Judging by last year's boundaries, it would be an A* (just).
You can see the boundaries and convert to UMS here: http://web.aqa.org.uk/UMS/index.php

Well done mate! I did that and got 48/60 so pretty much just scraped an A.
Last year it was 47 for an A (80 UMS) and 53 for an A* (90 UMS).

However, it has been increasing by 1 mark every year, as usual :frown:, so I would say we need 54/60 and 48/60 for an A* and A respectively.

So, that is most likely the highest A possible, about 88 UMS. Good mark though.:biggrin:

Honestly, as a non-religious person I don't see why I would give something I enjoy up for 40 days haha :smile:

I'll be doing revision, that's similar right?

I'm attempting to give up unhealthy snacks between meals (eg can still eat fruit etc). Day 1 and I'm already struggling!
Hellooo :smile:
Only just realised I can comment on this post, saw last years but was just a measly year 10.
I only have 10 weeks left of school :redface: and then various exams and then my prom on the 30th of June and I'm done forever. Feels gooooood. And scary.

Coming up I have an English Lit controlled assessment on Of Mice and Men (a few lessons in early March) and a Maths Resit (7th March).

Its all sinking in on how hard I'll to work from now but I just don't have any motivation to work :frown: I procrastinate so badly and its awful. Need help to get me into revising haha or if anyone has advice on to make revising 'fun'. Or at least interesting.
