    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

    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

    Foundation is genuinely the consolation prize. Like it's one thing to have questions like that, but it's another to teach students this content over the span of 2 years and those students aren't even that young, they're 16 when they take the test. Like it's funny when you see people take SATs test (like the one from when you're 10, not the American one) and the questions are hard because they're something you learn and then forget after not doing it for years, but these are like... There is no method to forget, it's just looking at numbers and writing them again. I mean some of these are remembering stuff, like the name of the angles so those ones are fair enough I guess, but the rest have got to just be there to make you feel good because you know the answer.

    TL;DR: they got 84%
    As someone with a degree in maths, I took the liberty of marking this paper. Here was my breakdown: (also my total marks goes to 99 not 100 so either I'm going insane or it's a mistake in the paper)
    1. 3/3
    2. 4/4
    3. 3/3 but BOTD
    4. 2/2
    5. 2/2
    6. 4/4
    7. 4/4
    8. 3/3 but they did arguably cheat sooo...
    9. 5/5
    10. 3/3
    11. 3/3 (BOTD)
    12. 3/4 (probably but BOTD)
    13. 6/6
    14. 1/2 because you didn't explain
    15. 4/6 (the term is "vertically opposite" and you probably needed that to get the mark. I gave BOTD for the second part)
    16. 6/6
    17. 1/3 (no BOTD :( )
    18. 7/7
    19. 3/3
    20. 3/3
    21. 0/3
    22. 2/3
    23. 0/3
    24. 2/3
    25. 3/3
    26. 2/3
    27. 3/3
    28. 2/6 but that's being extremely generous
    Total: 84/99. Idk what the pass mark is, but that looks like a pass

      For 12(b), I decided that 15-4=11 wasn't a complicated enough calculation to deserve 2 marks, so the second mark would probably just be for knowing how to calculate it.
      I gave them 1 mark for 28(b) because what James was doing was basically the first two lines of what you did. I think he also said the answer at one point? ("six and a third") But he wasn't sure, and didn't write it, so I'm not counting it.
      But yeah, in a real paper they definitely wouldn't get away with just writing the final answers and nothing else.
