wot happened to june 2005 and 2006 past papers?
Look above, Marsha lol!!!!
The AS papers are in May not June so you can start your A2s in June.
what’s the grade boundries for may 2006?
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.
Mr R
please can you put up the june papers! from claire and talia
Talia, what do you mean by the June papers?
june 2005 and 2006…we have the mark scheems but not the exams…
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.
are there no more past papers? ive run out!
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.

Talia,
I’ve added the paper and mark scheme for January 2005
Mr R
ive just done that 1….can i maybe have the 2004 and 2003 papers?
C1 didn’t exist in those days Talia: it’s a new syllabus.
Talia,
Two more from 2007. Done those?
Mr R
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?
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.
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?
You can write in fountain pen but have black ink as it scans better than blue.
Only draw, don’t write, in pencil.
Hiya, I was just wondering if it would please be possible to get hold of any more Mechanics past papers?
Thanks
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.
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
Emma – I’ve just added 3 more M1s, with marks, for you. Happy New Year!
is the a 2007 may mark scheme?
Thank you!!!
Happy New Year!
Hiya, wondering if there is a May 07 mark scheme too?
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?
Yes please that would be fantastic, thank you
ye thanks.. also will there any maths lessons on tuesday that we can come into? (last minute exam revision)
Yep – can’t remember if we have one timetabled, but if there isn’t one, let’s say we’ll do an after school? Can you spread the word?
Ta.
ok but not every1 will come in i dont think because we get tuesday off on study leave..
Talia & Co – bit of a problem – got a Staff Meeting after school today. I’ll ask the powers that be if I can be excused to help you guys out…
What do we need to bring to the exam?
- Sharp pencil
- Black pen
- Ruler
- Rubber
Anything else?
That’s pretty much it. Spare pen and pencil wouldn’t go amiss. Hope it goes well!
please can some1 put up more c1 papers and some c2 ! thanks
Talia
Have you tried the edexcel resources?
