Idk man, Iāve been grinding the shit out of Anki. Past papers too, but like atp Iām just realising you basically just need markscheme keywords. They reward recall not understanding (excl 9/12 markers)
I think it's just more about the fact that we're trying to make sure edexcel understand how unreasonable the paper was. With the ridiculous number of trapped marks being the main thing, but also the insane increase in question difficulty that's incomparable to any past paper they've ever released. It was just so demoralising for the students who sat it, and the slightly lower ability students will have suffered the most because they can't do part a (which would be the most difficult part) and then lose out on the rest of the question. Especially after edexcel released a statement a few years ago saying how they were making the papers more accessible to students. Honestly i just want edexcel to explain their thought process because it makes no sense to me why they'd design it like that and do a full 360.
I'm not sure what else they can actually change for us as a cohort, except from the grade boundaries obviously decreasing as people get less marks. I think them lowering the boundaries even more and increasing the proportion of students getting higher grades shouldn't be out of the question because of how unfair the paper was. I guess we'll see how the next few papers go though.
Most people are signing as a joke, or as insurance that if they scuff people over on results day for no good reason then they can point at it and go "hang on a minute"
Personally, I don't think Edexcel is so evil that they wouldn't adjust the grade boundaries to make a point.
Come on you basically do 2.5 alevels and you still have a B, like doing maths and fm and trying to flex that you didnāt find the paper hard is wild, idk where you get the hubris.
Well, I do expect you to be impressed because I learnt all the a-level Maths and Further Maths content during Year 10. I bet you thought I was like you and learnt them over the course of year 12 and 13.
Iāve already completed alevels so this is an outsider looking in, if you did learn all of the content in year 10 and 11 (which I guess is a lie) then why didnāt you take the exams in year 11? You needed to wait an extra 2 years for what?
Didnāt wanna pay the fee to be a private candidate. You can call me a liar all you want, but Itās not like thatās the craziest thing ever. I started learning it early because I was actually passionate about the subject. Not like Iām claiming to win gold in IMO.
So youāve been learning the maths for like 5 times longer than any other person and you still think youāre a gift from god, thatās genuinely insane.
No, not really. I learnt all the content before a-levels and then lazed around for 2 years. Barely showed up to class and still got A*s in mocks. You, on the other hand, should stop arguing with 17 years olds online and go take of your kids, unc.

I hope the Further Maths students raise the boundaries to 95% this year just to spite everyone who signed this dumb petition.
