What are your predictions for edexcel maths grade boundaries?

I don't know anything about a 38 gap mark between A-C Grades.

Yes, I think the GB for C will be or should be around 80 (maybe even 75).

Think about it! 80/200 is 40%. If a person cannot get 40% in something like Maths, which has a definite answer (unlike subjective subjects e.g. English, R.E), can be taught and learnt, then I'm sorry..

I don't think someone can struggle so much to obtain a C? With maths its constant practise and no stress. If one cannot work on their own after trying, there's tuition.

I've seen the GB for those years. I was going to put down 75 but changed it to 80 because I think the paper was a fair one and 80 deserves to be a C (although I hope all the GB drop). It was 65 last year, and this year was much easier than last so I think it might go to 75, defo should go to 70. I don't see why C should go below 70 (35%).

Manchester isn't the only city that took it that everyone's complaining. November are the resits, 9-1 paper isn't needed!

(Original post by sulaimanali)I think GB will beA* - 165A - 135B - 105C - 80D - 60E - 35

Why do you think C so high?

I have copied my original question to you from yesterday which you chose to ignore!! Your reasoning above is completely wrong and groundless for Grade Boundaries !!

I can get 95%+ on every GCSE Maths paper I do, but I know pupils who are brilliant at English and other subjects but when it comes to numeracy they have a barrier. So, "YOU should think about it". I am sure you are an intelligent person (how do you measure intelligence) but are clearly ignorant when it comes to understanding pupils' abilities and how the brain works.

it was a very fair paper. It wasn't something extremely difficult. Lots of people are whining about the easier (C grade and below questions) needlessly.[/b

I would say 100 do you think it will go up to 105 and are grade boundaries made by how everyone did nationally ?? 10 mark difference i find hard to belive i hope it stays 95-100

Yes Dr peter, someone who I agree with, what do you think the grade boundaries will be?

November is time of the year when the grade boundaries increase, June 2015 for an A you needed 125, November went up drastically by 135, look at the pattern, it increases for November, then stays the same, do you understand what I am trying to say? As I said before, it may have been very easy for you, but other people struggled on the paper.

My predictions
A* 168
A 136
B 100
C 65

I doubt it goes over 100 tbh

True true

@Sulemanali (sorry for the SP) ,i'm glad you found it easy however like Lalawrw said,June 2015 doesn't increase much.June 2015 was 95 for a B (for e.g).And Nov was 98.
I don't think it'll exceed 70 for a C.Maths papers are set so a certain percentage can get A*/A/B/C etc,so they shouldn't make it "easier" or "harder"(Although imo last year was rlly hard)

I was going to answer your question yesterday (I wrote a whole para on it, but my internet connection stopped working so it didn't submit, so I lost the message). Whether you choose to believe me is entirely your decision and I don't care if you do. I'll get over it - don't you worry!

Your just the same as lalalrw (not sure if the spelling is right)! You choose to believe what you want. I told you my guesses are just predictions and I may well be wrong. I don't mind if I'm wrong, the lower the GB, the better for everyone. I think the paper was fair and 75-80 should be the mark for a C. 2 years worth of work (practise practise) shouldn't just be for 35-40% (a pass grade).

It's so funny to see how you're raging at such a petty issue. It's good if you can get 95% and above. When I said "think about it", I didn't mean it in a harsh tone, but an imaginative tone, telling you to put yourself in a situation and think realistically (but if that's how you understood it, so be it).

Thank you for complimenting me in the midst of this 'discussion'.

I don't think I am ignorant (as you may suppose). I know people's 'abilities'. I'm saying all this from my own hard work. I wasn't great at maths either, but I had tuition (for 5-6 years) from primary to secondary school to up me that I'm achieving A-A*. It's just the sense, effort and hard work.

I'm not trying to be rude or mean by the way!

I'm so worried for maths because usually in class and mocks I get over 85 (not bragging) but when I've entered the exam hall I feel so nervous and can't concentrate as normal. I've made so many silly mistakes on a paper that I didn't find hard. I think I lost 18/19 marks on paper 1 and 15 on paper 2. I'm scared for my A*.

I am literally in the same position as you!! Everything you said also applies to me in terms of the marks.

Umm why is A* so high
