    (c) 8cm2 = ………………………………………..mm2 (2 marks)

    that's just stupidly easy

      It seems knowing how SI unit multipliers work is worth 4 marks out 110.

      I don't think that's unreasonable.

        <PAH> 6/7 - forgot all about angles

        Anyway can't concentrate as blooming Oasis (or their support act) are rehearsing at Heaton park and they are VERY loud.
        I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

          I'm helping one of my kids with revision at the moment.

          The questions certainly aren't all trivial in the test papers we're using, and the test papers we're using aren't the higher tier.

          (yes ok there are quite a few easy ones at the start)

            7/7 and I didn't even bother working out the answers out fully, the wrong answers were easier to eliminate.

            i.e. for the equation the result must have a 'minus something B' and only one answer fitted that.

                    I have never understood the Pissing Contest analogy.......

                    Is it the one most "full of piss" who is the winner?
