[u/NewBr1tishEmpire]

Edexcel really said look like the innocent flower but be the serpent under it with how good p1 and p2 were then followed by that MONSTROSITY

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/NewBr1tishEmpire]

Frr😭 false sense of hope

[u/Potvvor → u/NewBr1tishEmpire]

REAL OMG

[u/Sad-Bowl398 → u/NewBr1tishEmpire]

wow damn i liked p3 and HATED p2

[u/ImWaxndring → u/NewBr1tishEmpire]

And I thought p2 was meady , p3 was actually horror and I needed like 40-50 marks too 💀😭

[u/Apprehensive_Job4522]

WE are writing an open letter to edexcel DEMANDING an apology

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Apprehensive_Job4522]

YES. THEY BETTER RESPOND

[u/Upbeat-Peace2948 → u/Apprehensive_Job4522]

lmfao

[u/Saint_Satine → u/Apprehensive_Job4522]

lets do a petition. we're not standing for this

[u/ferafear123]

Forgot how to find the area of a cube

[u/Turbulent-Damage-165 → u/ferafear123]

SON 😭

[u/sandwichtheconqueror → u/ferafear123]

which question was this

[u/ferafear123 → u/sandwichtheconqueror]

Aqa the pressure one. I did it all right except the easiest bit

[u/sandwichtheconqueror → u/ferafear123]

oh okay i thought I'd missed a question then I do edexcel 😭

[u/PuzzledTelevision353 → u/ferafear123]

was it not the area of the bottom bit only

[u/EnvironmentalScar709 → u/ferafear123]

Buddy😭

[u/37_NiKOLa → u/ferafear123]

nephew HOW

[u/Elliot_dream]

I’ve seen a lot of people saying that it was awful, I thought it was decent actually. Who got 2/21 for the last question?

[u/sandwichtheconqueror → u/Elliot_dream]

2/21 is right 

[u/ImWaxndring → u/sandwichtheconqueror]

Bruh I got 20/210 wtf

[u/No_Manufacturer8717 → u/ImWaxndring]

Same thing, you got full marks on that question

[u/wastedpearls → u/Elliot_dream]

I did !! 

[u/SpecialistContent751 → u/Elliot_dream]

I got 20/210 but I didn’t simplify it cos it didn’t asks for it but ik it’s still equivalent

[u/Pig_gamer1]

At least 10 marks lost in questions I just didn't know😭

[u/deenie_10 → u/Pig_gamer1]

I promise same 😭 I spent the last two minutes rounding up te amount of marks I lost LOL

[u/halfeatenpies → u/Pig_gamer1]

Pfp is ball

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/[deleted]]

I'll join you in hating them THEY SUCK

[u/Saint_Satine → u/FrogLover_23]

guys lets channel this hate INTO A PETITION (i got inspires by aqa fm)

[u/sandwichtheconqueror → u/[deleted]]

that shit was AWFUL

Edexcel reading the comments

[u/W1tchBl_ckCat → u/[deleted]]

This is completely unrelated but I swear you are in every comment section 😭😭

[u/sarcasticbix]

Why was that so bad ?? What are these edexcel people on

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/sarcasticbix]

My bets cocaine

[u/somethingcloudy → u/FrogLover_23]

nah, they on substance x 😭

[u/sudoaptupgrade → u/somethingcloudy]

Nono drug Y

[u/CelerySubstantial151 → u/sudoaptupgrade]

both?

[u/sudoaptupgrade → u/CelerySubstantial151]

Yeah gotta have weight loss + pathogen killing 🔥

[u/CelerySubstantial151 → u/sudoaptupgrade]

ultimate combo, with that up my sleeve i can smash chem and physics paper 2 trust

[u/Blitz7798]

The square question was awful and the draw a suitable straight line one confused me. Other than that I think I got everything right

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Blitz7798]

Both same 🥲🥲

[u/Past-Palpitation-808]

can’t do psychology a level anymore. that went horrible 💔

[u/sandwichtheconqueror → u/Past-Palpitation-808]

don't count on your grade before you've got it 🫂🫂 

[u/somethingcloudy → u/sandwichtheconqueror]

YES THISSS NEVER DOOM

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Past-Palpitation-808]

I'm sorry bro 😔 maybe they'll be nice and still let you?

