subz3r0 how did you get 5 and a half for 3. (a)?

Substitute 7 for t.

((7) - 1)x = 2 - 5(7)
6x = -33
x = -5.5

I hope I didn't go wrong catastrophically somewhere!

Namlub

Nah I got the same

Cruel Sun

i got that too

I'm so delighted with the paper.

Hoping for my A1.

Went through my teachers answers about 20 minutes after the exam and everything she wrote seemed to match. Except for one thing that she made a mistake at!
Haha what a laugh.

6 - 4i + 3u = 5i
3u = -6 + 9i
u = -2 + 3i

If it was -33/6 it would, but if it was just 33/6, you would loose a mark.

23 = 3 + 10t
23 - 3 = 10t
20 = 10t

Really weird paper.
Hope paper two is easy enough.
What would I need to aim for in paper two so that with what was a hrad paper one (guesing 60ish %) I can get a c3??
Anybody any good tips or sites for project maths??

Just keep getting familiar with the project maths layout by doing sample papers should help.

How did you take pictures in the exam?

I wrote the answers into my exam paper and brought the paper home with me. I took them just a few minutes ago.

Are your answers all right

LoonyLovegood

That was a vile paper. I reckon I passed it, but not by much. UGH! There's my A gone out the window.

As I said at the start of my post most of them should be but obviously I don't know. May be a few wrong answers in Part Cs

Zomg Okay

Not happy at all. Between grinds and getting the head down I did all the questions on Paper 1 in previous years and when I went over them I remembered how I did most of them. Was confident of a B or so going in, which would be quite an accomplishment for someone of my (lack of) mathematical ability.

Went into the exam and thought a lot of it didn't look anything like any of the previous years questions. Might have just been me but... :mad:

Also pissed off about Q.1 (b). When did understanding electricity bills become part of the syllabus? My parents handle all that, I've never so much as seen past the cover of the electricity metre outside. :rolleyes:

Showed my parents the bill question and they were like 'Ah sure that's easy'...yeah, when you've had like 30 years to familiarise yourself with the electricity billing system.

My dad made me go out to check the metre for the bill like 2 weeks ago, what're the chances?

I'm in the exact same boat, I have never seen alot of it in my life despite doing all the past paper 1's like yourself.

I feel like I'm after wasting my parents money on grinds now, unless Paper 2 is really kind, its such a **** feeling.

I was just pointing out the obvious contradiction in his/her statement. I couldn't care less what level he/she does, calm the head.
