    I need an E on this paper to get my target grade. How many raw marks will be required to get to get an E on this paper.

    my target is a C. but DAMN!!! 33/60 for an E. i heard people say that this exam was harder than january one so an E wont be above 30. Did you do this exam or are making an educated guess? I dont think i got 30 marks in that exam because I made some stupid mistakes and missed out a page accidently.

    ok so january 2011 was 27, june 2011 was 25, jan 2012 was 33.

    So if youre saying it was harder than jan I would guess around 28-29

    It is only an educated guess, no one knows for sure. But it usually fits the pattern.

    Well that may have been because you lot got to resit it. For first timers that was really quite challenging.

    I honestly can't say. I've been shocked by grade boundaries before so I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

    Nope did them both in June for the first time. It's not uncommon though for some schools to make their students sit EEE first.

    I get the logicof sitting the bigger exam first to allow for resits, but I always thought RPA was the worst of the four exams.
