AQA GCSE Mathematics Paper 3 Higher - Wednesday, June 11, 2025 [Exam Chat]

what did people draw for the areoplane speed time graph i drew like a striaht line and put it at 500 miles/per hour and 2.5 hours on the x and y

was the plane heavier than 1200 as a max

i drew like a horizontal line from 500 across to 2 hours 30 not diagonal just horizontal

I got 2/3 for that one

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
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^th term 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. I got 22 for the question right after
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

what was the question u got 22 on

I got x > 1.5 or x < -4

what was the question u got 22 on

is it not x<1.5 and x>-4? because the originally quadratic inequality was greater than 0

How was the last question 4.2 i got 4.5 for the scale factor and then did to the power of 2 and times 26.35.. ? I think What did I do wrong

How was the last question 4.2 i got 4.5 for the scale factor and then did to the power of 2 and times 26.35.. ? I think What did I do wrong

the length scale factor was 2.5 then you square it to get 6.25
divide 24 or whatever it was by 6.25 and u got 4.217

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

the length scale factor was 2.5 then you square it to get 6.25
divide 24 or whatever it was by 6.25 and u got 4.217
