How did everyone find the exam then?

I didn't sit it myself, but I have been tutoring my girlfriend for the past few weeks after the school told her she shouldn't sit it. I'm confident she will get a solid B, if not an A. (Lol and thats me being realistic! )

I haven't saw a copy of the paper yet myself, so if anyone has one could they please scan it or something for me? I'm eager to have a look at it!

Also, last year a highschool maths dept got some worked solutions to the exam up pretty quickly - just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere with them this year?

Thanks a lot =)

Overall I was really pleased. Paper 1 was great. Multi choice was pretty straight forward. The extended answer had a few tricks but overall delighted with Paper 1. Paper 2 was pretty good aswell except bit of trouble with the last 2 questions. Hoping for some answers up here soon aswell

I Think I Got All Of The Multiple Choice Correct As I Had The Same As My Teacher After The Exam.

Maybe Only Lost One Or Two Marks In The Whole Of Paper One.


Couldnt Do 6a) Got Half The Co-ordinate of Q In 6B) and Number Seven Was Hard. I got 98/3 sq. units
What did everyone else get?

I Still Think I achieved Enough Marks To Get An A. Well Heres Hoping

I found paper 1 was okay too, but I thought paper 2 was a lot harder, especially the last two questions - I'm hoping for a B.

[spoony2oo8]

I Was Actually Half Way Through Paper 2 And Thought To Myself "Oh, This Is Quite Good Not Really Been An Overly Difficult Logs or Integration Sum Yet"

Then That Beast Of A Last Question Appeared

[cobainfan]

Paper 1 was comparitively easy. Paer 2 was also OK, except for the very last question

[antollo]

i thought paper 1 was quite good, however paper 2 will have brought me down

does anyone remember what their answers were for the whole thing? or any parts of it

[DanCoull]

Lol not really. Ive blanked the whole exam, but think I might of just got a B. The only answer i remeber is B for the very 1st question

[DanCoull]

actually i think is was C :S it was 8.7 for the recurance relation

[antollo]

sounds like a good idea to forget about it:P

i got C for question 1tho I think =/

did anyone else get x=2 in paper one q.23 part b?

its been annoying me all morning lol

[DanCoull]

ye i think it was C. was that the one about functions and logs? cause i think i got x = 2 aswell

[Allan_r_123]

Lol I was desperate to sit it this year :s lol just out of curioisty i guess hehe

Has no-one got a copy yet still? Or any solutions online?

[antollo]

ye thats the one

woo i feel better now knowing someone else got that, everyone I spoke to got something completly different

[DanCoull]

yeah everyone ive spoken to got different answers but even if the answer aint right im hoping to pick up alot of marks for working cause im sure we got close. anyone got any rough ideas on cuts off scores? need a B for uni so im a bit paranoid

[antollo]

i mite be able to copy my paper later, but it will be full of all my scribbles =/ :L

[Allan_r_123]

I would be really grateful if you could antollo. Just so I could go over it with my girlfriend and see how shes maybe done, and could even post up my version of answers here for you guys to compare

[DanCoull]

[neep]
