    It wasn't as bad as I was expecting, the 6 marker with the 12-15 year olds I started talking about inappropriate content and staying safe online (ie talking to people you don't know etc)

    The last one I started to talk about staying safe online, cyberbullying and began to talk into the digital divide. I'm not too sure how well I did though, what did you all put for the Games console disabled devices one?

    And any chance of anyone having an unofficial mark scheme?

    Based on the January 2011 exam, which I thought was the same sort of difficulty I would go on the basis of:

    A* = 62
    A = 54
    B = 46
    C = 39
    D = 34
    E = 29
    F = 25
    G = 21
    U = 0

    These are raw marks, and aren't necessarily the grade bounderies, they have been taken from an old mark scheme

    that's a bit reassuring actually because i was worried it may be
    A* - 72
    A - 64
    B - 56
    C -48 etc.

    If you got an A* in the cab you only needed like 60% for an A* overall so don't panic

    I thought it was quite an easy paper. What was a disadvantage of hands free motion sensor gaming?

    Expected Grade Boundary for:
    GCSE EDEXCEL ICT UNIT 1 (01/06/2012) (test is out of 80)
    A*- 65
    A - 56
    B - 47
    C - 39
    D - 35
    E - 31
    F - 27
    G - 23
    Hey everyone, hope you are all well. According to Raasib21, my grade bounderies taken from an old mark scheme weren't far off at all. I've quoted from the different thread so you can see them all.
