    So that means if you get every question about the case studies perfect, you get an A?

    I would advice not to be worried to much, the boundaries for this paper (PY2) is quite low i checked boundaries for all the previous papers and it shows only that you only need 57/90 to get an A, in one paper it was 53.

    Did PY1 last week and thought I did pretty well, not looking forward to PY2 - we've practically taught ourselves all year.

    Hearing the grade boundaries though has given me some hope - although trying to revise this and law at the same time is turning my brain to scrambled egg!

    And Alternative Evidence can **** off.

    i've never written more bull in my life. Langer and Rodin and bennett levy put me off. How many marks would we need to scrape a D?

    Bro, I did the exact same bloody thing. I didn't even mention Biological preparedness in the conclusion, I included no correlations either.

    The section C was the worst, I thought I could get marks there. I'm pretty sure after the examiner reads that he'll think I was an idiot.
    That exam destroyed me.

    Re-taking January. nuff said.

    Only one that really caught me out was Langer and Rodin, the rest I think I got 8+ marks on each of them which if my calculations are correct is enough for an 'A' so I'm happy - moving onto Unit 2 Law now for tomorrow!

    Hmmm I think a C is 56 and a B is 63 (thats what my tutor told me) so a D is probably 49/90 ish?

    I think I got a C, just scraped a B if I'm very lucky but I doubt it.

    Good luck for results day anyway though everyone, I'm sure you've all done fine! x

    I found the aims/context/procedures/methodology questions good Forgot some findings for the findings question, muddled up slightly on alternative evidence and didn't do that good on research methods :P