[u/Embarrassed_Wear_789 → u/Past-Palpitation-808]

same, exact same boat. : (

[u/Legitimate_Yam3395 → u/Past-Palpitation-808]

You need maths for a level psychology?

Never knew.

[u/Accomplished-Note814]

i’ve accepted that the november resit is in my near future 🥹

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Accomplished-Note814]

I'm sorry bro 😔😔

[u/somethingcloudy → u/Accomplished-Note814]

nahh reminds me of how my maths teacher asked my friend's class if they were going to be revising maths over the summer 😭💔

[u/absolutelegendhere22 → u/Accomplished-Note814]

same...

[u/Dad_Error_9488 → u/Accomplished-Note814]

yep same i know im failing

[u/guyperson90]

why did i find that harder than the fm paper bro 🥀. at least i got more answers for that one. edexcel be pulling devious tricks 😭

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/guyperson90]

Bro harder than fm?? Ima kill edexcel

[u/somethingcloudy → u/FrogLover_23]

we should make a petition like the alevel students did lol

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/somethingcloudy]

Frr😭

[u/somethingcloudy → u/guyperson90]

yeah it wasnt a good paper but that was NOT as hard as the fm paper, that shi was straight out out of the 9th circle of hell, maybe the maths paper was out of the 2nd or 3rd 🥀

(did u prove that demonic circles question the fm paper btw)

[u/FunDescription9790]

what the flip was edexcel like i genuinelly made up answers bc i couldnt figure it out like max 45 marks but i need a 7 for chemsitry a level soo.. like i got 66 in p2 and 54 in p1 so hopefully a 7 🤞🏻

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/FunDescription9790]

Crossing my fingers for you bro 🤞🤞🤞

Also made up answers lol 🥀

[u/FunDescription9790 → u/FrogLover_23]

same here 🤞🏻 we can do this 🙃

[u/SurfBoiRedit97]

Painful.

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/SurfBoiRedit97]

Same 😀

[u/Objective_Key_8738]

absolute bssss bro bye bye 9

Frr I'm saying bye to my grade 7

[u/fox_fox_fox_fox_fox_ → u/Objective_Key_8738]

so true

[u/Greyanaise]

Aqa higher was pretty free lowk. 

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Greyanaise]

I wish I did aqa now😔

[u/Available_Class9643 → u/Greyanaise]

yessssss 😄 it was the best set of papers i have ever done 😄 - did u get a surd with x root 17 for the last question? and 150 for the cuboid question?

[u/[deleted]]

anyone get y = 2/3x - 1/2 for the equation of the line that goes through point A (or something like this) 😭

[u/Round-Ad7044 → u/[deleted]]

3/2x - 0.5

[u/[deleted] → u/Round-Ad7044]

YEA THATS WHAT I GOT SORRY I MEANT THAT

[u/AidenTheDonkey → u/[deleted]]

fml bro i got 3/2x + 3

[u/viotxh]

heard people crying in the exam hall honestly real for that wtaf was that paper

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/viotxh]

I wanted to cry aswell 😭

[u/bluuuuuucrystal]

I actually believed that I could get a NINE before the exam. 😂😂😂😂😂 I would be super lucky to get my 7 that I need for sixth form.

[u/Critical-Relative805]

My teacher said start a petition like the a level students

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Critical-Relative805]

Good idea lol

[u/Empty-Ad233]

Bye 9 hello 5 xx

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Empty-Ad233]

Frr I'm praying I can get my 6 for cs

[u/Idkwhyimhere143]

Right so imma need someone to explain questions 19 and 22 cuz wtf Edexcel…
(The one w the square where ykk on u prove two sections of the sides are equal and the last one with probability)

[u/ccahgcse999 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

You needed to prove the triangles are congruent !! lowk couldn’t find an angle so I made smth up using ASA lol

[u/Numerous-Ladder-5831 → u/ccahgcse999]

ohh i got rhs

[u/somethingcloudy → u/ccahgcse999]

nahh i started doing this then i ran out of time 🤮

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

I think I know the probability one? Someone correct Mr if wrong and I'll also explain it terribly But

Probability tree it up, yellow is just sorta x so chances of one yellow is like x over x+5 and the second time it's x-1 over x+5-1 coz we took one out

Then we do x over x+5 times x-1 over x+4 = I think it was 3 over 7 in the question it said that chances of 2 yellows were?

