Mathematics -2381 Modular question

Hi guys, well I've been currently revising for the resit of my Maths GCSE. Since I left school in 2010 I will be doing the 2381 modular test- this is my last opportunity to retake this.

Anyway I just have a few questions regarding the 2381 test. First of all, what are the grade boundaries? I'm aiming for C grade (I’ll be doing the foundation paper.)

And secondly, If I do fail it again (3rd time unlucky) how much of a difference is the new 2010 and onwards maths GCSE paper? Is it harder to a degree?

And lastly, does anyone have any tips they would like to share with me? I'm currently looking though the past papers, going through questions which judging by my past experience almost certainly do appear again and again- why I can't seem to get the grade I really don't know :frown:

Thanks!

The grade boundaries change from year to year

Aim for 80% + to be reasonably confident

The new exam covers the same material so you will just have to look at the newer style questions
