So do you guys think the C1 grade boundary will be lower than last years of 50 for A*?? I think C2 was easier than last year, leading me to think that the A* boundary will be around 51-53.

I think C1 could be 48-50, C2 around 52 and C3 44/45 since it's usually somewhat lower than the other two

I got a C (35/50), I redid it and got 43 which was 1 mark off an A* (Biology isa).
I got 11/60 in B3 mock, but I reckon I did so much better in the current exam I knew most of it.


I hated P3, I loved learning P2 though. I got scissors thrown at me in my Statistics class but I'll still come out with a good grade, the classroom control was just crap for that subject.



I know😅

The only part of P3 I enjoyed was the pendulum and hydraulics but that didn't even come up:angry:

P3 was so boring

If I'm correct, if you want a remark, you should discuss it with your subject teacher on the day to see if it's the right thing to do. I believe it costs money and it may not go up. If you are really close to the grade above (especially if it's an entry grade), it's always good to talk to your teacher to see what him/her think about this.

Thank you for explaining it, I'd always wondered how it all worked. Pointless to think about all that before I have results ahahaha

This may be a stupid question but what will we actually see on results day on that sheet of paper? The grade we got for each subject, what about coursework grades, percentages, raw or UMS marks?


I was wondering what we see on our results sheet as well

Does anyone remember if the last question on P2 was 2 or 3 marks? If it was 3 the answer was 12 m/s2 (which is what I put, you had to workout a resultant force) but if 2 it was 22 m/s2.

Some unofficial mark schemes have 22, and some have 12 lol

Yeah I agree with that. Did you find C3 somewhat challenging though?

Only a little. I remember not knowing an answer to something and making silly mistakes (like the question about reactivity - answer was fluorine according to unofficial mark schemes) but I did some hardcore revision. Oh, I did find the topic on water a bit hard (I usually don't know what the examiner wants when they ask about something on this topic)

I crossed out my answer so many times! And my original answer was correct :mad: should have gone with my gut feeling
I don't envy any examiner who had to mark mine, I crossed out so much myself

There's a forum on here that might have that but I'm not sure if that was last years?
