Perhaps the grade boundaries are high because of the new GCSE spec being introduced for the year below us. Perhaps the government want this years results looks bad, so next year they can say that this new spec is great because all the results will improve

Isn't it 79 marks to get a C for edexcel?

why is aqa biology 1 the highest its ever been?
49 is ridiculous
especially after all the complaints


Same that's what I thought, the grade boundaries all seem to be ridiculously high except AQA physics 3
I wish you all the best of luck! (from a former Year 12)

On the Edexcel website it says that you need 38 marks on paper 1 and 41 marks on paper 2 which adds up to 79 for C:/

I don't understand why b3 is significantly lower than b1

P3 IS SO LOW BLESS. Chemistry is so high, however. But the exams were easy so.

I think you're onto something there, it makes perfect sense. I'm sure my teacher did warn us that they could be high this year due to that


It's scary to think about but I don't see why it couldn't happen

Grade boundaries do tend to rise as specifications become older; teachers get better at teaching them, students have more past papers from which to practise, and there's only so many ways to ask a question (as we saw with one of the chemistry questions which was almost identical to a previous question).

Whilst I doubt that grade boundaries would be deliberately raised for that purpose, I can't say I'd be surprised about it...
