Math P3 (My worst nightmare)

Okay,
So, After solving each and every past-paper, doing every exercise and spending all my time on math, my paper was horrible.
I didn't attempt the "vectors" question, at all...
I made various mistakes and couldn't solve the differential equations.
To be honest, I'm expecting about 45-55 marks (at the most)

I got an A in AS... :/

Is anyone else expecting a horrible grade, or am I the only one?

It was an ok paper! I screwed up in 8ii) and 9ii)! I didnt attempt vector either because of time. 1 hr and 45 min isnt enough tbh

Seriously , This was one of the most difficult paper in history of P-3
Not only lengthy but tricky too
don't expect too high marks believe me

53 -55 - for A grade
43 -45 - for B grade

Believe me most of the candidates found it difficult percentile is certainly LOW
Nov 2011 was way tooooo easier than this and percentile was like 58

Nevertheless, managed to have a good paper!

Guys relax.....in every examiner report key is that you attempt questions and give logical solutions if u did differential equation wrong or for instance like angles wrong u might just loose very less marks...and yes GT will be low....Stats will Be easier..dont worry if u have given logical solutions and yes even in cases like for example what people did they thought for volume question it was ln(x)^2 and thought it was 2ln(x) but it was (ln(X))^2 and u can differentiate it with even product rule as we take ln first function..Dont worry if u have struggled Allah Always give the reward Leave all on Allah he is the one and Only

but still just think yar the comfort associated with a paper well..... for mechanics it was like 13 marks were not attempted by people in the exam now this is no good........ Gt its a plus point especially in PHY and Chem now Maths toooo

Look the question was pretty hard. I got 91% in my As level but still I am expecting to get an A* as the grade threshold will be definitely low this time

Not more than 5 I guess. This exam way better than my AS exam last year. Got a unexpected grade of 91. Though I am hoping to do well in S2

This year's vector is actually one of the easiest vectors of all. Look at all the past papers it proves it. The perpendicular distance formula was given and the questions were pretty much straight forward what more do you want. After all it's CIE!! I got lamda 2 and distance 6.
P was -i+3j-5j and i-3j+5j.
