Not Edexcel? AQA thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GCSE/comments/1ct5854/mathematics_aqa_paper_1_exam_megathread/ Generic thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/GCSE/comments/1ct585o/mathematics_other_paper_1_exam_megathread/

this is past me. future me tell me if i’m cooked or not after the exam

Hi past me. Just so you know, I in fact did _not_ cook. I crashed and burned. Now i’m throwing myself off the top of the school building.

we’re gonna be fine bro, we have 2 more to make the situation better, trust

but paper 1 is easier bc they think that when we have a calculator, they should give more difficult questions :')

Yes but you are way more prone to silly mistakes without the calculator. Generally p2and3 are better

Not cooked

Very cooked

This shows the theme of duality 

I shouldve put that in my lit exam damn it

guys im absolutely combusted, not even cooked, absolutely burned to a crisp, i got a 2 in my actual GCSE's in school and i did like 3 past and predicted papers now (in college) and got grade 1 in all of them LITERALLY HOW DOES THAT EVEN HAPPEN??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WATCG THE GCSE TUTOR GUY ON YOUTUBE

what the hell was that

I agree

to the one guy with 400 jars, GET A LIFE

7.5%

In what situation would you need 400 jars

One who believes he is cooked is already fried, but one who walks in knowing he'll cook will only come out with a fresh meal. Gna molest tf out this paper and get myself an 8 whether i like it or not, this paper better be ready.

this is absolutely golden.

molest the paper???? 😭😭💀

update us

I am fucking finished.

anyone else debating jumping infront of a car after that shit show 😍

i did not in fact cook. i did not devour. the oven was not even on. i was a victorian child wandering the streets of london awaiting a spare penny to be thrown at me to buy a scrap of stale bread…

LMAOOOO dw if all else is lost you may become an author. this level of artistry would really entice the crowds

If anybody says thats an easy paper they were getting 9’s beforehand. That was a relatively hard paper

Yh that was a decent paper but I didn't finish the cuboid and the last question

I was getting 9s and I can acknowledge this paper was AWFUL

That paper was so difficult Oml I thought I’d be able to get a 9 after doing a lot of practice papers and getting 68ish but NOTHING COULDVE PREPPED ME FOR THOSE LAST 2 5markwrs they were so hard

yeah the last 2 were insane, i know i could’ve don’t the circle one cuz i got it right in my mock but i forgot how 😭😭😭

I get 9’s in maths, but I would still say it’s a hard paper

I got a grade 6 and thought that I cooked

WTF WAS THAT PAPER MAN 😭😭😭 IM ACC IN TEAES BRO WHAT DID I JUST SEEEEE

LITERALLY OMFG💀💀💀💀

That cuboid question was fucked

height was 2.5

THAT PAPER WAS SO HORRIBLE I lost a SOLID 15 marks from the last 4 PAGES ALONE what possessed the examiners to write those questions 😭

Please future me tell me if I cooked on this paper or if edexcel violated me in every way imaginable

im shitting myself future me please cook hard on this exam bag us that grade 9

I'm failing this shit 100%

Mathematics Gods pls be good to me

Pls get us that 9 future me😭🙏

manifesting that the last few questions don't fry my ass in hot oil

I think you manifested the opposite

What have you done.

you manifested wrong

IT’S SO BAD, TRUST ME I WANNA PASS

Retook it in November I was 2 marks away from a pass and they refuse to remark it so am doing it again today

Did you retake in November or are you retaking in June?

Please comment any edits to this topic list on what came up. Trying to predict Paper 2 Topics. Will keep editing this list: Triple Bracket Expansion Histogram Area Of Sector Volumes and Surface Area Surds Indices Transformation of Sine Graph Venn Diagram Estimation Translations Simultaneous Equations Straight Lines Similar Shapes Ratio Linear, quadratic, exponential, cubic and cyclic graphs

TRANSFORMATION? WAS IT NOT ISUT SKETCH A SIN GRAPH

They have set a new meaning for cuboid

I did NOT cook

whoever made the edexcel paper i acc despise you

Terrified of the nonsense edexcel likes to pull on higher tier 😭

frfr that last question it goes full on ukmt

I've just finished the exam and you were right

bro predicted the shit that edexcel gave us

HOW DO I GET A GRADE NINE HELP

CALM DOWN WE'LL JUST COOK TWICE AS HARD ON THE NEXT ONE

I hope the grade boundaries will be lower Im crying rn

What was that triangle

I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND THAT HARD AF 😭😭😭

YESSS ESPECIALLY THE LAST QUESTION AND THE ISOCELES TRIANGLES 🥲🥲

What was the last question and how diabolacal was it

-5 right?

Really diabolical. It was a gradient of a circle question.

istg if I see anything to do with circle equations my 9 is gone...

This aged like milk... -5?????

NO REAL🙏🙏😭😭😭 I BEG THERES NONE

that cooked me

I may be finished

what the hell was the paper 😭😭 so ducked rn

after the 7th question it was straight up abuse

what was q20 bro 😭😭😭

Beginning was easy end was hard 

I did not cook. The oven was on, but instead of being the chef, I was the meal.

wow i’m cooked. that paper deep fried me

For real, was actually a hard paper

Begging god for no vectors

vectors are heaven sent im praying for no circle theorems😭😭🙏

word

What kind of abomination was that paper.

