Guys..Imagine this:
I was scrolling through the comments on this thread and noticed one TSRian complaining about GB of English and not being to calculate the marks using the GB as the subject is 'subjective'...
So...
Imagine if there was only a limit to how many A*s (top grade) could be given out, and subsequently all the other grades ...e.g
100,000 students take GCSEs every year...and across all exam boards only 20,000 children in English Lit could be given A*s etc..
