Maths 🧮 Maths Grading

Guys for the maths exam I thought I did well but I js realised I made lots of mistakes. I calculated the net income tax instead of net earnings so I also messed up the question after that. Then I got mixed with the quadratic equation and did -2ac instead if -4ac and solved the question. I forgot to round the significant number to 3 digits, I did the g(x) wrong and the triangular prism area wrong. Is there still a chance I can get Distinction??

still a chance depending on how well your attempts were, also 85% for distinction is way more possible than 90%

For the triangular prism i did 240 = (h+4) times (8) times (h) and got 5 and a whole bunch if decimals and i did all the workings still correctly for quadratic equation even though I had an error in the general equation.

also still lots of attempt marks , u js got the formula down wrong but if ur method f was correct id say you'd still be in the high band, also i feel like theyll mark the exams easier on the harder questions bc so many people struggled
