Maths GCSE 2017 | Edexcel Higher Paper 1 (non-calculator)

In this video I go over questions from the 2017 higher paper 1 which was sat on the 25th May. I hope you find it useful.

I found your explanation of question 22 very helpful. I have often regarded many of the last 3-5 questions on a paper such as this as Bizarre, Advanced, Somewhat Time-consuming And Really Difficult Sums (which I shall henceforth refer to by their acronym*), like algebraic probability questions. But this was much worse. The partnering questions in this paper were relatively mild-mannered but this one really made up for it. Without your help, I'd would not have got through it! Unlike some, I see no problems with your working although you did skip through about three substages (including some less-obvious details, e.g. multiplying all the RHS numerator and denominator by -1) in your penultimate rearrangement of the equation. What I do object to, however, is your use of the term, "nice" in describing what for me was the biggest and meanest of the B.A.S.T.A.R.D.S* I have ever met.

Is the working out for the last question wrong cause it’s AC^2 not AC.

[mlyka]

18:24 “quite a nice question” 😂😂 it’s really really not.

I remember not doing the last question in the exam partly cos I didn't have time and it looked difficult. A year later and I look at this question thinking how the hell did I find that difficult. I'm just glad I did good in the other two papers since I got a 9.

In Q10, it says to write the answer in the form ax^3+bx^2+cx+d where a, b, c and d are positive integers. However for your answer you didn't have a positive integer for the ax^3 part of the equation. In the exam would you have to write a 1 in front to show the integer?

Im sitting my maths paper 1 higher in 1 and a half weeks, i can do all questions except the last one so i think i can get an 8 😃

At 28:01, you divided both sides by -200. Isn't that incorrect? On the RHS, x^2 (2-*root*3) and -200 are two different
terms. Can't you not do that?

Hello would you be able to go through some of the key questions in the edexcel 2017 November exams if possible please
Thanks

[xellyx]

4/9 doesn’t cancel to 2/3 and 3/10 doesn’t cancel to 1/5 on question 14 I’m so confused

[.-cd]

Could you go through all the questions is possible?

[benign]

Sorry but at 24:50 did you multiply? Am just not used to that quick method cause I feel like I might make some small errors.

[havz]

If possible can you do the questions in order? Just asking.

[henrysutcliffe]

Will you be going through paper 2 and 3 of these exams?

[Jenny]

Where you getting the paper and questions from?

[icontrolthespice]

This is hard.. And i have to do this today too...

[emmanuelbeltazar]

Yeah it should be squared...you got the cosine rule wrong. But the rest was helpful indeed

[jakeaustin]

16?? Why have signs changed for 4n an -4

[zest]

Do you know where I can find the November set of these exams? Very good practice

[maanavpatel]
