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 If only my GCSEs had been this easy 😭

Yeah but you have a chance to get higher than a C. If you did this paper, yeah you'd probably ace it, but you'd only ever be able to get a C, even if you studied really hard and learned all the difficult stuff. I'm pretty sure employers/colleges/unis are also biased against the foundation tier.
