Oops sorry I'm in +1hrs timezone I forgot to take that into account
Someone needs to make a Hitler video for the Edexcel grade boundaries.
Does anyone know if the possibility of universities telling us their decisions before tomorrow (18AUG) is high or low?? I can't wait anymore!!!!
Are OCR and aqa grade boundaries out yet? I'm too scared to look!

These grade boundaries are fake: http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/1606-AS-and-level-Grade-Boundaries-Final.pdf

Look at how pixelated the logo is for one, and two they don't use the Pearson logo on the top they use the Edexcel one (unless they randomly decided to change it and reduce the quality, which I highly doubt is the case). Also note that the Pearson logo thing is on the bottom of the page, the fake grade boundaries omit that.

Compare it to the layout of previous years' grade boundaries:
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/1506-A-level-Grade-Boundaries.pdf
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/1406_GCE_A_level_Grade_Boundaries.pdf
http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/Support/Grade-boundaries/A-level/GCE-Composite-1306-v4.pdf

Also, the 2016 grade boundaries aren't actually on the website yet: http://qualifications.pearson.com/content/demo/en/support/support-topics/results-certification/grade-boundaries.html/?Qualification-Family=AS-and-A-level

Literally, someone made these for a laugh.


Pearson have revently been bought by Edexcel or vice verse. If you look at your textbooks they all have the Pearson logo on them.

That's why all the new spec textbooks that aren't Edexcel have been published by Longman or others as Pearson has such strong links with Edexcel.

They're not allowed to by UCAS (there's an embargo until the 18th) but it's not unheard of for them to get in contact early
Feeling much better now I've seen the OCR f214 and f215 grade boundaries 😂 Lower than I expected. I actually have a chance at getting a B🎉
Just seeing F215 had 61 for an A out of 100, that's a big gap allowing mistakes😀

I see:frown: Waiting for the results is definitely a pain and torture...
Most of y'all after seeing OCR grade boundaries :

"Crashing, hit a wall, right now - I need a miracle..."

Don't let me down, AQA. PLEASE.
