too difficult? like 60% OF THE YEAR FOUND IT HARDISH


Yeah, it was a real mix in my year. Some people said they found it super easy, and others like myself found it challenging. I dunno maybe because it was under exam stress/conditions...

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.

really!! than i might get A*, i thought the grade boundary for A* would be something like 170-175.... but if 160 is the maximum than i guess i was wrong

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


The national average would have to be highly consistent... You need to consider that for every 5 people who get eighty, two may have gotten really low (20) and it brings the high eighties down massive in terms of averages... Consider that on a national scale and that's why they won't increase much

For the trial and improvement question, I did all the working and narrowed it down between 3-7 & 3.8 but I accidentally put down the wrong one (3.7). How many marks would i get for this question out of the four?? Thanks.
I think I got like 32 marks on paper 1 and around 36-39 marks on paper 2. What's the chances I'll get a C?

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

70 marks in total on a higher paper will get you a C whereas to get a C in the foundation paper you need to get 140 marks in total. So honestly, you have greater chance of passing on higher than foundation. Hope that answered your question.
