How did everyone find the maths gcse paper today (2nd June) edexcel higher?

Question

I found it alot easier that i thought i would and am guessing the grade boundaries will be relitively high.

What was the answer to the question that said find a formula in terms of x for the quadrilateral question, i put something along the lines of 5x+60 but i think i got it wrong.

The other one was the mass question, I put 302, is that right?

Answer 1

yeah i put 302 for the mass question. For that formula i put 5x+60=360...you reckon id still get the mark

Answer 2

hi i did foundation cbac and had way to much time to do it i ahd about 3/4 of an hour left !!! i just hope i went over everything enough good luck for the rest of your exams hope you do well !!!

Answer 3

i got 302 for the mass one and 5x+60=360 for the other one.

personally i thought the question was badly written, or im just an idiot

Answer 4

I found it really hard! The other one was so much better.. The weird thing is I got the hard questions right but the easy ones wrong..

I got 5x+60 too, but I went over it with our maths teacher today, and she said it was 5x+60=360, so do you think we'll get the mark for it?

Also adding up the ones Im sure I put I got 65% which is a B, and that made me so happy!, thinking i did better on the other paper, and considering I got an A in my coursework hopefully Ill be able to get a B..

Do you how many marks the coursework is counted for?

Answer 5

The coursework is marked out of 50 I believe, with the maximum score you can get from both pieces 48 (24 on each piece) then they add 2 extra marks for spelling and written communication.

Answer 6

i got 5x+60 too i think :) cnt rememebr the mass one tho :S

Answer 7

Yeeah i put 5x+60

Thats right by the way :)

I actually didnt know how to do the mass question. But i think i ended up guessing and put something like that....:\

the paper overall was okay, but non calc was better

xx

Answer 8

i got both those answers

Answer 9

For the 5x+60 one cant you bring the sixth over as it asked you to give it in terms of x, so therefore it would surely be just 5x=300?

Answer 10

i think i put the same for the 5x=60 thing but i cant really remember - i was really pleased that i got the last question - find a and k, i got 1.4 and 5 - cant remember which was which! =]

i think i also got 302 for the mass one - it was 0.6 (the density multiplied by the volume found above)

i found it quite easy, and also the non-calculator on may 19th was ok too.. =]

Answer 11

Same same here.  And I'm so so so glad that someone else got 1.4 and 5!!  No one from my class got the same answer as me!

And also, my friend said the mark scheme is on the website, for the non-calc paper.  Anyone heard about this?
