Yeah you get marks for showing your working out, which is why teachers stress it that you should show your working out on every exercise paper - Even if your final answer is wrong.

Nobody will know how many marks YOU need, without knowing the tier that YOU done.

How about a foundation paper?
DO NOT WORRY!

On average, 60 marks are needed on the higher tier for a C grade, however, in some years it has varied. To me, I considered this examination serious to be a bit easier than last years. However, last years boundaries were high and this was abnormal and this meant there was a high amount of students who had to resit. This year, i predict it will be 62 for a C as todays paper was a really weird paper, it seemed a bit too random.

hope this helps

Just coming out the exam and listening to everyone doing good, makes me wonder if i did good:|; wish the grade boundaries are low this year as if it's high i doubt i would get a C and i'd have to resit my maths which would be a shame; i revised and revised but when i sat in the exam i forgot everything; i tried my hardest i had a look at the mark scheme that was put up and i realised that i didn't do as well as i thought i did, just disappointed in myself to be honest but thank you :smile:.

70 Marks combined from both papers will get you a C in higher paper. 140 marks combined from both papers will get you a C in foundation.
