sir i did the correct working for the upper bound lower bound question but i think i wrote the answer for lower bound in the blank of upper bound and answer of upper bound in the blank of lower bound will they deduct marks? if yes how much? otherwise i lost only 1 mark

I think that they only take away 1 for the answer mark - only if the working is fully correct
Hope that helps

[Mohammad95]

That depends on the question and what you actually wrote.

One of them is the area of the prism I gave the answer as 371.14 and the speed of the water 1743.85
along with the area of the circle in question 4 I wrote 226.98 .

I think you won't lose any marks for the prism question but it's possible that you may lose 1 mark.

Again, you may lose 1 mark for the area of the circle.

24 hours have passed so here are full solutions to the 13th May IGCSE Maths Paper 42. These are my (IGCSE maths teacher) solutions and not the official solutions from CIE.

I’ll try to answer any questions regarding this paper but...

Since I don’t want to make any predictions that could be wrong, 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’ll only say that I thought it was a very hard paper, one of the hardest in recent years.

Here are the average total grade boundaries over the last 2 years:

A* : 174.7/200
A : 145.6/200
B : 114.8/200
C : 84.4/200

You can see my solutions to Paper 22 here.

This is A Level Maths but you are in an IGCSE thread. You need to go to a different forum.
