I'm kinda scared cos although maths is my best subject by far and I can easily get a 9, I feel like I'm gonna make silly mistakes and grade boundaries are so high that I might get an 8.

not-so-official mark scheme, based from my memory of my answers (if anything is wrong or you know some more, let me know, ill probably be active this afternoon)

Final question = 4.22cm²(to 2 d.p)
That question with the money = £175
Parallel line: y = 2x + (whatever)
Second to last question: I got inconsistent spacing in the x axis and the graph being incorrectly plotted, there are likely more valid criticisms
Cumulative frequency: 44, 66, 80, 85, 87, 90
Employees with a salary of under £32k: I think I got 58, depends on how you drew the diagram
2 weeks as a fraction of 8 days = 7/4
The 1:n question = 1 : 4.875
A as a fraction of B = 2/7
Line with gradient 5, passing through point (3,7) = y = 5x - 8
The spheres in a cylinder = 2/3
The n^thterm question = 2n² + 3n + 1
The factorising question = (3n+2)(n+1). I wrote some waffle I can't remember for the explanation why there were no primes in the sequence.
Equilateral triangle perimeter = 66cm.
The pie chart question = 22
Becky made 350 more integers than the other person
In the Venn diagram, x = 44
Sine rule question = 10.70cm (again to 2 d.p)
The pounds were equal to 3.75kg
Quadratic inequality: x > 1.5 or x < -4
The plane weighed 1206kg max, so could not take off safely
The other plane question should be a straight line at 500mph, with a suitable x-axis
The region should have been a small-ish triangle sitting above the x-axis, part of it on the left of the y-axis but most to the right of it. The top 2 parts should be dotted lines (- - -) and the other should have been solid (-----)
y is negative at x=4, not any other valid value of x (it was a positive even number)
The bearing was 135
The distance from B to C was 11km

if P(A) is 1/2 and it adds up to 50 that means everythting outside A must add to 50. 6 was outside so that means it has to b 44. we are definitely right
