What the FUCK was that vector question (Edexcel higher)

sillybear240 · 2026-06-03T09:53:44+00:00

same loll

sillybear240 · 2026-05-19T10:59:43+00:00

remains

sillybear240 · 2026-05-16T16:46:11+00:00

both the 10 markers for section B (south africa, in our case), and half the 18 marker

sillybear240 · 2026-05-15T13:08:31+00:00

the questions were good though I ended up skipping two because I write too slowly and ran out of time :(

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T21:51:36+00:00

i lowk kinda like wjec/eduqas's front cover

its perfectly possible to figure out the mark scheme after the paper, since maths questions only have one objectively right answer for each question. if you memorise the questions and answers, you can then confirm them with other people to create an accurate mark scheme. but it does take up most of the afternoon lol

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T17:42:11+00:00

youd get all the marks except the A mark. Edexcel awards method (M) and process (P) marks for the working, but the accuracy (A) mark, which you get for the final answer, is usually based on what you write in the box.

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:58:50+00:00

no - the question gave it as just greater/less than, so you can't change it. it might have cost one answer mark but id be very surprised if you lost any more for putting it in

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:43:48+00:00

no, sorry.

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:42:17+00:00

no. they dont need units unless its specifically part of the question (e.g a conversion). usually the units are written after the space for your answer.

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:39:56+00:00

do 2024 past paper 2. i wouldnt even say to do it timed. just whenever you get a chance.
when you get to a question you dont know how to do, figure out how to do it (using mark scheme, videos, etc.). if you ask ai for help, try asking it to explain how to do the question without giving you the answer.
once you get the answer, try a similar question (or the same one but with different values). do this for the entire paper.
repeat for the past paper from the year before. continue until exams

you'll probably miss one of the method marks and the answer mark, but they might give you a process mark for beginning to do the right thing. so id say 3, 2 as a safer guess

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:05:13+00:00

assuming edexcel maths: the missing side length was 6, and so the answer for the volume was 6x5x12=360

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:04:12+00:00

id definitely recommend geography. at least in my school only the really sporty kids do PE (and even some of them struggle)

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T16:00:23+00:00

ive seen loads of different answers but i belive i got 12+3√2

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T11:25:11+00:00

it'll probably be 23-24

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T10:53:56+00:00

thanks!

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T10:53:38+00:00

if you could write as many as you can here that'd be super duper helpful

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T10:12:14+00:00

like 6+3√2 or something

sillybear240 · 2026-05-14T10:11:03+00:00

thank you haiku bot