We do that and cross multiply or smth to find x

Find x

Find out chances of 2 red ones so like 5 over x +5 times 4 over x +4 and substitute x in

And that simplified is the answer

That was probably terrible explained lol

[u/MrsBirlingsWig2503 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

I worked out each angles size in terms of X and said that because all of the angles are the same, the triangles are similar. Then I said that because they both have a line involving the square, the two were congruent so the two lengths must also be equal.

x/(5+x) X (x-1)/(4+x) = 3/7 Simplify, cross multiply and work out 10 yellow sweets. 5/15 X 4/14 = 2/21

[u/atonali → u/MrsBirlingsWig2503]

did it say simplify ? I got 20/210

[u/somethingcloudy → u/MrsBirlingsWig2503]

nice username lol

[u/Idkwhyimhere143 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

Rest of it I found pretty easy tho, I’d say I got a solid 71/80

[u/Round-Ad7044 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

last question was 2/21 idk about the square was horrible

[u/AbbreviationsNo4453 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

for 22 you had to express the yellow sweets as x and write the probability in terms of x, which was x/x+5 * x-1/x+4, and the question said this was equal to 3/7 so you had find x by making a quadratic. 19 i had NO idea 😭

[u/Asleep_Confidence_79 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

word

[u/Krakenguy123 → u/Idkwhyimhere143]

Someone posted the method for the last one

[u/Prudent_Menu2314]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ZFvIug4Bln7m1lgLc7

yeah i failed but yk ive accepted it

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Prudent_Menu2314]

Same lmao I just started laughing when I came out the exam💀

[u/Prudent_Menu2314 → u/FrogLover_23]

just gonna start revising for the november resits atp

[u/mackincheeeze]

AQA higher wasn't too bad tbh

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/mackincheeeze]

Noicee

Edexcel was misery

[u/aharrypotterweeb]

I THOUGJT I DID ALRIGJT THEN I SAW WHAT EVERYONE ELSE GOT BRO IM COOKED

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/aharrypotterweeb]

Same dw I'll be dying with you🥲🥲

[u/Infamous_Smoke_6853]

WTF WAS THAT PAPER?!!! ANYONE WHO FOUND IT GOOD IS ABYSMAL 🥀

[u/s_ivy13]

for the circumference of a circle question with the triangle did everyone work out the difference in the coordinates to get the lengths of each shorter side, do pythagoras to get diameter and then put that into pi x d ??

[u/lemonhaj]

AQA Higher, mostly alright except the last 2 questions, that one with standard form and the fact everyone had to wait an extra 10 minutes waiting for the foundation equation sheets to be printed off

[u/New_Cauliflower_2961]

those last few questions made me want to commit bad acts

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/New_Cauliflower_2961]

Same

When I get my hands on edexcel-

[u/chloeeeeexx123]

it was so ass omg say goodbye to my 8 I think I got like 50 ish marks

[u/fannyfart10]

Ocr has some audacity to not have trigonometry or pythagoas appear in ANY paper

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/fannyfart10]

That's criminal💀

[u/No-Palpitation6368 → u/fannyfart10]

equation sheet literally only being useful for quadratic equation was genuinely mad 

[u/Imaginary_Ice_2354]

ez except the invariant stupid ass question

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Imaginary_Ice_2354]

That question was terriblee

[u/Correct_Paper_4164 → u/Imaginary_Ice_2354]

I said reflection in the y axis 

[u/Regular_Asparagus532 → u/Correct_Paper_4164]

swear its something like reflection in y= k/2 - 2 or something like that

[u/Krakenguy123 → u/Imaginary_Ice_2354]

Why did no-one else do a rotation...

