A lot of people were complaining about the revision class question with the 3 schools.
Really! I find that quite easy! It's was 42, 21, and 14 as there were 77 Students I think? I struggled at first with that question but then it clicked , yeah there were a lot of similar questions

So glad trail and improvement came up, easy 4 marks

Yeah, that's what I said. You just had to divide it, to find the total number of students.

Trial and Improvement always comes up. Although, I was surprised it came up as the 2nd question. Usually it comes up about halfway through the paper. Could possibly indicate this paper was designed to be harder?

I was a bit annoyed there wasn't much about Similar Shapes, Pythagoras, and Trigonometry, as there's always a good few of those in the Calculator exams.

I feel proud because I taught my class Histograms, this morning, right before the exam, and there was a whole section dedicated to it in the exam, which was worth about 6 marks.

Well done! Yeah I looked over them last night! Which helped me get a lot more marks! Yes the paper seemed quite different, surprised that ratio was the first question then Trail and I'm... Defo designed to be harder, they launched into it straight away! Maybe it will have low grade boundaries like paper 1. Yeah there were to many similar topics.

I predict this years boundaries are something like this:

A* - 162/200
A - 130/200
B - 90/200
C - 52/200
D - 25/200

I hope that's the case but isn't the lowest an A* has ever been 164? Would they really drop the boundary even more?

Yh, that was my concern.
It may still be 164.

I'm pretty certain about the B/C/D grades though.
I think they may be like that.
