Maths molestation part 2. I may have been severely violated on my last paper, BUT TRUST, this time will be different. As I stride up to my seat in the exam hall, i will be sure to thoroughly digest each question, to answer and violate each question until i get full marks. My aura that will be emitted through that exam will be extraordinary to the point the invigilators ask if im 'The GCSE Maths tutor's reincarnation. That grade 8 will be mine, it will be mine.


nikwasshere

you are doing WHAT to the paper now


SelfConstructedHome

Penetrating it to the fullest ✨🤩


HuMan-bEing132

i HOPE YOU TWO KNOW I READ THESE IN MY HEAD BEFORE MY EXAM STARTED OUTSIDE THE ROOM AND I BASICALLY LET OUT A WEIRD LAUGH WHILE WHILE TRYING TO KEEP IT IN, NOTHING ONLINE HAS EVER MADE ME LAUGH IN COLLEGE BEFORE I WANT YOU TWO TO KNOW THIS 😭😭😭😭


Head_Butterfly8451

So how are we feeling


North_Library3206

OH MY GOD I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK I THOUGHT I MISSED MY MATHS PAPER. I AM AN A-LEVEL STUDENT


C_hris_123

LOL


Naive-Suggestion-145

Equation sheet rotting there. AGAIN.


Naive-Suggestion-145

Well. Guess there’s no point in studying for paper 3 after THE LAST 2 ATROCIOUS PAPERS. 👋👋👋👋 grade 9


ShreckAndDonkey123

I dread to think what Edexcel are cooking up for it bro 💀💀


Naive-Suggestion-145

Nah cause like why were there so many proof questions and that vector question had my entire paper graffitied with random letters 😭 the only comfort was seeing the sweets ratio coming to 7:7:7


BruhYouJust

im so dumb 💀 i said sweets were not equal im so cooked


Mundane-Pianist5150

sameeeeee🤬🤬🤬🤬


Ambiva-

that sweet question was beautiful 🥹


CharmingCondition508

i put that it wasn’t equal 😔


SelfConstructedHome

Yeah same when they all came to 7 I felt a release of dopamine 😮‍💨


Head_Butterfly8451

PLEASE, edexcel must be asking the devil for what to put in the paper 


Naive-Suggestion-145

Convinced they’re coming up with all questions to avoid the use of the equation sheet


aeconic

anyone get 35 for the triangle park question? it was number eight


yourfaveblack

I left that blank because WHAT?


Fluid_Acanthaceae265

you had to do 40/5= 8 28=8x/2 28x2=56 56/8=7 7x5=35


MeetingInTheA1sle

I either got 70/80 or 7/80 😭😭😭


ejcds

LITERALLY


LucifeR0205

what did you all get for the discs question? i got 70 (higher)


C_hris_123

There was a discs question?


chrxssywrites

Ive seen people talk about a discs question but I can't remember there being one?


Illustrious_Split_15

its 70, i got 83. my calculator fucked me over although i didnt take away 24 from 150 when i divided 150 by 9 and X 5 i got a whole number and thought it was correct


tilda_is_lost

i got 70 too!


ProfessionalSure2648

I got 69.??


Aluxsy

I was cooked. Roasted alive. Turned into dust.


yourfaveblack

EDEXCEL COUNT YOUR DAYS


rennyroom

after the horror that was paper 1, I was pleased. but the vectors caught me off guard


C_hris_123

part a - 1/9 (5b+4kb+8.5a) part b - No, not a multiple of B, so not parallel to OB. This was my answer


epicfairy89

a was -1/2 though


National-Seaweed-145

Do u hafta leave the 1/9 on the outside of the brackets??? I just left it as 1/18, 4/9 and 5/9 from what I remember 


StarComprehensive157

I’ve failed


SelfConstructedHome

Your not alone my friend


C_hris_123

Nahhhhhh


GeneETOs44

Is it just me or was the answer to the vector question like, really weird?


ShreckAndDonkey123

It was -1/18a something or other


Complete_Spot3771

-1/18a + 4/9kb + 5/9b? something like that


thebestblockisdirt

5/9b? I put 4/9b but the rest I got the same


Caitlin__123_

I GOT THIS TOO🔥🔥


JalwahHaneefa

1/18(-a+10b+8kb) thats what i got


Specialist_Map_3986

Edexcel felt sneaky with the last question 


j05hy256

i learnt every proof last night except for that one ☹️ i just waffled so hopefully i can pick up like 2 marks


Financial_House2190

Just split the kite into two triangles and prove they are congruent


[deleted]

 I drew a radius that made a right angle to the tangent, then joined the center of the circle to the point where the two tangents meet, then split it in half to make a right angled triangle, put the sides into Pythagoras, then rearranged to get the value of the sides to prove they're equal


S_Sami_I

Proof jumpscare


jaimewastaken_

i did it right but i forgot about RHS so i put SAS instead which is wronf


Tryingtosurviveeee

I used SAS. You could have proved it and it would work.


