By the way, i lost around 8 marks in p1 and 5 marks in p2,would it be a*


How was it? :)

Everyone has probably done paper 2 already (including the people in america at this time :P)

Paper 1, i thought it was okay. Lost about 11/80 marks in total (relative velocity + last EITHER question)

Paper 2, easy peasy. Lost 3/80 marks so far for two log questions aha, stupid careless mistakes. But I couldn't find anymore mistakes. Very happy with this paper otherwise.

Hope that should be enough for an a*.

Also, grade boundaries? Gonna be high or low this year?

But overall I'm happy i survived add maths, and no more maths for at lease a few more months :), and next year gonna be much easier for us.

how did u get that,what did u get for part 1


Saiki

you were asked to find the x-cordinate...

you cant actually have x....

i got

2/(e-1) or something like that

it sed find the x-coordinate in terms of x

i think you lost around 12 marks which would still be an a* given that u dont make any more mistakes


Paper 1, i messed up in the conversion to linear graph...i messd up on the velue of k... so obviously my next part is also gonna be wrong.... and in paper 2, i messd up on the second binomial expansion... i added instead of subtracting...and that 9 mark question i really did somethng stupid... i got -4 and -8 for the x-coordinates but for the y-coordinates i dont know what i did wrong, so also my midpoint is wrong... but got the gradient of the perpendicular as 0.5, which im hoping is right!!! stupid careless mistakes... if someone could please estimate how many marks i've lost so far out of the 160, i would be greatful!!!
