Talia,
If I’m reading the table correctly, the lowest raw marks (ie NOT percentages) for C1 May 2006 are:
A 60/75
B 52/75
C 44/75
D 37/75
E 30/75
Hope this helps.

The link is at the top of this page. Click on it and then open the file.
May = June like I told you before because AS exam papers are sat in May not June.

Hi Talia,
You could try the OCR website: their past papers and mark schemes are free to download. The syllabus won’t be that different to Edexcel.

Is there any possibility of having the May 07 mark schemes?
We might have already been given them, but i’m in America at the moment so haven’t got all my bits of paper with me.
Also, on Jan 06, is 65/75 an A?
Thank you

Happy new year Emily
Convert the raw mark to a percentage then go 80, 70, 60, 50, 40 for the grade boundaries.
Can’t help with the mark scheme – sorry. If Mr R looks in, he might be able to help you.
Hope you are having a good time.

hello can anyone help with question 2 from may 2006 or question 6 from may 2005?
i can do the algebra but i get really confused on which way the inequalities signs go and why?
By: talia on January 2, 2008
at 4:13 pm
Q6 from May 2005 – see A level pure thread where Emma asked the same question.
I’ll just go and look at the other one for you now.
By: Mrs Tibble on January 2, 2008

Factorise the quadratic.
The brackets will tell you where the graph crosses the x axix ( y = 0 )
Sketch the curve – it’s a happy parabola!
Since the inequality says >0 (greater than 0) you want the regions where the curve is above the axis ie the left and right bits; not the middle cos that’s below and therefore < 0.
Does that make sense Talia?

Are there any mark schemes for the specimen papers we were given?
Also, in the exam are we allowed to write in pencil and fountain pen? or does it have to be a biro?
By: Marianna on January 3, 2008
at 7:16 pm
You can write in fountain pen but have black ink as it scans better than blue.
Only draw, don’t write, in pencil.

Which ones have you done, Emma? (Not that I’ll be much help to you but it will be useful for the others to know!)

Can you use any of the OCR papers? (link above) The code for M1 is 4728 with OCR.
By: Mrs Tibble on January 4, 2008
at 11:22 am
Oh actually, I’ve just found a June 2005!
But for reference I’ve done:
Jan 06
June 06
Jan 07
I’ll have a look on the OCR website… even just being able to do various questions would be great… thanks Mrs Tibble

By: Emma Kitley on January 5, 2008
at 12:48 pm
Not yet I don’t think. They are done by Edexcel. I’ll try to put something together at school tomorrow though if you like?
By: Mr Brewin on January 6, 2008

What do we need to bring to the exam?
- Sharp pencil
- Black pen
- Ruler
- Rubber
Anything else?
By: Emily Chapman on January 8, 2008
at 2:26 pm
That’s pretty much it. Spare pen and pencil wouldn’t go amiss. Hope it goes well!