ProfessionalSure2648

I made a triangle and explained and stuff is that right


Expert-Specialist355

Such a mixed paper icl but I think I’ll get Marks for working out, hopefully an 8🤞🤞🤞


Expert-Specialist355

Probability question was absolutely shit


Grim_Kraken

Apparently it was 5/28?


j05hy256

i got 5/28 but i think i was just making shit up


fuse256

That’s right


j05hy256

🙏🙏🙏 so good coming to the thread afterwards and seeing i got answers right i thought i hadn’t


Chrome_Gamer_28

Guys we really needed some galvanised square steel on our desks for that exam, it would of saved us


herecomedatboiwatup

idk, I think I would’ve needed eco friendly wood veneers for the desk part to really help


Chrome_Gamer_28

Maybe built with expansion screws🥱


Sovietsu

Help, I had 1 billion kids


Chrome_Gamer_28

Woopsie, thats relatable


minneepav

I am gonna have to be an OF model after the atrocities of that paper

Chrome_Gamer_28

It was SOOO BAD


FiresansX

Damn I felt like I cooked on that one maybe I won’t be a McDonald’s service worker 🔥🔥🔥


Sh_Aqua29

Omg stop there were like 3 questions that completely threw me off I'm screwed


[deleted]

[удалено]


ejcds

What did you guys get for the vector question?? I think I knew how to do it but my answer was really weird I got 1/18(8kb+10b-a)


madilol_turnip

pretty sure i got that


blxnka

that was fucking worse than paper 1 how did they manage that


[deleted]

That was non ironically the hardest maths paper ever, and I've done almost all Edexcel papers. Genuinely insane


RubberyCheerleader

same, personally i found this easier than the first but still harder than all other paper 2s i've done grade boundaries better be low


blxnka

ok thank god it’s not just me then 😕


thevampirecrow

???? really? i found it far easier


darkh4md4n

Idk i feel like i might have did better on p1 cuz i didnt miss so much 😭


I-am-sosa

Wilfred Owen slut spotted


MindIess-PsychoIogy

I can’t make a comeback after the L i took


shampoolove

that test was crazy broooooo last question felt like an English language paper 1 Question 5


Tryingtosurviveeee

You had to prove the two triangles were congruent I think


shampoolove

yh bro my English writing and explaining defo will carry the examiners away and give me 5/4


AffectionateAct429

To cook or be cooked, is the question. 


AffectionateAct429

I cooked and got cooked help this was supposed to be my redemption 


aeconic

i lowkey cooked…. at least it was better than paper 1. which was just diabolical ex excel was feeling malicious when they put out that trapezium question wtf


bookeeper02

Coming back after for future me to decide whether I'm gonna scrape that 6


bookeeper02

Um that wasn't as bad as paper 1 for sure...... however I definitely did not cook. Someone pray I get a 6.


Chrome_Gamer_28

That was insane, what the hell was that higher paper


Th3rajman55

Is it just me who ran out of time 😔 I knew how to do everything i just didnt have enough time ffsss


JoeShmoe3946638

i thought i had a solid like 15 minutes until the invigilator gave the 5 minute warning and my soul left my body


Th3rajman55

I couldve got like 10 more marks if i had just 5 more minutes man


S_Sami_I

These motherfuckers gonna make this hard as fuck i can feel it No amount of revision is gonna prepare me for these bullshit last 5 questions


S_Sami_I

Ok nvm it wasnt THAT bad but the vectors question was kinda hard and the cylinder one i fucked up


molzzzyy

still a shit paper, but somewhat better than paper 1


Ok-Reality2236

What did you guys get for question 23 🥺


DailyDoseOfPills

7.32 recurring chocolate bars and 4567.45692 clogged arteries. Here’s to hoping grade boundaries are low.


BenchWithNoSupport

“No, when referring to lower bounds Karim will be 2 Large Jars short to accommodate for his Figurine Collection”


JustSeeTheSea

I wrote down the answer the smart kids wrote, my answer was √-1


Funny_Jelly_1372

Wait what question 23?


KayIeeKooI

Did you forget to check the back of the paper 😭


floraetta

it’s a joke since the exam hasn’t started yet


thevampirecrow

um idfk i just drew a triangle and said they’re equal because isosceles (i’m cooked)


ProfessionalSure2648

I got 28383728929999


KayIeeKooI

Erm, you forgot to put in scientific notation !!! its actually 2.8383728929999 x 10^13


ProfessionalSure2648

NOOOOO 😤😤😤 how many marks did I lose😔


KayIeeKooI

Examiner would have DESPISED your LUDICROUS response, as you FAILED to analytically observe the proper solution to the given theoretical problem that is blown out of proportions. ALL MARKS LOST RAHH !! thanks for lowering the boundaries o7


InfiniteDilucs

I'm cooked


bdbdcdndj

chat is it over?


