    No, you'll still get marks for all your other work! even if the answers are wrong, if you used the right method they'll reward you!

    You know for where they asked why some people may not have registered yet for the household tax could you say that the deadline may not have passed for registration?

    As long as the answer is relevant then you'll get marks, how many I'm not sure.

    I said the what I thought would be the most likely case: People trying to avoid paying extra in taxes.

    I left my calculator at home and had problems using stupid Casio one. Everything was stuck in fraction mode and wouldn't give me the feckin decimals, nightmare. Had to change 3 times. Didn't have enough time to finish the last questio, raging at that cause I know trig and would have gotten close to 30 marks, maybe 30. Could be the difference between B and C. Kinda pissed about that but can't do anything now. On to Bio!

    It was 120. People made the mistake of thinking it was 180 degrees split into 3 equal ways (hence the 60). But the blades went around in a full circle, so it was 360/3 giving 120 each.

    For the question of height of the turbine on Q8 I got 179 meters? And for the angle where she was standing around 80 degrees? Anyone else get anything similar or possibly the same? :P

    So If I answered every single question and at least put down an attempt for everything should I pass?

    No, if you get enough of them, it's certainly possible.

    It depends on good your attempts were ... just putting down something for the sake of putting down something won't pass you, like! :p:D

    I was so happy with paper 2, after making a mess of paper 1.
    I was so worried I'd fail!

    I seem to have gotten most of paper 2 right , but I'd say I only got like 20% in paper 1.

    Is there any chance I could get a c3 or what is the max grade I could get?

    Thanks :)

    If you attempted most the questions you will get alot of marks for the attempt if they make sense but if not you'd want to be getting at least 80% in paper 2 for a C3:)

    Need some hope or reassurance. Literally want to curl up in a ball and cry after that maths paper 2. Paper 1 was grand. Left a lot of blanks on paper 2. If i wont get a C3 I can say goodbye to my course. Can somebody tell me how much do I need to get in paper 2 to get a C3?? As in how much out of 300

    165 marks is a C3. You'd need 330 marks between both paper 1 and paper 2 to get a C3.

    Paper went amazing, but did anyone think the tax question which went like "Give one reason why not all properties were registered." is not a maths question?

    I'd say they'll accept anything really.. weird question.

    Any other maths teachers on here that feel that this question is a ridiculous one to have on a maths paper?

    I know the department are thinking of bringing in a Politics subject at LC level, but don't introduce it via maths papers.

    Almost any answer is justifiable and they will probably allocate huge marks to that question if they want to raise grades. Ridiculous.
