Looking at this im losing 12-13 marks.

7 on Q8
5 on Q9 (i b)
1 on Q9 (ii b)

I thought i would make it to a 90% easily before the exam now i would be lucky if only i get an A :'( :'( :'(

That is exactly what I have lost looking at the mark scheme :( and was getting 90% in every past paper I had done.....maybe grade boundaries will be low, thats what happened for last years C1 and C2, harder than usual you had to around 50's for an A.......but it is still not a comfort :(
