    I think I got 50 on the non calculator and 60 on the Calculator paper
    based on the results people have posted what can we assume the Grade boundaries will be for both tests?
    How did everyone else do on the test today?

    I believe grade boundaries are made after every single paper been marked and to see if people have done bad or not then the grade boundaries are made, sorry for my poor English.

    No one knows the grade boundaries just wait two month and you have your results.

    Between 60 and 68 would be my guess.

    Looking at both papers my prediction for A* is likely to be 175 - 180.

    The grade boundaries are likely to be around 120-124 for an 'A' and from 160-164 for an A*

    That looks a bit too low. November 2011 was only 160 because the paper was very hard but if it is 160-164 that would be amazing! But still think its 180 for A*.
