    As a certified nerd, I saw someone marking this, but weren't very accurate, so I'm going to give my markings. I also found the marking allocation, so this is accurate
    Generally Cambridge are very strict on working out, but I won't be that harsh. I will be basing working out marks on what they say and what they write. I will also be giving corrections
    Qu 1: 3/3
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 1/1
    Qu 2: 4/4
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 1/1
    d) 1/1
    Qu 3: 3/3
    a) I can't judge this correctly due to the fact I don't have the sheet physically. I will give the mark though, bc I'm sure they know how to use a ruler
    b) 1/1 - Cambridge is lenient when it comes to measuring angles, they will give the mark usually if you are up to two off. I went and measured this angle. It is exactly 35° therefore they get the mark
    c) 1/1
    Qu 4: 2/2
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    Qu 5: 2/2
    Qu 6: 4/4
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 1/1
    d) 1/1 - it would've been better to specify that they were multiplying the term by 2, and adding 1 to the result. The correct format is actually '2n+1'. However they would still receive the mark)
    Qu 7: 4/4
    Qu 8: 3/3
    a) 2/2 (since they realised their mistake, I'm giving the mark)
    b) 1/1
    Qu 9: 5/5
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 1/1
    d) 2/2
    Qu 10: 3/3
    a) 1/1
    b) 2/2
    Qu 11: 3/3
    i) 1/1
    ii) 2/2
    Qu 12: 2/4
    a) 1/1
    b) 0/2 - the range is 15-4, therefore, the answer is 11. Even though the working is correct and he made a mistake by subtracting 6, this won't come through to the examiner whether he actually knows what range is. Therefore no marks)
    c) 1/1
    Qu 13: 5/6
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 2/2
    d) 1/2 - he didn't show working
    Qu 14: 2/2
    Qu 15: 4/6
    a) 1/2 - answer is correct. However the reasoning is vertically opposite angles are equal
    b) 3/4 - didn't give all reasoning needed
    Qu 16: 5/6
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 2/2
    d) 1/2 - answer is correct, however working out is not
    Qu 17: 1/3
    a) 1/1
    b) 0/2 - tessellating is when you draw shapes directly next to each other. What George was drawing is known as congruent shapes
    Qu 18: 7/7
    a) 3/3
    b) 4/4
    Qu 19: 3/3
    a) 1/1
    b) 1/1
    c) 1/1 (we'll ignore the number 40 and go on what he said 😭)
    Qu 20: 3/3
    a) 1/1
    b) 2/2
    Qu 21: 0/3
    4| 3, 5, 7, 7
    5| 0, 3, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 8
    6| 1, 2, 2
    Key: (e.g) 6|1 is 61g
    Qu 22: 2/2
    Qu 23: 0/3 - enlarging by a scale factor of 2 from the centre point 1,0
    Qu 24: 2/2
    Qu 25: 3/3
    Qu 26: 2/2
    Qu 27: 3/3
    Qu 28: 1/6
    a) 1/1
    b) 0/3 - working:
    8x - 12 = 5x + 7
    8x - 5x = 12 + 7
    3x = 19
    x = 19/3
    c) 0/2 - working:
    y² + 5y + 4y + 20
    y² + 9y + 20
    Therefore their mark is: 81/100

    The stupid part is that it's actually or was actually depending on how the tests have changed since 2012 easier to get a C on a higher paper than a Foundation paper even if you were thick because most higher papers questionswerethe same as lowers to an extent usually changing after totaling enough points to for a C, this is how I managed to sleep thought all my tests and pass 36points was a sweet C!
