th
will i get a mark, if in paper 4 instead of saying, that triangles are congruent, i said, that they are equal in size?
thats what im hoping for too because i said they were identical. but i think i lost around 7 marks so i should still be in the A* section

in paper 4 question 11c i actually applied the sine rule first than the cosine rule. though i still got the same answer so not a problem. though i find the sine rule more easier than the cosine rule.

note that they dont always go with the total score. they decrease the grade theshold. and again dont get too over exited. you never know how much the checkers will deduct because they go though the mark scheme and only answers dont count. you need the step by step instructions. so dont think that you only lost 7 marks. thats over confidence.

Ya..... Yash your right dude.... So many people are over confident on this site... And when they end up with Bs or Cs they wonder why...

seriously there are so many people saying they will get A's. id like to tell them to check the grade threshold of past papers and see where the threshold stands because is it mostly never at 130 or 70 for paper 4 and paper 2 respectively. what id recommend is at least deduct 15-20 marks from what you think your score will be. that way you will know that you'll get marks at least above that point. too much over confidence is never good. one of my cousins said he would get 81% on his mocks for math's and he got 59% when he got the results. you never know what silly mistakes you made which will cause you to lose big marks.

edit: im not saying they wont get A's but im saying that the marks they are saying they attained wont be what they are expecting.

I think in the trigonometry question the letter 'o' has two lines of symmetry as it is not a perfect circle

Could someone explain how the lines OB and CD are parallel in Q7 of Paper 4? I checked the lines with a ruler and they were NOT parallel..