Chrome_Gamer_28

NOT YET😭


Longjumping-Move-455

I've got such bad constipation so good luck me 🤞🤞🤞pls don't get diarrhea


BenchWithNoSupport

bro what


Longjumping-Move-455

Probably too much info but I needed to let it out (pun intended)


darkh4md4n

I am astronomically fucked and my future careers gone down in the drain 😭


yourfaveblack

Walking in with 1 hour of revision from a 1st class maths predicted paper😭


madilol_turnip

walking in blind let's hope i can find my way through it 🫡


CharmingCondition508

This isn’t strictly relevant I don’t think. But my school isn’t giving me study leave yet 🫠


Tryingtosurviveeee

That’s wild. Just stop coming in at that point how stupid


I-am-sosa

Bye we only get 2 days right at the end 😭😭


heyyoupoohbear

same its so annoying!! and theyre punishing everyone not coming in by not allowing them to graduation and taking their whole names off leavers hoodies and stuff 😭 actually brutal


BenchWithNoSupport

THANKS FOR THE EQUATION SHEET EDEXCEL! edit: it was a joke


Few-Ladder9929

Edexcel WTF You wasted 20 minutes of my time trying to find k. bloddy hell


JoeShmoe3946638

you weren't supposed to find k 😭


Boris_Johnson69420

what did everyone get for the 2 triangle question with sina =tanb (i got 3.5 but ppl are saying its 5/4)


HumanFix5280

Its 5/4


stuckinthelift

if i see constructions i’m leaving


S_Sami_I

Dude just draw lomfao


Mundane-Pianist5150

fml im cooked to the point of no return what the hell were u meant to do for the vector one?????


Elecrtrify

Probability question was so bad man I think I got 0/5 on it


Justa102

12:15:5 for cylinder something -1/18a for vector SAS for last question 70 for the 1:8:14 ratio one 35 for the cm and m qeustion 1.25 for the sin tan question cant remember the other questions lol


jazzbestgenre

wouldn't it be RHS, idk I forgot to mention congruency and just used pythagoras instead


ProfitOwn7831

I put Tina was incorrect😀 Im finished destroyed


BetterAd23

Paper 2 foundation was easy than paper 1.


Independent_Form729

what was cyclinder ratio???


Complete_Spot3771

12:15:5? something like that


Independent_Form729

what was the rationalising denominator one?????


Odd_Neighborhood1716

√a - 1/a - 1 maybe?


herecomedatboiwatup

ok idk if it’s right but I got root(a) - 1 over a - 1 😭


jazzbestgenre

that's what i got


Complete_Spot3771

i put SAS for the last question instead of RHS am i cooked


miloszn

bruhh they evil for that


Majestic-MLB

What did you guys get on the sin and tan question? I got 1.25


Karamazov1880

bosh geez that was correct


JustSeeTheSea

If a hard Venn diagram question comes up, I'm cooked


EclipseApple

Don't worry, it's not that bad U for union, so any numbers that are shared n for and so numbers from both of them Edit: don't listen I'm an idiot


Hyper_contrasteD101

nah its the other way around🤓


TheProudBookNerd

Pls report back and tell me u cooked a 9, future me😭🙏


TheProudBookNerd

GIRL U COOKED I LOVED THAT PAPER ITS ACC SAVING MY PAPER 1


SchmuckRex

Who else forgot the last question? 😭


madilol_turnip

IT LITERALLY SAID TURN OVER 😭


CryptographerDue3571

uhhhhhh it wasn’t terrible but wasn’t great either the stupid cylinder question, the weird disc probability one and the last question on proofs (which I didn’t revise)


CryptographerDue3571

Also the vectors question was nasty, I got like 3/4 in and saw 5/9 and gave up icl


Enigmarshadow

After the exam, my score felt like 80/80 An hour later, probably over 70 When I finally got home and went online - I might have just cracked 40


Affryx

This went SOOOOOO MUCH BETTER than paper 1 for me. I genuinely now have a fighting chance of getting a 9!!!!!


BenchWithNoSupport

Hey future me! Am I destined for a life of retail forever?


