Maths Unit 3 non-calc paper 2011

So I'm assuming I'm quite safe to talk about the Maths paper my year 11 sat on Monday afternoon.

It was a bloomin' pig of an exam! It missed out so much and made the questions it did have into the hardest type possible! Surface area wasn't your 'right' prisms - it was comparing cones and hemispheres! Changing the subject wasn't your standard formula - it had the new subject as both numerator and denominator of a fraction! Ratio wasn't just 'shared in a given ratio' - it had a convoluted way of working out the ratios!

All I can say is I hope that the next (calculator) paper is reduced in difficulty to counteract the harshness of this one OR they seriously drop the grade boundary!

We'll know by Friday.......
