that could be a seven. last year for paper 1 it was 44 marks for paper 1 and 137 total to get a 7 so just aim for 50s for the calc papers all the best!!

can someone explain the similar shapes, i think ive only got 68/80 and im really worried that my other papers will drop it. i put right angle hypotoneuse side but how does that not work, would it get any marks? for the question after i put 7.2 as well, could that get marks? im so worried.

i think one angle was a shared angle, and the other two were angles were same bc of corresponding angles so similar through aaa but idk fs

68/80 is rlly good if u average this across paper 2 and 3 you’ll get 8 or 9!!

AAA, common angle, 2 corresponding angle because parallel line. Length of side use scale factor.
