Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)Out of 30?,i think so,these should be the rough grade boundaries:(Original post by themancunian)
AQA, language
A*-27
A-24
B-20
C-16
Band 5:25-30
Band 4:19-24
Band 3:13-18
Band 2:7-12
Band 1:1-6
So,if you got the lowest mark in the band,you would get a C,the highest mark in the band,you would get an A and anything between,a B. -

Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)...(Original post by themancunian)
Go and ask, maybe they forgot o.o
They have said we're not doing work experience. -
Re: Current Year 10 Thread (2011/2012)that sounds really interesting, explain more. also what exam board are you doing? because i'm doing AQA applied business and it's really boring. there's nothing practical.(Original post by Saleemadat)
Well, I had to do case studies for businesses, and I worked for a market research company dealing with businesses in the fortune 500. Over these two weeks, I probably typed over 20,000 words about businesses. Yet it was very good experiences.
