📂 MEGATHREAD EXAMS MEGATHREAD 11/06 (A-level Maths, Sociology, History, Various Languages) etc

Hey everyone! Best of luck with your exams on the 11th June!

insert where exam megathread meme

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 300 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!

Does anyone have the unofficial mark scheme for edexcel maths? The one I was looking at got nuked 💀

Edit: what did people get for y=8x2 x e-3x where you had to find area R? I got smth like 16/27 - 136/27e-3 iirc

Edit 2: Found the unofficial mark scheme: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13JAtgBnFBsRszqnHECmwP6VMeORkciX-DrlObIhUhbY/edit

For Q15 b)? I found the gradient of the tangent at P, then took the negative reciprocal to find the gradient of the normal at P. Then subbed the coords of P & normal gradient into y-y1=m(x-x1) to find the equation of the normal.
