id say in the 74-76% for an A* range. it was definitely harder than last years, but a lot of people found last years easy, yet our teacher told us that was a hard exam because the boundary for last year was 75% for an A*.
if it was harder than last years then I'm thinking the grade boundaries are going to be pulled even lower I'd say 128/129 for A*

110 A

95 B

I think it went pretty good, the only question i was iffy about what the one about advantages of releasing less greenhouse gases. i just put there would be less heat trapped, meaning less global warming - because if heat is trapped then this would lead to more polar ice caps melting and causing floods, and also how they could kill plants like tress leading to the effects of deforestation (leaching, soil erosion etc.). I really think i messed up on that question :frown:

What did you guys put for that question? it was out of 5 marks

They have put grade boundaries like that in the past, so I have faith that they will be the grade boundaries
When will we find out what the grade boundaries are and our results?:bath:
What did you put for the variables for the children experiment question

that the amount of time they exercise for is kept the same, and that they all exercise at the same time (together) in order to keep the conditions the same. what about you?
