Yeah I would say anything above 35 is a C cause last year it was 33 for a C it will go up by one or two marks. Aim for 40 in the calculator.

Don't worry. Which paper are you doing? I did the Edexcel one today and really struggled. You can make up for it in your calculator one. That's my aim because I'm much stronger at the calculator paper than the non-calc. Plus, if lots of people found it difficult, they'll probably change the grade boundaries. Just stay calm and focus on your calculator one. :smile:

what exam board did you do???

last year was the highest for edexcel and you needed 95 to get a B. I dont see them adding 10 marks but around 100 would be ok

Well I got 37 something I think, by looking at the markscheme, how much would I need for atleast a B?

to be safe i was trying to get 50 ish on each paper.
you would need 63 to be safe since the grade boundries will go up (only a few marks tho)

I dont why people are checking the unofficial markschemes lol it just makes you more stressed out (& i cant even remember most of the answers i put down) just work hard for the next exam and you'll be fine and the second paper topics will be easy to predict

use maths genie as revision (REALLY useful) it gives you videos for each topic and there are exam questions from previous papers and solutions available
