8th May Maths Paper 2 full solutions

OW...i lost 5 marks...is it an A* or just a high A???

you can not get an A* on an individual paper. Paper 2 is worth 70 marks and paper 4 is worth 130 marks, so in total you have 200 marks. Depending on the marks overall, boundaries are being set. Generally (depending on the difficulty of the papers) an A* star would be around 160-175.

A* is expected to be @ 175 to 180 out of 200.

nontek when are you going to post the 42 answers after how many hours ??? plzz reply

 

[salman moosa]

The total of 260 in the Summer 2012 grade thresholds was a mistake. The extended syllabus has a total of 200, 70 marks from Paper 2 and 130 marks from Paper 4.

Sir whn r u gng to upload the math paper 4

 

[Timi Adeg]

It changes every year and I haven't seen Paper 4 yet so it's impossible for me to know.

Our paper 2 was way easier than 2012 paper 2, but the paper 4 was harder than last year's (Variant 2). Once you see paper 42 could you please let me know your expectation for the A* threshold

 

[Dishant soni]

Yes I will - I'll post the answers on the 14th.

its the 14th fast>>>>>>!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dishant soni]

If your line goes past all the points on either side then you will probably get the mark.

I don't think CIE will require the line of best fit to extend to the axes.

fast man upload da paper we are waiting for it........>>>>>>

I have a question regarding Maths Paper 22 question 18. As the answer I wrote down x is greater or equal to -4 and less or equal to -1, instead of -4,-3,-2,-1. Would I still get full marks for that?

Guys come on. He is doing this to help us not because he has to do it. Stop telling him to post it "faaaast" because he doesn't HAVE to do it.

Instead you should be thanking him for answering the paper and posting it here. You guys make it sound like he works for you. If I was him i could reconsider going through the effort of answering and posting it here.

You don't have to keep refreshing the page waiting for him to post it. Go do something else.

 

[kevinjohn]

i made your same mistake. i think we will get 3/4 for that

I don't think so. The question asked for the integer values so you would lose 1 mark (previous past papers have done the same)

Hi,

24 hours have passed so I can upload my solutions to Paper 22.

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

- I will not answer any questions like, 'What will I need to get this grade' or 'How hard/easy was the paper, what will the A boundary be'.

I will be posting solutions to paper 42 on 14th May in a different thread.

24 hours passed for paper 42 , can you please download it?
