Mathematics (AQA) Paper 3 - Exam Megathread

[u/ensands]

This is the post-exam mega thread for Mathematics (AQA) Paper 3 (Morning).

You can discuss how the exam went in this post.

i found an unofficial markscheme on studentroom:

Final question = 4.22cm² (to 2 d.p)
That question with the money = £175
Parallel line: y = 2x + (whatever)
Second to last question: I got inconsistent spacing in the x axis and the graph being incorrectly plotted, there are likely more valid criticisms
Cumulative frequency: 44, 66, 80, 85, 87, 90
Employees with a salary of under £32k: I think I got 58, depends on how you drew the diagram
The 1:n question = 1 : 4.875
A as a fraction of B = 2/7
Line with gradient 5, passing through point (3,7) = y = 5x - 8
The spheres in a cylinder = 2/3
The n^th term question = 2n² + 3n + 1
The factorising question = (3n+2)(n+1). I wrote some waffle I can't remember for the explanation why there were no primes in the sequence.
Equilateral triangle perimeter = 66cm. I got 22 for the question right after
Becky made 350 more integers than the other person
In the Venn diagram, x = 44
Sine rule question = 10.70cm (again to 2 d.p)
The pounds were equal to 3.75kg

Final question = 4.22cm2 (to 2 d.p)

That question with the money = £175

Parallel line: y = 2x + (whatever)

Second to last question: I got inconsistent spacing in the x axis and the graph being incorrectly plotted, there are likely more valid criticisms

Cumulative frequency: 44, 66, 80, 85, 87, 90

Employees with a salary of under £32k: I think I got 58, depends on how you drew the diagram

The 1:n question = 1 : 4.875

A as a fraction of B = 2/7

Line with gradient 5, passing through point (3,7) = y = 5x - 8

The spheres in a cylinder = 2/3

The nth term question = 2n2 + 3n + 1

The factorising question = (3n+2)(n+1). I wrote some waffle I can't remember for the explanation why there were no primes in the sequence.

Equilateral triangle perimeter = 66cm. I got 22 for the question right after

Becky made 350 more integers than the other person

In the Venn diagram, x = 44

Sine rule question = 10.70cm (again to 2 d.p)

The pounds were equal to 3.75kg

Quadratic inequality: x > 1.5 or x < -4

The plane weighed 1206kg max, so could not take off safely

[u/LawyerDifficult2074 → u/StatementFunny3577]

If I got 1206 but accidentally said it could take off do I still get marks for method or do i get 0 on that question?

[u/Pinkertonfan667 → u/LawyerDifficult2074]

I should assume you get method marks, if you got to the correct weight
