Edexcel IGCSE Mathematics A Higher Tier paper 2 - 4th June 2025 [Exam Chat]

I know it's a bit silly to ask a revision forum how many marks they got as this is likely the top 40% at least, but what does everyone think they got? I counted at the end and pretty sure I dropped 24-26 ish marks. I think my total marks are going to be around 150. I'm pretty disappointed because I ruined the orange counters question overthinking. I couldn't do the graph at the end. Nor the pyramid or algebraic equation. I think I was panicking because the numbers were getting so big and I couldn't cancel down. On my past papers I've been getting mid 80s in marks. Quadratics were all dead easy.

i think i dropped 4 marks (worst case) in paper 2 and then only 1 in paper 1. i don't think i mad any silly errors. i should by at around 195/200 which i am happy with

Just having another think. Regarding the bounds question, why did people get 90? I know I said I thought it was 90 but I've been thinking again and I'm positive it was to two significant figures, which is 89

Same i’m really confused how people got 90 i got 86.5 but i’m not sure what i did wring

do we get to know the individual marks for paper 1 and 2 or just the overall mark

bro, how do u even do tht ques?? Can u explain the steps so tht i can check if i got SOMETHING right...i never hv seen a question like tht n i did almost ALL past pprs...
wht i did was, X is (total area) - (square area) neh, so i found total area upper bound and square area lower bound and substracted and THAT answer i wrote as 3 s.f.(in hindsight, i used 3 s.f. cuz i thought we can use ANY value of accuracy...

A suitable degree of accuracy is the lowest number that both the lower and upper bound round to. In this case it was 90 because the numbers were too far apart to round any more and be the same

Think I have got 100 unless I made any small silly mistakes 🤞
Venn diagram was 16 then 18/43
Pyramid was 2.92
Final q was like 937.5 or something close to that
Degree of accuracy was 90 to 1.s.f
Let me know if any of you have any questions.

what did everyone get for the square-based pyramid question - 2.92 or 5.78

Do we get marks if we round it up and write it as 3??

overall unless you pay to get your paper back
