    GCSE Statistics
    I have completed my AQA GCSE Statistics controlled assessment (worth 25%), and I was wondering if anyone knew of what the grade boundaries are going to be like. It's out of 40, and I could do with knowing what I'm looking at with 32.

    Don't stress too much, the actual exam part is worth more and has a lower boundary for an A. I got a C in the coursework and got an A overall because of the exam. Either way, you should get an A overall if you can apply all the work you did in the coursework in the exam. Plus if i'm right your exam will be about 2 hours long. I even had time for a toilet break. Twice.

    Good luck. Oh and the boundary for an A should be like 30-33.

    Selecting last year, gcse, stats unit 2 says 31 was an a*
    If that is the course youre doing...

    Controlled assessments are a newish thing so the boundaries are more likely to go up than down as they become a less new thing and people get better at them

    The exam has far more weighting so if you've got a solid A in this, then you could still easily aim for an A* if that's what youre aiming for.
