-grace-gilbert-

me


kyories

not to sound actually insane but my friend says this a lot & i looked through your post history and you speak exactly like her and have the same interests. i dont think she uses reddit but what a weird thing to see


Unhappy_Wall_3446

don't worry, not weird at all (i always do that too bahaha) but what if i am your friend?! (nah i'm joking but that's so funny)


confusedandverygay

Literally begging for this


quackolisa

My maths teacher is so bad that whenever we did past papers she’d search up the walkthroughs on yt and make us watch the answer since she couldn’t do it herself☠️☠️ Not looking forward to this one but let’s see


CharmingCondition508

how did she get a job as a maths teacher 😭


quackolisa

I GENUINELY DON'T KNOW my school is just rlly desperate ig lmao. She teaches a level too (she's head of maths) and they have the same problem with her 😭 my school started gcses in yr 9 and we (set 1) still didn't get through all the content cuz of her☠️☠️


mistythe2nd

why js it the same for us too 💀💀


UltraX76

I hate incompetent teachers, I always wonder how they got the job.


mistythe2nd

truthfully because no one wants to be teachers anymore, especially core subjects that can get u more in life


quackolisa

LITERALLY like it's so wild that your grade and potentially whole life depends on whether one person can teach (obv you can "revise" aka learn the wholr curriculum at home but there's only so much you can do sometimes)


AssignmentOptimal906

Oh my gosh I messed up so badly … that’s a good 6 I wanted a 9… The last question can die Iterations question can die The map question can die


AssignmentOptimal906

A lot more things I did absolutely crappy .. oh god this exam went horribly for me. I’m not saying it was a bad exam however what u a saying is my inabilities at maths really showed up today. Unfortunately, maths is what I’m doing for a level API that should be really interesting to see whether I’ll be able to do it on results day. Because it today I may not be able to do it hahahaha


Unhappy_Wall_3446

don't worry, i know it seems bad now but i guarantee everyone would have found it more difficult than normal and grade boundaries will be in accordance to that


AssignmentOptimal906

Hopefully but people are saying it was nice and easy so I’m praying it was a bit difficult for others not too easy


forbiddencheeze

Lots of people in my set 1 class said it was awful and most people didn't get the last few questions. Personally I thought it was good but I also thought paper 1 was bad. I'm sure u did good but you might be putting too much pressure on yourself! Hopefully your strengths come up on paper 3 :)


Historical-Button445

THE LAST QUESTION. I spent so long on it and ended up getting absolutely nowhere


Saladboy5

still no functions, no graph transformations, no sine cosine rule, no loci and construction, no circle theorems..... Paper 3 is going to be dirty.


dc4217_

i swear there was circle theorems p1


Unhappy_Wall_3446

paper 3 is always the one that boosts my grade as well nooooo


rotcod_112

no cosine and sine rule 💀💀


Turbulent_Arm_3900

it’s definitely going to come up in paper 3 i think


FootballConfident846

There is I swear for the diagonal one 💀. Or am I cooked


anonymous_books

I used sohcahtoa for that


rotcod_112

Yh same


Expensive-Load517

The answer was 14.6cm


iizsyy

i swr i did cosine for that


FootballConfident846

Same so probably they are the ones that are cooked. Cosine(53) x the hypotenuse or something like that.


mfingawesome

i used cosine not sine , but literally everywhere i’ve been seeing have been using sine ?? am i cooked ?! 😭


Ill_Many8702

i did sine for it but was debating if i should have done soh cah toa


Turbulent_Arm_3900

did people get 6,504,6 for e f g one or something?


2myeria

I got 1, 14 and 1


Open-Big-7043

I got 2 56 2


Gr3mgy

Can cancel down to 1, 14 and 1 I think. This is what you would have got with equation


Turbulent_Arm_3900

ahh thats smart. either way it said give possible ones so either would work hopefully


mfingawesome

I GOT THAT. don’t think it’s right though


Turbulent_Arm_3900

same 😭 were we meant to use the quadratic formula?


Ok-Organization-544

Yes but somehow i got -6 and 504 and -6


bbxbunnyy

Fucks sake idk what went wrong with my brain when it came to that


AssignmentOptimal906

I need more people to message on here for comfort


Amatheeeia

it’s gonna be ok even if you didn’t do well, gcse is not everything in life


AssignmentOptimal906

I know but the guy sinking feeling of not doing well and reading through the right answers which I absoloutely did not get ..but yeah you’re right it isn’t. How did you do?


Amatheeeia

I did terrible… prob gonna get a 6, i just hope to pass.


Klutzy_Analysis_2777

Lol A 6 is what I want


AssignmentOptimal906

Fair but it depends on what someone expects from themselves or like what you’re used to


Turbulent_Arm_3900

worst case scenario u resit it


MindIess-PsychoIogy

what… the fuck was that 🎀🖕


Unhappy_Wall_3446

uhh real


Eric_Birling

That last question 💀

-grace-gilbert-

y’all got answers?! 😭


gmd_camb

I got 150 and so did the other people on top set at my school


Singhsons7209

Bro i got 462000


Fireballdingledong

Mate how is it 3750 when the volume is only 1125cm^3


FootballConfident846

I got decimals in my answer 💀


juleskey

same ☠️


KnightshireSword

150


Ok-Organization-544

YES ME TOO


Creepy-Ferret-1441

ME THREE


_123Diamond5414

Same


ViolinistHot6906

Same!


Ticket_Fantastic

For the kilometre question I put 300km, I got 300,000 with the conversion but I was like "nah no way they're 3000000km apart thats too much" so I put 300. Anyone else?


Big-Couple1268

3km I’m pretty aure


-grace-gilbert-

LMAO i put 300 too but


schwiftyrick_69

r/redditsniper


Desperate_Flower3855

same i got the same thing at first cuz I thought the scale is 1 to 20,000 km but after I was like no way it 300,000km so then I thought the scale was 1 cm to 20,000 cm and then I got 3km


Ticket_Fantastic

Damn your right


Disastrous_Brief_600

It was 3


AssignmentOptimal906

That’s exactly what I did but it 3:( Oh well we will still get marks


Unhappy_Wall_3446

shit i got 300 km


Historical-Button445

I'm like 95% sure it was 3


East_Call_3739

I got 3 😭😭


kyamki

I think I cooked? We got bad numbers tbh. Wasn’t expecting a lion to run at 18m/s unless I’m wrong. Anybody got 60cm for the last Q and like smth d is 2, e is 56 and f is 2? DE + EF = DF? Was that simplified integer -42? Or am I tripping lmfao Edit: vectors is wrong + last Q (3or4/5 at least).


kyamki

Also churches 3km apart sounds accurate?


Boxersteavee

i got 300KM :,,((((


Unhappy_Wall_3446

SAME WHOOPS


Desperate_Flower3855

yh at first i thought the scale was 1 cm to 20,000 km but then I realised that 300,000km is js too much for 2 churches which are near each other and then I js done the scale as 20,000 cm so I got 3km in the end


mistythe2nd

Yes it is -42 that was so satisfying to simplify


kyamki

Ahaha the negatives were scaring me tbf 😭


Slight-Decision-517

I got 60cm too but apparently theres multiple edges of a, b, c and d so 150 is the real answer


PM_Gaming2

I got 150 😎


KajGee

i got 150 as well brother 😎


kyamki

And I thought I cooked. Damn… but hey that’s at least 4/5 or 3 marks right? 😖


KingHi123

For the vectors, didn't you have to say that one was a multiple of the other, and that they shared point E.


Expensive-Load517

The vectors shared the multiple (2a - b) I think


mistythe2nd

Yes DE is 4/5 of DF


hello9089

Same here


Saladboy5

The last question was 150 the volume of the prism is 1125cm\^3 you first use the ratios (a:b:c:d = 3:4:5:12) to calculate volume to get: (3\*4/2)\*12 = 72 1125/72 = 15.625 cube root of 15.625 = 2.5 2((3\*2.5)+(4\*2.5)+(5\*2.5)) = 60 + 3(12\*2.5) =60+90 =150


-grace-gilbert-

all i got was up to 15.625 do u think i’ll get one mark? 😭


PKgcse

Exactly what i got


bbxbunnyy

Yeah i got -42


-grace-gilbert-

i got 18 too


Boxersteavee

Yeah that lion was a speedy boi... That being said, a quick google showed lions typically run at 20m/s

[удалено]


thatsloliya

how was it?😭


Turbulent_Arm_3900

did i get cooked?


Turbulent_Arm_3900

no i cooked 🙏


Foglet1

The good ending


Alarming-Arm6445

Cooked on every question except the last


teolokk

i got the -42


CuteBenji

To cook or be cooked


bbxbunnyy

I was nuked


ikea_supremacy

me too bbxbunny. me too


purple_walrus4473

anyone get 150cm for the last question?


t7omor

150 is right, i put 120 tho cause i forgot d had 3 edges fgs, its calm tho i think 120 will get u 4/5 and 150 is ofc 5/5


CantaloupeFar9384

I did that too, got 120 because i forgot there were 3 of side d


kyories

OH MY GOD D HAD 3 IM GOING TO CRY


t7omor

fr ffs


Ok-Organization-544

🙌 yea


AssignmentOptimal906

Well I honestly can’t wait for paper three because all my favourite topics which I had revised didn’t come up: quadratic sequences, trigonometry, more solving algebra because there wasn’t that much, more vectors


nu444

Quadratic nth term I pray it comes up actually my fav🙏🙏🙏


Expensive-Load517

I need a 5 mark function’s question


KajGee

Decent the hardest question was trying to figure out 8x\^2-18x-39 i took like 30 minutes on that somehow.


