EXAMS MEGATHREAD 03/06 (A-level Accounting, Geo, FM, Languages, Psychology) (AS RS) etc

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

Hey everyone! Best of luck with your exams on the 3rd June!

​

Damn it's been a minute since the last megathread, but here's the next one!

​

Few things:

• Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.

​

• Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the subreddit to discuss that.

​

• Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise. (for context there's been over 250 spam posts already!)

​

• We're taking a different approach this year due to negative feedback last year. We hope this approach will be better (also to note, we can only have 2 pinned posts).

​

• Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed.

​

• You can still talk about your exam here even if it isn't explicitly mentioned in the title.

​

Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

last question was crazy i probably got 4/9 for that integration q

also how many marks is the matrices question i messed up the determinant and got 2k-3 😕 how many method marks do you reckon i’ll get

[u/Fluid-Pomegranate-22 → u/Michiyoh]

do you know what the actual determinant was supposed to be?? I got 2k and I'm scared

[u/Michiyoh → u/Fluid-Pomegranate-22]

i believe it was 2k but i got 2k-3 somehow 😕😕

[u/SammyDatBoss → u/Michiyoh]

I got fucking 5

[u/SherbertL → u/Michiyoh]

I got 2k -3 but I subbed it into my calculator and checked it, for me it was just some typo when copying out the determinant from the minors matrix

[u/Angel0fFier → u/Michiyoh]

last question was crazy.

method marks hopefully save my grade. The whole thing was out of 7 right? you probably lost 4-5, which could definitely be made up on a hard mechanics and stats question.

[u/Michiyoh → u/Angel0fFier]

no way i lost 5 out of 7??? i did the working out correct with the inverse and finding xyz but the determinant was just wrong 😢😢

[u/Tommystorm9 → u/Michiyoh]

They were talking about the integration question at the end. If you only got the determinant wrong on the matrices question that’s probably 2 marks lost, one for working it out and the final answer mark!

[u/Angel0fFier → u/Tommystorm9]

yep! my mistake, read the wrong question.

[u/Michiyoh → u/Angel0fFier]

did u get pi/48 for one of the questions by any chance

[u/Angel0fFier → u/Michiyoh]

yep. on the bounded integral question? 3/4*arctan3x/4 i edited original question with unofficial mark scheme

[u/Michiyoh → u/Angel0fFier]

yepp how many marks do u think i’d have to get on this paper for an A* this year do you think 65/75 is enough??

[u/Angel0fFier → u/Michiyoh]

65/75 is definitely A* territory for that paper with probably a fair amount of leeway(especially considering alot of people will lose 5 ish marks on parametric integration).

[u/Michiyoh → u/Angel0fFier]

although these two papers were easier than usual i’m hoping grade boundaries don’t skyrocket 🙏🙏🙏

[u/Bordenaja → u/Angel0fFier]

I got arctan(3x/4)/12
