what do you reckon the grade boundaries will be? and what out of 60 do you normally need for each grade?

The UNIT 2 this year seemed much harder than UNIT last year? Do you think the GRADE BOUNDARIES will go up or down? I failed this test:frown: I got 28-30

There are two types..modular and linear and they surely won't get rid of modular and only have linear. If you're in year 11 and didn't do so well on your unit one and as well as this unit, then I would assume your school would allow you to change to do linear which would mean that your previous exams don't count. Not entirely sure what you're actually asking though, could you rephrase?
I think I got anywhere from 50-56 in this exam do you think the grade boundaries will be lower for an A*
in 2010 November an A* was 47 so it could of been a hard paper that time...
... did u think the paper was harder than the november 2011 ? if , the grade boundaries are likely to be lowered .... P.s. in my schoool alll (dumm ) people rettok therefore if this happend to lots than the grade boundary will be low!!

The government wants all GCSE exams to be linear but don't worry Dan, the change won't be immediate. There will be oppotunities to resit modular units if you need to. If you do switch to linear at any stage you'll find your modular syllabus already uses the new types of questions that the linear exams will feature for the first time this summer.

am in year 9 also just got my results and also got an A, dont know grade boundries yet but they r definately lower

To get an A, you need 44/60. The rest of the boundaries are here:http://www.edexcel.com/iwantto/I%20want%20to%20%20Tasks/1203%20GCSE%20Units%20Grade%20Boundaries.pdf

The results for Unit Two are on the last page :smile:

As this paper was harder than last years the grade boundaries are slightly lower. To get an A* you would have to get 52
