Increase marks for part A & B OL Maths?

ddef

As the title says.
Heard off my friend today because of the difficulty of paper 1 this year theyll be boosting the marks for part a and b, is this true?

Victoria.

I don't know haven't heard that.
They'll probably decide at the conference held for correctors to review the marking scheme.
Q6c will probably be altered anyway

They could do, it's happened before - depends how many people do badly on part c. They'll just swap around marks a bit.

If it's usually 10/20/20, it could end up 15/20/15 or 15/25/10, all depends how everyone did over-all, and what the marking scheme is like/altered to

Judging by what i've seen here and the general consensus, Q1(c) will undoubtedly be altered. Way too many people came out of that exam on Friday saying they couldn't do that part of the question.

1 (c) was easy. I got full marks in the whole question. Can't say the same for some of the other C's though. If you want I could do it out here.

I agree. 1(c) was easy.

Have they done this before in OL maths? What year?

And also, I keep reading rumours of the marking scheme being changed because someones "friend" said so. We need a proper source before we get our hopes up.
