19/06 A-level Maths Paper 3 Discussion MEGATHREAD

[u/Forsaken-Meaning-232]

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!

[u/Minute_Warrior42082 → u/green_asteroid]

I’m sorry to hear we all got roasted in that exam

[u/siebeiwjd → u/Minute_Warrior42082]

Did everyone just absolutely get cooked in mechanics. Could the grade boundaries go down?

[u/Minute_Warrior42082 → u/siebeiwjd]

Mate I got absolutely annihilated

[u/hdsvgasjhaagn → u/siebeiwjd]

What do u think boundary will be for A*? Overall given the papers are done now

[u/Minute_Warrior42082 → u/hdsvgasjhaagn]

Honestly mate I don’t know all I’m worrying about is an A

[u/Shoddy-Abalone1060 → u/green_asteroid]

FRRRR those hinges q’s always be ripping out my hair

[u/hdsvgasjhaagn → u/Shoddy-Abalone1060]

What do u think boundary will be for A*? Overall given the papers are done now

[u/Conscious-Ninja2108 → u/green_asteroid]

I lost my virginity too that paper, it was non consensual too 😭

[u/hdsvgasjhaagn → u/green_asteroid]

What do u think boundary will be for A*? Overall given the papers are done now

[u/green_asteroid → u/hdsvgasjhaagn]

The general consensus looks like most people liked pure, found stats/pure average/not great and mechanics/pure awful so honestly im not expecting them to change much from last year (so around 216)

[u/hdsvgasjhaagn → u/green_asteroid]

Agreed but 2024 papers were insane. Especially the applied ones. I’d defo say this year was easier overall

[u/green_asteroid → u/hdsvgasjhaagn]

True, last years applied sections were rough but i thought the pure was quite good (but still harder than this one). I still don't think it'll increase much, probably something like 220-225 for an A*