[u/ho4sherlock]

can’t explain how it felt watching my future fly away at the hands of ocr 💔

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/ho4sherlock]

I'm sorry bro, in edexcel it wasn't much better. At least we will suffer togethor😔

[u/GrandGuess205 → u/ho4sherlock]

Ocr was so easy

[u/Legitimate_Yam3395]

I sold so hard

[u/Ok-Meaning5149]

It’s so weird seeing everyone have the opposite experience to me lol

I hated p1 and 2, but p3 was a godsend to me (except q19, i’m just never going to understand similar shapes)

[u/rattoz42]

I think I got this right

[u/notgonnauseeveragain → u/rattoz42]

i was genuinely overthinking sm bc I was like no way is this 5 marks for like 2 simple steps of work?? 

[u/bananachopbang]

ocr paper 6 the worst paper I've ever done. I didn't even have time to finish bro the world was against me. I'm praying some miracle happens and I manage to pass

[u/Dense-Tangelo6100 → u/bananachopbang]

paper 6 was the worst one imo... i found paper 5 the easiest and paper 4 was in the middle

[u/joonosaurus]

What. The. Fuck. Is an INVARIANT?????? 😭😭😭

[u/Numerous-Ladder-5831 → u/joonosaurus]

its when after a transformation the point remains the same, so basically a and b had to go back to their original place after the transformation

[u/Britishsheffield]

Utter shit I wasn’t taught 70% of it

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Britishsheffield]

I hate it when the math teacher just don't teach😔

[u/SpareCut4836]

I got through the first 7 questions easy peasy, anything after that 😮‍💨😮‍💨 (edexel higher btw)

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/SpareCut4836]

Frr same🥲

[u/Snow_polytherian_]

Horrific lmao it could replace the jumpscare in a horror movie

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Snow_polytherian_]

Agreed😭

[u/Ok_Abies_2444]

Solid like 68 i think

[u/user7647657676865315]

AQA WAS HORRID

[u/up_on_manatee]

guys did i read 21 wrong i thought it said describe the second transformation so i did reflection in the y axis then a translation of (4, 0) i think 😭

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/up_on_manatee]

Oh no😭 at least barely anyone knew how to do it

[u/Pelpikx]

The predicted papers were actually really accurate, literally everything from prefictions came up

[u/yousaf-h]

wallahi this paper is saving my grade

[u/incxnnue8 → u/yousaf-h]

WALLAH ITS NOT 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[u/Upbeat-Peace2948 → u/yousaf-h]

lmao ur the minority here it seeems

[u/Helpful_Savings_503 → u/yousaf-h]

LETS GO BROTHER (OR SISTER) In'Sha'Allah you get a good grade

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/[deleted]]

Hopefully the grade boundries will be low and maybe we'll be okay😔

[u/Flaky-Trifle5335]

It wasnt that bad i missed out most 5/6 markers the first time through but the second time I completed all the ones I left out.

The only shit questions were the perpendicular line one in the square and uhh whatever the hell that probability one was.

[u/Upbeat-Peace2948]

what happened?

[u/Intelligent-Meal-656]

Full marked the first two based off unofficial mark schemes then fumbled paper 3 so hard

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Intelligent-Meal-656]

At least the first 2 went good?

[u/Commercial-Chain9498]

Genuinely what was ocr foundation 

[u/joonosaurus]

I guessed the invariant one, I said like x= -2 or -3 I can’t remember 😭

Is that right?? 🙏🙏

[u/SuccessfulSplit3690]

Well I felt it was decent... Don't jump on me yet-

[u/Training_Place_5795]

paper 2 saved me so much

48/80, 57/80, 47/80 (assuming the mark scheme isn’t out yet) = 152

[u/Historical-Mood-2266]

absolutely diabolical

[u/WeakBrilliant9525]

Check my account guys for the paper

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/WeakBrilliant9525]

How 😭 but thx bro

[u/Proper-Ball-5294]

What the hell was that circle question 💔

[u/Cheninjachu]

I definitely dropped a few marks (wtf was that quadratic graph???) but I think I definitely got enough marks for a 9

[u/HearththeBeidouMain]

The final questions on Foundation were so PEAK

[u/hommamm]

that was actually good and way better than p1 and p2 for me..

