Sir, what do you think of the exam? I mean, do you think it's harder or easier than last year?
I don't like to predict this. At first glance, I thought this paper seemed easier than normal Paper 2's. But I think many people will lose marks in the inequality and functions questions.

So I don't know :)

You definitely have a chance of getting an A but you'll need a high score in Paper 4.

An A* may be out of reach if you got 35 in Paper 2.

Sir, according to your mark scheme, I've got 59-60 marks. Therefore, in order to get an A*, roughly what mark would I need to get in Paper 4?

I haven't seen Paper 4 yet so I have no idea. If you want an idea, have a look at grade boundaries from previous years (all can be found on this website) and find the average.

guys an A* doesn't exist at an individual level! but if u lost more than 25 marks in P2 u can kiss it good bye! total mark must not get below 175/200.... who ever did bad in P2 u can still make it up! P4 isnt harder its just longer.... a full mark is easy on both papers!
probably this year itll be 180/200 so actually more than 20 marks haha and yes ur certainly right about p4 to be honest its easier since less stupid mistakes r made~

I can't answer anymore questions today. I hope my solutions and answers on this thread have been helpful.

I'll be doing the same thing for Paper 42 on 14th May so look out for that thread.