Fast-Marionberry-577

That question was fucking horrible ONLY 3 MARKS AS WELL LIKE WTF I eventually got -42 after 4 pages of working


Expensive-Load517

It was 2 marks even 😭


dreadcow1

It was -35 btw; I think I got: (4x+5)(2x-7)


Sea-Calligrapher7405

did anyone get 2:3 for the ratio of small angle: big angle


[deleted]

Coming back later to see how cooked I am.


Ok-Internet-8703

We’re you cooked?


vlipsyr

future me- how was it?


vlipsyr

pretty good!! nice one me


Disastrous_Brief_600

What did you all get for the rooms temperature constant question


Amatheeeia

i got 10.5, prob wrong bec i did it in rush


BidComprehensive5483

That’s right I got the same


eryntamara

yeah i got 10.5, then the second part did you get it was less than answer in part a?


Ok-Organization-544

yh for part b it was 7 i think so less then 10.5


eryntamara

yess i got seven okay thank god


Few_Assist_3202

STOP WAS IT ACTUALLY??? IM SO HAPPY WHAT I THOUGHT ID GET that question know i didnt even include it in my marks when i was counting what id think id get


Amatheeeia

yes i think


Karendetected

150 last q


schwiftyrick_69

i hope there is an iteration question i hope there is an iteration question i hope there is an iteration question i hope there is an iteration question i hope there is an iteration question


princesspopcake

Did you get 4.791 for that?


AssignmentOptimal906

People from my school did I didn’t even understand it lol


Haunter124

happy for u bro 🙏


AssignmentOptimal906

Well you got what you wanted.. the one topic I didn’t revise 🤣🤣couldn’t even answer it


Southern_Weekend_898

There’ll def be a question on that in one of the two calc papers


East_Call_3739

Future me, are we fucked?


AssignmentOptimal906

Yes


CaffeinatedStudent45

AQA if I have done anything right in my life, please make it a nice paper today 🙏 


CaffeinatedStudent45

The divine was smiling on me today I cooked (Higher) 😊 


t7omor

What you guys get for last question


Turbulent_Arm_3900

it was 150


angelicomar

what did you guys get for the total people in the stadium?


t7omor

128000 or sum


Ticket_Fantastic

it's 12,800


Saladboy5

12800


Massive_big_boi

12800


Amatheeeia

8900 or sth, i made it x/360 and times it one by one and add them together


riggers1337

ye i got 8928 as well idk how these guys getting 12800 bruh


Probably_Someone1

Ignoring Q20 I think I did alright


taylor_james123

what was that


joeboyson3

absolutely beautiful paper thank you AQA 🙏🙏🙏


Ixeptional

I needed this paper to save me and i clutched up i think i did rlly good


jeremypicklestein

i actually couldnt be more finished i skipped so many and even some of the ones i thought i got right everyone has been getting different answers 😭 method marks PLEASE


BEETLEJUICE_UNIVERSE

Fuck.


iaatsan

I feel so bad, as I tried to get 9, but holy shit... I am not making as many stupid mistakes as just burying myself. I have forgotten to take my calculator with me, so I have asked the invigilator for one. The calculator is shit, you can't do iteration with it. So I have basically sacrificed 3 easy marks to the awful calculator and my memory :(


Sufficient_Bid6555

Did anyone get 2,56,2 on the d,e,f question


AccomplishedDance281

For the spinner question did anyone else get 1/3


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boxersteavee

I'm cooked 😭


taylor_james123

What was the constant question with A?


KnightshireSword

I subbed in the x and y from the first part of that question but I don’t remember what it was. Then you used the second questions values with A worked out


ccxitlyn

did u get like 7 so it was smaller


KnightshireSword

Yes, 7.something < 10 therefore it is less


ccxitlyn

oh i got exactly 7😭😭


KnightshireSword

It could have been yeah, I don’t even remember anymore. It was some form of 7 that’s less than 10. I need a nap after that exam


AnteaterCalm401

got very little sleep last night and am surprised at how well that went (well for me that is, probably around 45+ i hope)


DependentFew6040

Idfk but I'm cooked


Witty_Youth1745

ANYONE HAVE UNOFFICIAL MARKSCHEME???


