A-Level Results Day: Grade Boundaries

Scroll to see replies

So I'm a bit confused, for reformed AS level i.e. physics and chemistry will there not be UMS marks on our results slip?

how did you manage to view the a2 edexcel grade boundaries?


I wasn't looooool, I was saying thanks for letting me know that it was somewhere in the OP. I'm still confused as hell 😂😂😂😂

He's talking about the new AS.

CHEM4 isn't too bad, 90/100 UMS cap is lowest ever. CHEM5 is a bit nasty, but I sort of expected that tbh.
The Edexcel AS Maths grade boundaries 😂😭😭😭😭 I've not done well

I'm very worried though that we've collectively mucked up that paper, cos it (the 67/100 CAP mark) is the lowest out of all years', also it's 5 UMS lower than the second lowest (which is 72/100 that has stayed the same for the past 3 years). This is creepy...

That's weird, I came out of that exam thinking it went really well and that grade boundaries would be high. I mean it's good they're low I suppose but it does make you wonder if we all mucked up the essay or something

Only ray of hope are the AQA Biology unit 5 boundaries, 67/100 is the CAP mark


I don't get why the Unit 5 boundaries are so low :redface: The essay question I did (Importance of Ions) was absolutely beautiful!

omg maths?!?! wtf 87% for an A in edexcel C4...
and chemistry?? AQA chem 2 is 71/100 for an A, last year 85/100... where is the justice??????


I got 140 in CHEM2 last year, but I know people who are resitting and 71/100 is an unbelievably low grade boundary.

Questions leading up to it were rather difficult, I seem to remember.

i cant work out if thats good or bad like 30s for an A? is that good?


Exactly! It's not like the sciences or maths where I can be certain, history is really confusing.

Looks like we'll just have to wait and see :/

I feel the same. It was a standard paper with a really lovely essay question. Nearly everyone on the exam discussion thread of this exam agreed the boundaries would stay the same as the past 3 years if not even higher. This is really very surprising and worrying. I wonder what has gone wrong...

i didn't resit it but i got 84 marks last year so you can imagine my disappointment because it's 1 MARK OFF... for this year's A2 resit to get an A for 71 marks is beyond unfair, especially while the other units are high...

as for maths, are you joking? 86% for M1 and 75% for S1! but S1 was wayyyy easier than M1 wtf are they on??? (i did both)
could someone pls help me out
if i got an E on one paper and a B on another, what are the chances of me passing
