Edexcel - Maths 2016

Does anyone know what the maximum marks could the exam board lower the grade boundaries by? And what would it take for them to do so?
overall:
a star - 170
a- 145
b- 105
c-80

This is being really harsh but i think edexcel are going to give us a shocker this year

145 is far too high
This is what i think the grade boundaries will look like:

A* - 161 marks
A - 130 marks
B - 99 marks
C - 70 marks

There is no way a C grade is 80 lol
Yeah I'd say around 135, in past years they have only ever put the grade boundaries up or down by a maximum of 10, so I believe it will go up ten from 125 to 135 for an A, And probably around 165 for an A*

If these were the grade boundaries it would be amazing, lets hope they are.

Why, do you think that the paper was harder this year?

Hopefully because November 2015 was easier than today's paper and they needed 167 for an A*
