Because it was a very easy paper. My prediction was based off of the qualitative data I have received.
Just because you found the paper easy does not necessarily mean that every one else found it easy. I found the second paper easy but I found some of the first paper difficult.

Probably, considering that the papers were apparently "easy", I would expect the grade boundaries to be a little higher than previous years. (When I mean a little, I mean like 2 or 3 marks)

But don't stress now, you'll have done great!

Good Luck!

http://www.mathsgenie.co.uk/papers/gradebound.pdf last year was 65 and looking at the trend shown here you should be fine as anyway over 70 is closer to where the B grade boundary is.
I thimk i got around 168, would this be an a*???

I hate how there seems to be such a big jump in marks from an A to A* :frown:

Those boundaries are miles too high especially for an A considering 2015 was 125,2014 was 133 and 2013 was 131
I totally flopped the second maths paper but I got at least 68 marks in the first paper and then at least 45 in the second will I still get a B??
