are you mad?
it was already 75% last year which was harder than this year and it was still rising due to it having gone down in covid.
a 9 will be 90% if we are lucky
pipe down, it’s not gna happen trust 🙏 we’re still covid dispensation yr officially according to JCQ and governmental rules. this (along with the fact that we didn’t do sats) is the reason that papers this yr r much easier and grade boundaries won’t skyrocket 😭 bro i beg take the win 🙏

this is why ppl should not get too worried over grade boundaries for most subjects anyways. since quite a few subjects are having/about to have specification changes, along with the fact that we’re the last covid yr, grade boundaries won’t go up that high…they’ll go up a little bit but they won’t skyrocket xx

Btw I think the last question is length of car unfortunately cuz I saw a similar question on pmt 💀

but how would it be the length of the car if speed is distance / time, wouldn't it be the distance travelled by the car?(length of the track)???

Literally yes. Length of car is fake it doesn't make sense it doesn't matter how long the car is

I put length of the car because the light cate was only in one place so thats how it measures distance travelled. Length of track is irrelevant because there was no way for it to measure time when the car set off

Bro its literally speed=distance/time. Why would the length of the car even matter its not applicable to any equaytion. Stop gaslighting yourself 😭 it was the last two options

The one which said time taken to reach thr stop/light, and the total distance travelled by the car

For the 6 mark question I forgot the square the extension so I worked out the energy as 2.4, so I got 9.6 instead of 2.6. The rest of my method was correct apart from the beginning how many marks do u think I got with error carry forward? 3-4/5?

Probably 4