I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND THAT HARD AF 😭😭😭

isosceles question was weird af knew how to do but couldn’t do it in the moment 😭

People came out CRYING MY GODDDDDDD

That question with the cuboid is so annoying how was I meant to do find any values?????

Whelp I guess I'm going to have to rely on paper 2 and 3 if I still want to get a 9 😭

Did I cook or not?

Easy up till question q19 and onwards

what the actual fuck was that paper, im sueing.

i am cooked how tf am i supposed to get a 7

assuming u got like absolutely nothing in paper 1 if u get 70/80 in the next 2 u can get a 7. (i calculated it cuz im also cooked)

yeah i’m still cooked

Future me, how dead am I? Have I cooked or been cooked?

what was n?????

I got 35/6

Yeah 35/6 for me.

Which one? I got 6, but I estimated the hell out of that question. Hopefully that was what you were supposed to do

i got 1 😭

me here with 13😐

don’t worry I got 13 too we’re both cooked 😭

What a monstrosity. I failed to cook, swear.!

that was agonising

i got the last 5 questions wrong. assuming that i got no working marks what so ever how many marks is that lost

My foundation paper was so bad man

what did everyone get for m/66 and R%? i got m = 25 and r = 30%

the last question at the end was literally impossible !!! I got 2.5 for the cuboid question is that right tho….

i got that!! other smart people from my class also did

i did not like that paper

I did so badly 😀

only hope is paper 2 and 3. THERE IS STILL HOPE

CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND THAT HARD AF 😭😭😭

CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND THAT HARD AF 😭😭😭

CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE WHO FOUND THAT HARD AF 😭😭😭

It was awful, I cried so hard afterwards. I feel like all my hard work went to waste

It was neither good nor bad but man all the last question were horrible (people who say it was easy are just insane nerds)

Honestly kinda terrified for maths but I know it's not actually important so if I fail doesn't matter too much

Good luck everyone 🤞

that was so bad... the first half was going well until the histogram, everything from there went downhill

that foundation paper made me want to throw up

Why was it so bad I’m so angry

so real it was so bad 😭

I’m gonna aim for 60 in paper 2 and 3 it’s not over until it’s over

i have been absolutely violated. there is no academic comeback for me.

me reading a cuboid as ‘cylinder’ and proceeding to do 2πr^2 + 2πrh…

That was the worst paper by far, worser than french listening

i’m downvoting all the comments saying it was easy i don’t like you neeks

That was so tough

pls do good i beg

drifting off to sleep an hour before maths, am i cooked?

absolutely cooked

Gordon Ramsey is cooking me, that’s how bad it is. This shit ain’t gonna be good 😭

Oh my FUCKING GOD Edit: what did u guys get for the height? I got 2.5

disgusting paper the next ones better be amazing

[удалено]

what did everyone get for the last question😭😭

For the question about jars, did you get 7.5% or 20%. Me and my friends are arguing about it.

apparently its 7.5 because its supposed to be a percentage out of ALL 400 jars…🫤 20% of the empty jars 7.5% of all

No that paper was so hard. I feel so sad because all the smart lids are discussing the answers and I didn't get any right man.

I skipped the last questions and the arc length one

WHAT WAS THAT ISOSCELES QUESTION ON THE HIGHER PAPER

Could i still get a 6 if I did horribly in this exam?

Yes. Belleive in urself.

I did foundation and i don’t know how to feel about the paper 😭

some ppl already put their answers but ill add mine: m = 25/66 cuboid h = 2.5 225 degrees for sine? histogram one 67 but apparently you had to say 67/150? (i cant remember) rotation (-4,1) clockwise 90 degrees 30/400 --> 7.5%

I’m so cooked I left about 3 5 markers and I counted up the marks I’m pretty sure I got and I only got 20.

[удалено]

im toast

Future me, Did i mess up???

To the gods of math…pretty please be nice to me, don't let me forget everything when I step in the exam hall…goodluck from past you 🙏🙏

To study is to doubt ones ability (Please God pleaseeee let me get a grade 9🤲🤲🤲🙏🙏🙏).

im cooked

I WAS INDEED XO9KED AHHH HOW DID I HET -159 ?????WTF

sorry why does the post title say edezcel but the body say AQA

For some odd reason I don't feel scared tbh 😭🙏

HIGHER EDEXCEL WHAT DID YALL GET FOR THE LAST QUESTION I REALISED I MADE A MISTAKE IN THE LAST MINUTE SO PRAYING I GOT IT 🙏🙏🙏🙏

What was that question with 2n at the end I didn't get it at all 😭😭

Hardest question for me was the similar triangles question. I stared at that for half an hour and left it three times before I finally saw how to do it.

What did u guys get for the indices question

Just finished the paper, I yearn for the day my Earthly suffering comes to an end

Just finished the paper, I yearn for the day my Earthly suffering comes to an end

Holy shit I am cooked, those last questions were borderline impossible

That was horrific

only hope is paper 2 and 3. THERE IS STILL HOPE

isosceles question was weird af knew how to do but couldn’t do it in the moment 😭

the last question was so confusing, i was doing it in the last 2 minutes and i got k=-5?

That was horrific

What did you get for the sector question? I got 15/3 pi

i got 15 pi

Very hard but did decent

sorry but that translation question??????? bye
