    What would have been the pass score for this paper? Out of 53 marks available what would be needed?

    • @SimonHTT
      @SimonHTT  4 місяці тому

      Usually around 60% is enough to pass but I think Highfield used to have a higher limit, more like 65%. Note that 53 marks is just for the calculator section, in total there are 70 marks available.

    Do they watch you while you do the exam ?

      @youngskeamz7270 Yes. That's why it can help to do a mock exam or try to replicate exam conditions, because it can feel a bit strange if you haven't sat a formal exam in a while.

    hi, in your opinion and experience, what examining body has the hardest questions? i find city and guilds questions more challenging. what do you think?

    • @SimonHTT
      @SimonHTT  Рік тому

      Really interesting question. I was talking to someone recently who thought the language used by C&G was more difficult to interpret. Personally, I think them and Edexcel are similar, although the format of the papers are different. I find NCFE papers tend to be quite challenging, as well as Highfield.

      @@eleanorjoyce8684 I'm not sure I would say easiest, but City & Guilds and Pearson Edexcel appear to be the most popular. Pearson definitely have the most past papers to practice with.

    Hi what difference between level 1 and level2

    • @SimonHTT
      @SimonHTT  Рік тому +2

      Level 2 doesn't really have many topics that aren't at least touched on in level 1 but it goes into them in more detail. For example, in level 1 you need to know how to work out the area of a rectangle. In level 2 you also need to know how to work out the area of a triangle, trapezium, circle,...
      It is quite a step up and while a lot of people go straight to level 2, because that might be what they need for their work or to get onto a course, it is worth looking at what's covered in level 1 (or even E3) first as that will give you a good solid understanding to start from.

    Hi 900x1.06x1.06=1011.24

    • @SimonHTT
      @SimonHTT  Рік тому

      Correct. And the question wants the interest so you then need to subtract the original £900 to get £111.24. Remember this is in the non-calculator section of the paper, which makes this question a bit more challenging.
