UPDATE: I have also included separated practice papersĀ and worked solutions in the below post that OCR have published this week. They are also in the dropbox link along ( HERE )Ā with all the others.
Having previously put my worked solutions to Edexcels SAMs ( POST HEREĀ ) todayās offering is my worked solutions to the OCR papers – again Iāve split them up from being on two documents so that each paper is separate. I am trying to be equally glib about all boardsā papers so donāt take my comments too seriously ā¦ OCR Maths team you know I love you all .. especially young Mr Macey!
When working through them I noticed that the ānon calcā paper is paper 2 unlike Edexcel and AQA that have both gone for paper 1 as the non-calculatorā¦ it’s just worth noting so that you donāt feel like a right muppet when you realise that you could have used a calculator (not that it didnāt happen to me!….. honest!)
According to their blurb:
- More manageable values in some of the questions ( MEL: I am assuming this means they have simplified some of the calculations? )
- Improved readability with clearer and reduced wording ( MEL: Jumping on the āless wordsā bandwagon?!? ā¦ has anyone ever counted the words on each paper to do a comparison? ā¦ I might just do it when I get a āspareā few hours! )
- More accessible for all with an initial step added to some questionsĀ (MEL: I noticed some of the tougher questions had some scaffolding and this should make them more accessible to some students )
