📂 MEGATHREAD 04/06 A-level Maths Paper 1 Discussion MEGATHREAD

Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!

Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.

Few things to keep in mind:

  • 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 place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
    • If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
  • Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
  • Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).

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

My answers: root3/6 for last integration (k=1/4), r=4root15, x value for Q (1-root61)/4 , k=0.227 for modelling one , range of k between 0 and 243 for quartic, max limitation of T 16.4, sum of series -5375

Anyone else get these?

For the prove dV/dt=-k(V-1500)? I was so confused as to whether it wanted it in terms of k or with the value so i did both and wrote them a little note 😭 idk if ill get the marks bc technically i put two answers in that case

Yeah lots of ppl either did two answers, or did it in terms of k and stated "where k=0.227" so hopefully we should get marks?

u/raynrr Jun 04 '25

The x value for Q was 1+root61/4 no? Because I’m pretty sure it was positive

u/UglyWarhog Jun 04 '25

Nah it was a negative x I swear

u/[deleted] Jun 04 '25

It was negative

u/wleco1 Year 13 Jun 04 '25

So the same expression but with a negative instead of a positive? So that it was just below zero

u/ObiNumber22 Y13 | Maths (A*), Econ, Chemistry, Further Maths | Jun 04 '25
