I did many past papers before the exam and all of them were equal in difficulty but in the exam, it got very difficult very quickly and should have stuck with the structure of previous exams. It's how students prepare, there is only so much you can expect 16 year olds to know. Most adults don't know half the questions in any of the exams we sit.

Right now
There is a kid finishing Parents' Evening in a heated discussion with his mother
Saying, why does he have to study subjects he will never ever use in his life?
And she will look at him blank-eyed, stifle a sigh, think for a second and then lie
She'll say something along the lines of:
"You know to get a good job, you need a good degree and these subjects will help you get a degree, we never had this opportunity when I was younger".
And he will reply:
"But you were young a long time ago, weren't you mum?"
And she won't respond although what he implies makes perfect sense that society's needs would have changed since he was 16
But she will ignore him, grip his hand more sternly and drag him to the car
What she doesn't know is that she didn't ignore him just to shut him up
She didn't lie because they are just returning him from Parents' Evening
And an argument in the hallway would look bad on her resume
She won't lie because she had just spent the last one hour convincing a stern face teacher that she would ensure that her child studies more at home
No! She will lie simply, because she does not know any better herself
Although all her adult life, she has never used or applied
Pythagorean theorem, Pathetic fallacy, and still does not know the value of "X"
She will rely on society to tell her that her child, who has one of the sharpest minds in the school, is hyperactive, unfocused,

the maths non calculator paper was extremely difficult. This was due to topics coming up we were not fully aware of and we were taken by shock. We were not prepared for certain questions and skills we had to use. Because of this I believe you should hardly consider making the mark boundaries lower as this exam wasn't fair.

I am a maths teacher and I feel ever so bad for my students, I've been teaching them GCSE topics not A-level topics, do you know why, well it's because they are doing their GCSE. So I hope the exam board will do the right thing and put the grade boundaries down!

The test was unlike anything I've ever practices the questions were ridiculous and most of the things on it required a calculator, please drop the grade boundaries to give us the best chance to succeed as I don't feel it was fair! Thank you
