    The UNIT 2 this year seemed much harder than UNIT last year? Do you think the GRADE BOUNDARIES will go up or down? I failed this test I got 28-30

    There are two types..modular and linear and they surely won't get rid of modular and only have linear. If you're in year 11 and didn't do so well on your unit one and as well as this unit, then I would assume your school would allow you to change to do linear which would mean that your previous exams don't count. Not entirely sure what you're actually asking though, could you rephrase?

    The government wants all GCSE exams to be linear but don't worry Dan, the change won't be immediate. There will be oppotunities to resit modular units if you need to. If you do switch to linear at any stage you'll find your modular syllabus already uses the new types of questions that the linear exams will feature for the first time this summer.

    To get an A, you need 44/60. The rest of the boundaries are here:http://www.edexcel.com/iwantto/I%20w...Boundaries.pdf

    The results for Unit Two are on the last page

    As this paper was harder than last years the grade boundaries are slightly lower. To get an A* you would have to get 52
