The band 6 cut off is usually like 64, the exam wasn't THAT much easier lol.

70 raw will defs get you a band 6.

wait but in the q didn't they just always assume static friction, not moving kinetic friction? so like you didn't need to know there was two types of friction to do it anyway ahh

i think in the end the mu the used does not correspond to any coefficient of friction they made their own laws. meh fair enough its a maths test

yeah, but same for this years imo

I think last year's was a bit easier; the question 16 in this year's paper was definitely harder than last year's question 16 with the circle geometry and that inequality.

[AntarcticMonkeys]

i did one of the volumes questions as integration by parts should i farewell the idea of an e4?

Im expecting 60-65? What do you think that would scale up to, considering that the test was easy.

Also do you know if examiners give half marks. Like say if you make a silly mistake and get the wrong answer despite geting the working correct.

No, they do not give half marks. In cases like those, whether you still get it or not it depends on a large number of factors like how many marks were allocated to the question, how late it is into the paper etc.

 

[genodeg]

tfw you skipped q 11 e

3 easy marks D:...