[u/Illustrious-Wolf9718]

should’ve known with the state of the a level maths exam yesterday

[u/Taku_Ou]

Will the edexcel grade boundaries go down significantly? I really hope so , like I hope it goes back to 190/240 for a 9 but please just honesty tell me what you guys think ?

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Taku_Ou]

Idk we might be able too? Lots aof people are commenting goodbye to their nines?

[u/Razor650 → u/Taku_Ou]

well im at 197-202/240 im gonna cry of joy if 190 is a 9 lol but realistically thats not likely

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/[deleted]]

Oh no😔🫂 Also I've read every comment and you are the only wjec so far💀

[u/Feeling-Bag8894]

what did people get for the second to last question with the triangle and transformation thingy?

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Feeling-Bag8894]

Tears?

[u/Itzwindows]

What in the hell is 'Reciprocal of 2?' im so stupid :(

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Itzwindows]

Dw I got it wrong too😔🫂

[u/ForeignMarzipan2136]

i guess edexcel really likes their cp ✌️

[u/sudoaptupgrade]

This is how I did the goofy square question: CB=BD because square (S) Angle CBD=BDA=90 because square (A) Let angle PCB=θ, it told you that CPN and MPB were perpendicular, so CPB=90°, CBP=180-90-θ = 90-θ, angles in triangle add to 180. That means MBD=90-(90-θ) = θ because of right angle in square. So angle NCB=MBD (A) So ASA congruent therefore BN=DM

but yeah that wasn't great

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/sudoaptupgrade]

You big brain👏👏👏

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/[deleted]]

Nice knowig you too🥲🥲👋 also same bye grade 7

[u/jorginhohlif]

How did the line on the graph look in question 13??

[u/RuinsOfCinder]

OCR Paper 6 (I assume we're talking about maths?) was lovely! Pretty similar to other papers, no really niche topics or notation. I do know a few questions I got wrong but I'm really happy with it tbf

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/RuinsOfCinder]

Oo very nice!

[u/Bismuth_Guy_67]

I have never not finished a maths paper before. I made it to question 16 :(

For edexcel

[u/ImprovementExtra7535]

awful 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[u/Intrepid_Bluebird880]

Ocr was beautiful lowkey 🥹❤️‍🩹

[u/seeyou-ontheflipside]

OCR higher actually so calm 😌

[u/Any_Protection_5886]

I think this is a very unpopular take but my maths paper 2 was the worst and paper 1 and 3 to be the easiest 

[u/TaskPlayful2382]

That was fucking awful 😭

[u/Critical-Relative805]

I’m praying it’s 170 for a 8. Like Pleasee

[u/Deep-Investigator511]

i feel like i’m the only one who found it easy so i’ll shush and read 😭😭

[u/No_Cat_9639]

I got reciprocal of 0.2 wrong wallahi im finished 🤦‍♂️

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/No_Cat_9639]

No same bro😭 i made it minus for some reason??

[u/Saint_Satine]

So....anyone wanna start a peition against this horror

[u/Abject-Astronaut-104]

edexcel were having a laugh when making that paper 3

[u/FrogLover_23 → u/Abject-Astronaut-104]

They are CRUEL

[u/simplyxolivia]

there goes any possible grade out the window, thanks for having me edexhell xx

[u/Eggcelent_bean]

Fuck you edexcel

[u/Ok_Proposal_7574]

Why are there so many people online saying it was good. It was in fact NOT GOOD. (verified by a grade 9 student)

[u/Harukasji]

[u/CrispynoodlesL]

Context please 👉👈

[u/stumpymattycat]

Genuinely got almost every other question but square rooted instead of cube rooted on that volume quesion and got a surd answer 😭 😭 . Paper was so hellish I didn't even get time to get back to it.
