    AQA, you?
    For AQA June 2011 Listening for example the grade boundaries are:
    • A* 32 out of 40
    • A 28 out of 40
    • B 24 out of 40
    • C 21 out of 40
    I'm sitting AQA aswell. Higher reading and foundation listening. Aiming for a B overall. You?

    It would probably be a B grade.

    Aiming for an 'A' - but a 'B' more likely. I got a high 'C' (few marks off a 'B' for c/w), you? I could've tried harder in c/w but didn't. I need a high 'A'/low 'A*' to get an 'A' - doubt I'll do it though What are you revising?

    And also: I am taking both highers

    I'd say it was a grade A judging from the June 2011 AQA Listening grade boundaries

    I think I got high B's in my coursework, my teacher says the examinar may give me an A. Aiming for a high C in foundation listening and an A or B in higher reading, but in my past papers I've been getting A*s. overall aiming for a B, I'd be amazed if I got an A but dont think that'll happen.

    I'm just doing past papers for reading, and nothing for listening, it's very easy on foundation. You?

    I have been doing reading. Do you know what exam is first? I think it is reading? When's yours?

    Depends on whether it was a higher or lower papers - if it was highest then most definitely an A, lower possibly B
