    Cheers for the Poll, I did quite well in section A and Section C, Section B was quite challenging for me, So therefore I think I will probally get in the region of 50-60 marks.

    I'm completely unsure, but at a guess I'm gonna say 70 - 80. Do you want me to quote the various people I quoted in the OP in the other thread (quote-ception)?

    Okay, this is an incomplete list for sure (and may even have people who didn't sit it), but this should provide a better response:

    You could be referring to percentages though. I just think you could've made it clearer.

    This is the general feeling, however it's OCR, doubt they'll lower grade boundaries because they hardly ever do

    I don't know what I did get in the paper but I'm hoping for a minimum of 133/150 UMS so as to achieve 90% overall in AS Physics.

    Being realistic, I hope for approximately 80/100 marks on that...

    I don't actually know how well I did, i answered mostly everything, but im going to say 50-60, but it may be well higher. I think 50-60 would be an E or a D, because everyone seems to have mostly higher expectations

    Re: physics ocr B poll
    Thought this was really difficult, I haven't been looking though what was the general view of this paper?

    I am hoping for around 70 marks realistically, hoping the A grade boundary will be below 70, it has been sometimes.

    Didn't do that well in the other paper either *sigh* the only thing I have going for me is a fair 56/60 UMS for the practical.

    Going into results day Physics will be my biggest fear!