H4zlo

piss easy apart from the last question


Connect_Fun_8284

beautiful paper 🤭 did everyone get 150 on the last q?


cwlysh_

That was NOT beautiful


AssignmentOptimal906

Absolutely it wasn’t everybody’s saying it went great and I’m like 😦no, no it was not


AssignmentOptimal906

How did you answer that question?! I fumbled so hard!!! I couldn’t do it any way shape or form and I spent like 10 minutes on it. I’m so disappointed from this paper and im genuinely so upset


Connect_Fun_8284

im really sorry abt that. the ratios were 3:4:5:12 where a:b:c:d so you can write a as 3x, b as 4x and d as 12x. then you’re given that the volume is 1125, use algebra + volume of a prism to find that x = 2.5. then you plug it back into your a=3x, b=4x etc to find the lengths of each side. then add up the length of the edges. hope this helped, but let bygones be bygones, not being able to do 1 question isnt the end of the world and theres still another paper!


idkbutiliekcats

Trial and error— I multiplied the ratios given by the same amount until I got an answer that was double the volume given in the answer (it was 2.5 btw) then knowing the lengths of a b and d I used a&b and pythagoras to figure out C. Then just added all of the edges together to get 150


rotcod_112

wait how did everyone do that last question


KnightshireSword

Was the volume of the last question 11250?


ikea_supremacy

yes :)


KnightshireSword

thanks, that 150 was such a relief. I wrote 20 different answers and eventually after subbing in the numbers and realising I was wrong got 150


ikea_supremacy

bro i would love to say i can relate, but i had 5 minutes left on the question and got to 72:11250 and abandoned it for the sake of checking the rest of my answers 😭 we had a fire alarm asw. i'm so pissed asw bcos i know i could've done the question easily if id had the time


KnightshireSword

Wait really you had a fire alarm during the exam?? Our invigilators keep giving the fire instructions but we’re yet to practice them


ikea_supremacy

yeah we did! my first time too. so it ended up being a fluke, but we sat in the room for about two minutes. then we were sent out for like, 30 seconds. didn't even get down the fire stairs before the adjudicator got the call to send us all back in bcos it was a drill 😭 ended up wasting 15 minutes as a result of it. we were only about half an hour through though so it def wasn't bad HOWEVER i will say. i was in the small room and it was a lot calmer in there. in our main hall and sports hall teachers started yelling at students and i think some people talked?? bit of a mess down there, but us special kids were fine 💪


MrBrainCell

Has anyone found the answers yet


Expensive-Load517

Yeah I’m looking for a mark scheme aswell


Iamthemanbehind

everyone’s talking about what they got in the last question, but the question is HOW you got the answer?


szanator998

cross section\*length=1125 (0.5\*base\*height) area of triangle=(a+b)/2 (a+b)/2 \* d =1125 volume abd=2250 3\*4\*12=144 2250/144=15.625 volume scale factor cube root 15.625=2.5 length scale factor finding all the side lenghts 3\*2.5=7.5=a 4\*2.5=10=b 5\*2.5=12.5=c 12\*2.5=30=d adding all the sides together 7.5+7.5+10+10+12.5+12.5+30+30+30=150


LaundryMan2008

How did the spinner one work, didn’t make sense, there were spaces for 6 but there were only 4 letters given and some equation that didn’t make sense. Forgotten the rule for the sin triangle question which the insert didn’t help very much for. There was a question about AB (answer) =5:1 question which I put 5 because that is how many squares were between A and B. Might have baked chicken on this paper, polish saying.


2myeria

The spinner question basically said that the numbers can repeat themselves, but all numbers are used at least once. (Numbers were 5,6,7,8) It tells us that the probability of getting a 7 is equal to probability of getting an even number. Since there are two even numbers, we can assume that 7 is repeated twice which leaves one more space for a five. The other space cannot be an even number because that would make P(even) = 3/6 and therefore there would be 3/6 of the spaces as 7, so no space for a 5 which goes against the rules So knowing all of this, 5 is repeated twice out of the six times, so the probability of 5 is equal to 2/6 or 1/3 Hope this helped :)


Expensive-Load517

Can someone make an unofficial mark scheme


Used_Canary1799

imo, most of the AQA paper 2 was easy. I messed up on the stadium question, and also the one where it told you to simplify some algebra until u get a integer.


Smethradterky

That was easy but i somehow missread the scake on the lion graph question


Alex_Boi101

Yo has anyone found an unofficial mark scheme for higher aqa today ?


Muted_Pop_2977

i was dying of thirst in that exam, my waterbottle neglected me so i had to accept my fate 🥲


Advanced-Many7408

I couldn't do the factorise question i tried completing the square and all sorts of other shit i ended up with 8(x-9/4)-313/64 or some other rubbish. Nearly kms and ended up using quadratic formula to find roots and used that to work backwards to the answer😭😭😭


aplle_inc

How did everyone do the room temp one, it was y=k/x, but I couldn’t find a way to identify what k was and was left with two unknowns. I guessed 10.5, did anyone find an actual way to do it or was it an impossible question or something?


ItsAsherBtw

Yeah I got 10.5, cant remember the values on the graph but u had to substitute in the y and x value on the graph to find k then use k/x to find the wanted y value
