Surely it would be completely unfair to change the grade boundaries based on how well the average person did? If everyone ended up doing brilliantly, they couldn't change an A to 24 could they? Surely that would just be the same as having the A* grade for A level!?

I think that's how they do it. For example, one year an exam paper may be easy (more people get higher raw marks) and they therefore push grade boundaries up because of this. That's what I was under the impression they did.

i get 16 in my practise essays sometimes and my teacher always puts 'A' by it. oh god i hope it is an A because I don't think I got any higher than that on my essays, especially not the adolecence one, how harsh was that question? there's hardly any research into it unless you bring in the theories, which I did cuz I couldn't remember enough studies. here comes a big fat U. :frown:
