8th May Maths Paper 2 full solutions

I wrote all the working for both questions and it's correct. And what about the speed time graph? I made very thing except converting from hours to minutes. Thank you for the help!

You will get either 2/4 or 3/4 for the speed-time question. It depends how generous CIE are.

This depends on you and since I don't know you, I can't answer your question.

I consider a B to be a good grade for most students. But you probably wouldn't be happy with a B and would consider this a 'bad' grade.

Do you understand what I'm trying to say?

It aint a B, 63/70 is 90% which is an A*!

No it isn't. You can't get an A* for an individual exam.

I think you're not understanding what I'm saying. You'll have to be patient and wait for your grade from CIE.

Hi,

24 hours have passed so I can upload my solutions to Paper 2.

If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them.

(This is Paper 2 version 2. If anyone knows how to add this to the thread title, please tell me).

hi sir, do you think this paper was tougher than 2012 and previous years, maybe through that we could have an idea about if the grade boundaries would be lower than may june 2012 which were 99 for paper 4 for an A, and 48 for paper 2.

through your mark scheme, i got 52/70 in paper 2,

how much would i have to aim for to achieve an A, overall?

g(1/2x) = 1/2 (1/(1/2x))

Can you see your mistake?

btw i know ive asked a lot lol but can u tell me where g(x) = 1/2(1/x) isnt it g(x)= 1/2x???

question 16, the speed time graph
how did you get 15?
most of us got 900 km, by diving the graph in sections and taking the areas

 

[Princess Raven]

u didnt convert mins to hours..

My guess is that the A boundary will be higher than 50. But this doesn't really mean much for an individual paper. It's the combined score that matters.

I can only use previous years exams (P2 with P4) to guess what the A boundary will be but it could be completely different this year. If you want an idea, find the average of the A boundaries over the last 2 years.

The x-axis scale is in minutes so you need to change it to hours.

 

[notnek01]

btw i know ive asked a lot lol but can u tell me where g(x) = 1/2(1/x) isnt it g(x)= 1/2x???

They are the same thing. Multiply the numerators 1*1 = 1 and the denominators 2*x=2x

So 1/2 * 1/x = 1/(2x)

135/200 will probably get you a B. The A boundary averages about 145/200 but it could be completely different for this paper.

 

[SherlockHolmes221B]

Sir, what do you think of the exam? I mean, do you think it's harder or easier than last year?

135/200 will probably get you a B. The A boundary averages about 145/200 but it could be completely different for this paper.
