Maths GCSE calculator paper?

Anyone know of an objective sheet for the Edexcel board?

http://www.edexcel.org.uk/quals/gcse/maths/lin/1387/ and choose whichever maths type you're on in the grey links then do the specification.

I'm not sure the examiners would appreciate having to mark papers covered in hair...

No, thats just the media choosing the easiest questions off the foundation paper and making everyone think GCSE's nowadays are a complete joke.

a-levels are when it gets hard. at gcse level you get taught the exact syllabus and that's drilled into you and it's not actually that hard in the end, although still challenging. a-level though, phwoar. (mainly maths)

Pfft, piece of cake!

Challenging maybe, not really hard, at least for me.

I'm actually finding A-level maths easier than I did GCSE, but that's probably just because I'm actually interested in it and want to learn, which certainly wasn't the case at GCSE

I feel retarded now, because the MEI maths was insanely hard; all papers, I think I'm going to have to drop it next year.

spirit · 11 Jun 2006 at 17:54

i think MEI is one of the harder boards. To be fair, gcse and alevels have been getting WAY easier. There will be a difference over 10 years, but to really see it get a physics paper from 1960s and compare to one now.

I got the calculator paper tomorrow

gam3r · 11 Jun 2006 at 17:59

Ahh...the maths GCSE.

I did the MEI C2 and S1 and they were quite hard.

Good luck everybody, seems ages ago since I did my GCSEs aswell (5 years).

Always used to write pythagoras (sp) theorum on my black calculator with a pencil which could only been seen when shone at a certain angle

You needed to cheat in order to remember a²+b²=c²? :eek:
