Well goodbye my grades

Posted from TSR Mobile

I'm sure it won't be too much of a rise but I know they'll rise as last year the Hannah's sweets question brought A* down to 155 in Maths, it's mean to go up to about 170-175 this year.

Yeah, not surprised about last year. Let's hope that they're low enough to make me feel better :P

I was thinking more like 130 for an A as it was slightly harder than 2013 and 2014 overall
Edexcel, to be honest, is easier than AQA. The AQA Modular Maths papers were solid.
Also, quick question, how do you understand the GCSE results published in the newspaper ?
wat does everyone think edexcel gcse maths GBs will be ?

A grade is accurate but A* has been way higher than that in edexcel.

The highest it's been is 176 so it won't go higher than that but i have reason to believe it'll be higher than 170

I didn't find it that bad tbh. We had the easiest 6 marker in history and even though I got the independent company question wrong, it was common knowledge. Alcohol and drugs did come up in the Drugs topic so they can question it, and even though drunk teenagers may be offensive it wasn't a bad question. I think Biology was pretty reasonable this year.

The number of GCSEs passed will be in a set of brackets "(x)" and the number of subjects taken will be next to it. For example, "10 (9)."

that was old spec so isn't relevant
the highest i've seen it on the current spec is 169, and i can't see it going higher than that, calculator seemed easy enough but non calculator had a few nonstandard questions towards the end

(do take this with a pinch of salt bc i did my maths gcse last year and am going off opinions of friends as well as my own after seeing the papers)

I think 176 was the old specification. With the new specification the highest grade was 165 and tbf that paper was super easy.
