Oh, exam, sorry! The Of Mice and Men exam that was in June last year, most people got a B... My school changed from edexcel, they said it was too complicated for the marks scheme.

You do know you will have probably needed 99% of the marks for full marks because English GBs are so tight.I know i haven't done that well-I'll be lucky to get an A.

I wouldn't be so pessimistic! People who were aiming to scrape As got strong A*s and many aiming for Cs got strong Bs!

I've just seen the AQA grade boundaries and I still think the B2 boundary is high, considering how hard most people found it :dontknow:

:nooo: I am not looking forward to it. Especially since prior to the unveiling of our results is a rigorous and draining PE Session

Indeed. And its even worse since its not just a normal PE session. I have to run a stupid netball tournament, with the addition of managing a bunch of screaming 14 year olds. Not my ideal afternoon :sigh:

AQA grade boundaries, anyone think the B2 grade boundaries are still quite high? Considering how hard it was :frown:


Not really - dropping a third of the marks and still getting an A*? I'm cool with that! :biggrin:
