    are you serious or is this a joke lol....

    198/200 would most definitely be an A*....the grade boundaries are normally around 85 but it is expected to be a little lower this year due to the new spec.

    What do you mean by part b of this answer? I mean, what would be a example of non-overlapping boxes?

    "3. Questionnaire

    a) Any two of: overlapping time periods; no option for more than 4 hours; no option for 2-3 hours; doesn’t say time period (2 marks)

    b) Improved question with non-overlapping boxes and a time period specified (2 marks)"

    Could you give me a example of non overlapping boxes please for e.g.

    0-1
    Over 1-2

    You won't lose any marks. Mr M said 100 times you don't need to say MPH for the 3rd mark.
