GRADE BOUNDRIES Edexcel Maths Calculator paper 09/06/2016

username2302035

I'm guessing that the grade boundaries would be something like this;

160/200 - A*
140/200 - A
110/200 - B
75/200 - C

Probably because the calculator paper wasn't that hard, which would obviously push up everyone's overall score.

I was having a guess at what they might look like, this is not 100% correct. But I would use this as a maximum grade boundary, not a minimum.

You are suggesting that the grades will be 15 marks more for an A and B than last year?! I highly doubt it...

I think this is too high, for an A anyway. I honestly didn't find the exams easy, I've done past papers that are so much easier the ones this year. But I'm thinking an A will probs be 130-135, it's never gone over 139 for our spec so...

Well... Seeing as the paper wasn't too difficult, I wouldn't be surprised if these were the grade boundaries.

Grade boundaries don't go that high.
Previous years it's been either 3-5 marks up or down

I can't speak for the whole population, however if everyone in the UK found it hard, then of course these grade boundaries will go down.

Last year the grade boundaries were low in maths so I think they will be similar to 2014 which was:
164 for an a*
133 for an a
95 for a b
57 for a c

If it is similar to that, then I've missed out on the A* by about 11 marks or so...