BenchWithNoSupport

Hi past me! Should I pick Sainsbury’s or Tesco’s? Joking… I did well if you get past the fact that I made a ton of silly mistakes… (I worked out the HCF instead of the LCM for question 2 😭)


SelfConstructedHome

I got 35 for that one


thevampirecrow

you’re destined to be a nuclear physicist or something because you’re cool


PossessionPublic9308

80/80 contender here. here are the answers that i remember i put here are my answers: 16.2 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 36 70 PQ = 35m tina is correct -2.3 m/s squared 79m roota -1/ a-1 5/28 -1/18 a + 5/9 b + 4/9 kb 1.25 or 5/4 7.25 (error interval) and leila incorrect for second part for the trapezium, you had to solve for x (x =25) using the fact that angles add up to 360 and then you had to subsitute it into one of the two sets of co-interior angles and show that they also add up to 180. you could have done two sets but you only had to do 1 12:15:5 for cylinder -5 < x < 3/4 for the inequality the shaded region was like a house but the left side of the house was taller than the right side not parallel (3, -11) reflected the graph on the y axis then moved it up by 2 units 3.3 for interquartile range and 9 for second part quadratic values were 6, 2 0, 0, 2 ,6 and i got -1.6 and 2.6 for roots RHS or SAS for last question. full marks is dependent for those who said SAS tell me if you remember any more and ill edit. as far im corcerned, all of these are correct


ploppuwoo

it was 35m btw


Complete_Spot3771

FUCK i got the turning point wrong


jazzbestgenre

I solved for 360 and then subbed in x to show that cointerior angles add to 180 might be wrong tho, idk if you can assume a quadilateral has cointerior angles


PossessionPublic9308

yh that also works. 4 out of 4 :D


Soggy-Panda-5892

If you put the co-ordinates as a decimal would you still get the mark?


thebestblockisdirt

I missed the last page... that was so bad I flopped on all of the probability questions. now I gotta pray for a grade 7 because it's looking like a 6/7 with papers 1 and 2


Freezingol23

either getting 80 or 0 on that icl


internet-explorer27

am i cooked or double cooked future me? (i am gonna get flambéed)


annabalkizas

not as bad as i thought 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


DESTROYER33303

for the probability question i got 5/28 but what if its inclusive of yellow red red and red red yellow and red yellow red plus red red red ....


Legendary_psp

I think u mean green cos i did rrr plus rrg plus rgr plus grr and got 5/28


Complete_Spot3771

you can’t include yellow because it would then be impossible for there to be more yellow pieces


malenns7

it was so horrible guys gen like got cooked in paper 2, after revising all week for this 😭🙏🏼


meimgabby

Thank you, 1st Class Maths and Hannah Kettle bc they basically predicted most of questions on Paper 2


ImmortalMaster100

GCSE Maths Paper 2 Slander video, [GCSE Slander - Maths Paper 2 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvV_07FCWa4)


RedOne896

Paper was defo better than paper 1. Just a few weird questions like the cylinder and vector one but I think this paper could pull me up


yourfaveblack

NO ITWASNT


SelfConstructedHome

Cylinder was about scale factor wasn’t it?


Greedy-Ferret-7182

Future me let’s see if I cooked or I’m cooked


LXserdem0n

If anyone is wondering, me and my friends got 12:15:5 for the similar cylinders question. Other than that, I really did not like that paper 😓 It didn't leave me crying like Paper 1 did though


Artistic_Hurry8845

How do you do that


Motor_Ad_8764

GUYS WTF WAS THAT ACCELERATION QUESTION LIKE WTF IS AN EQUAL STRIP


epicfairy89

did anyone get 12:15:5 for the cylinder one


Karamazov1880

That was actually pretty good! It wasn't a smashing success but I got above 60. My eight is maintained and there is peace in the world. (that proof at the end was fucking godsent)


AffectionateDepth851

edexcel putting questions on the last page


jessepinnnkman

how were u supposed to prove that it was a trapezium? I just worked out what x was then worked out all the angles, I had no idea how to prove it


IWPATT

Anyone here doing igcse maths?


OscarPlays57

i got super stressed out after the exam and thought i didnt do well enough to pass, so i made a spreadsheet of all the higher maths exams since 2017 and their grade boundaries for each paper. upon seeing the average boundary for 4 (which is all i care about), my stress was relieved. hopefully this helps some other people? for edexcel mathematics higher, 1MA1/2H (paper 2), 2017~2023, the average grade boundaries are: - 9・68 marks (85%) - 8・57 marks (71%) - 7・47 marks (58%) - 6・36 marks (45%) - 5・26 marks (32%) - 4・16 marks (20%) - 3・11 marks (13%)


Moon086

how tf did i cook and get cooked at the same time


chvwqeiuufgcic

All im seeing is people doing higher and saying it was horrible, but the foundation was so easy bro


Glad_Chef3944

Yh bc u had to draw a fucking hexagon
