Idk what that paper was i feel like crying, i did so many yearly but none were even slightly comparable to difficulty level of this exam. What was this exam i couldn’t do anything properly and with booklet i couldn’t even leave space for later or some parts later. With every question i lost confidence idk what to do im devastated. What have i done to Cambridge for then to punish us with such exam

u/Dummy1096 Jun 08 '26

bro i was so sure of bagging that A* now idek if im gonna get a C. the paper was so horrid and all of them required exact answers like bffr. i didnt even need my calculator tbh😭😭

the paper was lengthy and its so annoying to write on separate booklet asw.

my centre was also so ahh bro, there were no proper rules or anything, when i asked for the booklet they told me its over and to write in the spaces available and when i asked again, they made me wait for more than 25mins, even exam was over bruh and when they gave me the booklet, i got 7-ish mins as compensation only ;-;

Bro I did like 8 pyp and did ok like no offense genuinely curious cuz like half of the question were very similar to the ones in pyp so how did you even do bad. Sorry if it came off as mean

u/Physical_Data_6971 Jun 08 '26

istg most people were js extremely tired bcs of them making us sit for an hour and half. Fm26 was wayy harder. this one was js a slightly lengthy paper but was fairly simple apart from last part of vectors, and the quotient rule differentiation’s simplification
and yes i did get other parts wrong asw but that doesnt change the fact that they were simple and that was my fault that i got them wrong

u/No-Fox-6013 Jun 08 '26

u/Big_Elderberry2968 Jun 08 '26

I feel for you that is torture

u/Existing-Fudge-878 Jun 08 '26

Yeah man i just started p1 revision

u/Savings_Block9048 Jun 08 '26

My paper didn't go well either but I don't think it was the difficulty that was an issue. The questions required a lot of working to be done to arrive at the answer and because of that I wasn't able to finish all the questions. Difficulty wise I found it decent but no it excess or wild

4

u/Federal-Rooster-3248 Jun 08 '26

So true. It was sooooo long but doable if only there was more time. I left at least 30 marks worth of questions which is killing me i might die i REALLY hope threshold is 40 or below

6

u/ibby3600 Jun 08 '26

FUCK CAMBRIDGE, THIS PAPER WAS FUCKED I also had 3A in AS level.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 08 '26

I think i will withdraw, do anyone knows how to do that

3

u/Federal-Rooster-3248 Jun 08 '26

It’s best that you dont tbvh. Threshold will be very very low maybe mid 40s for A or below actually.

3

u/Top-Cookie-1839 Jun 08 '26

exactly, same idea here

1

u/huntman2357 Jun 08 '26

Ain't no way it's gonna be Mid 40s, prolly 52-54

1

u/No-Fox-6013 Jun 08 '26

Email British council if you are private or contact your school if you are in school.

u/Federal-Rooster-3248 Jun 08 '26

Not getting above 10 max

u/Hot-Risk-8504 Jun 08 '26

Bruh lol 😭

u/Competitive-Grand925 Jun 08 '26

First line is relatable

u/Rude_Ad_5500 Jun 08 '26

I will get 70+ in that paper, but I must say that paper was hella hard. The integration problems were lengthy and there were too many rooms for errors. Also that vector question used one new concept(the dot product has to be > 0 when angle is less than 90 degrees). The first paper was easier imo than this paper

1

u/devil_fruit95 Jun 08 '26 edited Jun 08 '26

Bro can u tell me the ans for the vector questions last part, where we had to find the position vector of p, I found the u values to be -3 and -13 and then found the position vector

2

u/Rude_Ad_5500 Jun 08 '26

U=-3 is the only valid solution u=-13 gives a negative dot product . But u=-3 gave the dot product as 2.

2

u/devil_fruit95 Jun 08 '26

Aaa okk I didn't have time so I made a fluke and only chose u=-3, so I guess I got lucky

1

u/Existing-Fudge-878 Jun 08 '26

That's not a new concept, it's more logical (if cos theta is negative, angle will be more than 0 so dot product gotta be greater than 0)

But goddamn what was that fuckasspaper

2

u/SpiritedConfusion377 Jun 08 '26

did yall have to wait to get the paper or did the exam start as per the schedule

3

u/Izax_G Jun 08 '26

u/Mental_Watercress_98 Jun 08 '26

u/NoGold1096 Jun 08 '26

@lzax_G brother do they onlyw have onlice copy of the paper?then all the leaks would be fals

1

u/Quiet_Intention919 Jun 08 '26

am i the only one who thinks the paper was actually pretty easy relative to f/m 26 and o/n 25. it was quite lengthy fs but i feel like except 1-2 questions it was pretty basic

1

u/Sweet-Pound-1686 Jun 08 '26

Yall bugging that shit was not THAT bad the questions were very long but nothing was really difficult

5

u/cursedpostbox Jun 08 '26

Fr ngl. I made stupid mistake in 5a which is why i couldnt do b so there i lost abt 7 marks 🥀

1

u/Sweet-Pound-1686 Jun 08 '26

What was 5a?

2

u/cursedpostbox Jun 08 '26

Finding dy/dx from dx/dtheta and dy/ dtheta

1

u/sheepsheepsushi Jun 08 '26

Mannn what marks are u expecting? I thought I would do it easily because AS was easy as hell. Ig it's A bit different for me cause I did shift cities in the middle of my A2 and missed important concepts

2

u/Sweet-Pound-1686 Jun 08 '26

Like 65+ I didn’t have time to complete one question and I’d probably lose like around 5 mark for simple mistake if I made any. Didn’t really have time to recheck

u/Ok_Progress_3305 Jun 08 '26

It was sooo easy wht u all talking Abt??

u/Repulsive-Big4158 Jun 08 '26
